Tears For Fears "Songs From The Big Chair" - new Steven Wilson Atmos mix now streaming!

[Ick]

I’m also seeing TFF Songs from the Big Chair listed under Spatial Audio section, but it’s not playing in Atmos. Maybe soon?

Sounds about right, as the album is celebrating 40 this week.

Here in the Netherlands the album is also listed under "Featured Albums" in the Spatial Audio section. But indeed, no actual Atmos yet.

Yes, also in my territory.
Also, the album now has a DA tag inside the release. Something it didn't had a few moments ago, so we are very close to getting this in ATMOS

Tomorrow hopefully?

Interesting Paul over at SDE didn't get it for a physical release.
If I'm not misremembering, The Hurting was not a streaming exclusive with the SDE disc coming out close.

Well, maybe an SDE release will surface eventually? After the succesful collaborations in the past, I cannot imagine them passing him by.
Perhaps they now plan on doing a more widely distributed big box. It would be a bit 'low profile' perhaps to just do an SDE blu-ray. So they could do what The Who did: a big comprehensive box first and then a stand-alone blu-ray through SDE. We'll have to wait and see.

Nice! Hoping Tidal follows suit at midnight.

Curious to see if Broken is still an upmix or if they found the multitracks.

I presume it’s a Steven Wilson mix?

Yep.

Here we go. (Or maybe not quite yet. At posting time in the US, the album has the "Atmos" designator, but the tracks still only play in lossless stereo.) Soon!

In the US store now. Listening in Atmos on Apple TV 4K currently and sounds pretty good so far.

This is playing in Atmos in the UK. Sounds great so far, Nice separation across all speakers. Just praying SDE release a Bluray of this as that will make a huge difference to the sound (at least on my system anyway). The Bluray version of Hurting is massively different to the Apple music version to my ears. EDIT * The mix for the whole album is fantastic. It feels very different from the 5.1. I also feel like SW is using different takes than before (although it may just be the way he's mixed it) as I'm hearing instrumental parts ive not heard before. Anyway....it's bloody brilliant!*

I agree with most of this, channel separation is great and 95% of it is brilliant but unfortunately “Shout” lacks the thunderous drum sound that is in the 5.1 mix from many years ago, maybe this is an Apple limitation thing and the Blu-ray Disc will fix this.
