Dolby Atmos Music Mixes


Please share your thoughts on the Dolby Atmos music mixes you’ve heard.  The best, worst and in between.

I’ll start by sharing the 3 best Blurays with atmos mixes I’ve heard so far.  Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and Animals along with Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms are the 3 best mixes I’ve heard so far.  

You might want to check out Ian Beabout's YouTube channel; that's his area of expertise and he reviews a lot of Atmos and surround sound mixes of various albums, mostly progressive rock. 

Thanks I have.  That’s one of things I was thinking about when I started the thread.  He did a video with a couple of guests and they discussed their favorite mixes including quad and 5.1 mixes.  

I have yet to hear a horrid sounding atmos mix...the software itself can help the mastering engr to not be a blooming idiot, but, can name hundreds of horrid stereo mixes.

If you feel like dancin/being in a rave....get the Tiesto - Elements of Life Bluray and crank it up. It has a 5.1 DTS mix which you can pull up into neural X or a 7.1.4 auro mix, done by Darcy Proper (Grammy winner, she's good). Here's a youtube sample from that album. You could upmix it and compare it back with her mix perhaps to get an idea.

Almost any Steven Wilson atmos album is good, if you like prog rock.

Peter Gabriel's I/O album came out more recently with an atmos mix, worth listening to..

Tori Amos - Unrepentant Geralidines atmos bluray is good..

etc...etc

Get on apple music, there are thousands of tracks on there.

Quadrophonicquad is an entire forum for surround/atmos music enthusisasts and plenty of discussions on this topic over there. 

 

Thanks for the recommendations.  I’ve tried the Apple Music mixes.  I’ve played them through the Heos app on my Denon AVR but they don’t seem to have a atmos mix on playback.  Will checkout that forum.
