immersive Immersive Album Of The Evening

[The Computer Audiophile]

Hey Guys, those of us who've taken the plunge into immersive audio, either via headphones or speakers, often end up sharing our recommendations or what we're currently listening to, via email or text. We need a place in which we can share  this great music with everyone else, similar to the long-running Album of the Evening thread.

 

This is that place. It may be a little quiet right now, or dominated by a few of us, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. 

 

I'm currently listening to this one by Dave Mckendry. It's a really solid album, with a solid Atmos mix. The Blu-ray rip has a couple bonus tracks unavailable via streaming. I love the song islander and the acoustic version of it.

I'm not the biggest fan of this music, but I like the Atmos mix. It brings life to what I otherwise think is boring music :~)

As my system is coming together, I am thrilled with what I hear.  Last evening I started listening to a favorite:

Also in TrueHD

Switching between the CD 2-channel version and the two ATMOS versions is very interesting.

I can listen to this one all day / night. Instrument placement on the Atmos soundstage is really powerful.

In honor of @JoshM's new TBVO, and @ted_b mentioning this release in Atmos :~)

Along with their other immersive Bluray, Galvany Street (and streamed, but who wants to stream when one can hear the TrueHD version :) ) I have had this on for some time (albeit on Apple cuz I can't find the time to buy the damn disc).  It may be my Atmos album of the year, but I'm still contemplating.  :)

I don't have the opportunity to listen to Atmos versions, however, I want to point out that this is a great album!

[The Computer Audiophile]

I just received and ripped the Blu-ray of this. Playing the lossless TrueHD Atmos now. This is really good.

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

This is a neat album.

In glorious lossless TrueHD Atmos :~)

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

Absolutely cranking this one right now :~)

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

This is an unexpected gem. Really good music and a really nice Atmos mix.

Music I would've never listened to, if not for Atmos. Now, I absolutely love this album. The Atmos mix is stellar.

Chris,

I could not agree more.  I have found sooo many new artists/albums since joining the immersive club.  This one, in particular, has so grown on me that I was going to list it yesterday...and forgot.  :)

 

And some of the new ones are not even that creative in the Atmos mix category, but the fact that they delivered a great sounding mix (and musical) is sometimes more than enough.  Julian Lage's new album, View With A Room, is one such album.  Even the Apple compressed mix has great tonality and a rich acoustic envelope.  Doesn't hurt that Bill Frisell plays on every tune.  :)

Listening to this now Ted. Wow, it's really nice. The mix serves the music perfectly. 

 

Without experience, many people would say this type of music just can't sound good in an immersive format. The more I listen to it, the more sublime I think it is.

@The Computer Audiophile posted this one on the regular thread.  I have to add it here listening to it now in ATMOS. It just flows along so well!

Just got Magnificat from 2L in Atmos, Auro 3D, and 24/352.8 discrete immersive!
