The Church "The Hypnogogue" - Dolby Atmos mix now available as a lossless download!

Just picked this one up as well, a nice selection of albums to enjoy this week-end when I have some time alone.
=D

Just as a heads-up, Church member Jeffrey Cain's upcoming solo release The End of Unknowing (issued under the name Iris Doe) has also been mixed in Atmos by Darrell Thorp. The first two singles - "Tears Ignite Again" and "A Miss Of You" - are already up on Apple Music, but the full release drops via streaming and IAA (TrueHD lossless download) on May 31.

How do I play this on my Oppo player?

When you go to that front menu on your Oppo when you can choose from things like Disc, Music, Photo, Video, etc, make sure you pick the video or movie option and not the music option.

It's a killer mix. Not too many people know how prolific Steven Kilbey is as a songwriter. The Church has been putting out albums for more than 40 years now, and Kilbey has side projects and solo albums that must number in the 15-20 range.

And the cool thing is he's still good, still making trippy *** music all these years later. You could throw this new one on right after Heyday and not know that there are nearly 40 years between them.

Will this eventually be a physical release?

Nope.

How is it in 5.1 without atmos?

 

[splinter7]

The 5.1 is excellent. A dreamy, psychedelic, neo-proggy adventure.

As would be expected with a Church album, there is a lot of music layers and both the Atmos and 5.1 mix do a great job of being active in all the speakers with a fair amount of discrete elements in each track.

Maybe it is just me but I think the vocals are a bit more clear in the 5.1 than the Atmos.

Such an underrated release.

 

[The Rang]

Nope.

Tragic if that’s true

Honestly, I didn't find it to be inconvenient to put these on a flash drive and listen to them that way through the Oppo. At least I don't have to deal with the preloading and menu crap on a blu ray. I too like something a bit more tangible, but the true joy of the surround experience is in the listening.

I would be interested, but unfortunately they are too expensive for me.
