for streaming i will listen to it as lossy as it may be. would definitely buy a physical disc in a heartbeat. saw the sphere concert last month in vegas and it was really something else.
I’ve been hoping since Dylan’s Time Out of Mind got the Apple/SDE ATMOS releases that more Lanois-produced albums might get the surround treatment. Until then I thought it highly unlikely because Lanois has a fair bit of say and doesn’t seem to care for remixes (though a few stealthy tracks made it through from that Dylan album years ago).
Achtung Baby in surround has been on my wishlist forever. Would be an instant buy for me but I fear a physical release will be locked in yet another bloated box set. If so, will have to be content with streaming.
Yes!Is that in Atmos?
Agreed, took a quick listen to a few songs and diffuse sounding is dead on. Very disappointed upon first glance.I sampled a few tracks and so far, I'm mostly unimpressed. The original stereo version of "Mysterious Ways" sounds so punchy and exciting, but there's a kind of diffuse and distant quality to the Atmos mix. The core instrumentation (drums, guitars, lead vocal) is stuck 100% to the front wall, with just the big reverbs/delays and a synth pad filling up all the other channels.
Fortunately, some of the other tracks seem to fare a bit better. I agree with others that "The Fly" is a highlight - the falsetto vocals appearing first in the front heights, then switching to the rear surrounds was definitely cool.
Saw the Talking Heads film at an AMC in Long Island, NY on my birthday last year. Sadly it seemed like they had only the front speakers turned on with just two parties attending. Me my wife, and a family with an enthusiastic dad.Given the remarkable success of the recent Talking Heads Stop Making Sense 4K/Atmos concert to digital theatres, I’m surprised more artists like U2 don’t release old concerts with remastered video and Atmos remixed audio. There is a huge fan base just waiting to attend and re-live those events, especially fans that can’t reproduce the original volume and dynamics at home.
