Loved this album when it came out. I flattened many a battery playing this on my Walkman.
Reckless had so many great songs, this one, Summer of 69’ but it was the ballads that got the most play.. -
I’ve been giving a listen to some of the new Dolby Atmos content on Apple Music. I know it’s probably going to annoy some of the purists by I’m sold. Just been listening to Grover Washington’s Just The Two of Us from Winelight and it is astonishing. Grab a pair of headphones and jump on in.

I've told the story before that I got to go to the Dolby HQ a couple of years back andthey gave us atmos demos on movies and home theatre. I spent the whole time thinking about the possibilities with music.
I reckon rock music is 'forward facing' and doesn't really need it but jazz and classical or more avant-garde stuff had amazing possibilities. For instance you could be in the conductors position in front of a full orchestra with instrument placing around you.
Very cool stuff and the biggest change in how producers will think since stereo. -
@crucial They’ve got a new Atmos version of Shorter’s Juju on there which is worth a listen. I couldn’t listen to the CD Stereo version, too harsh but this is quite different. You get a real sense for how much of the density of the original version is actually just Elvin Jones’s playing. Of course if you’re not fussed about jazz then this is something to really hate.

Heaven is so good. The mtv unplugged album he did was good too, all of the goodies live. I'm Ready is one of my faves too.You know when I was a kid I was convinced he and Marty McFly were one and the same person. Was disappointed to find out they weren't.

Got around to updating the phone and having a listen. Going through some of the curated examples.
There is a good introduction on there using 'What's Going On' in mono, stereo and atmos. The atmos mix is nice and subtle (although the accidental Detroit MIx is still my favourite version of that track. Takes Gaye's double tracked vocals and mixes them as if dueting with himself).
Also had a listen to George Benson's'Give me the night' and dreamed I was sitting next to Q at the desk. -
@r-l No surprises.

@majorrage god I forgot I loved this! Excellent. This is what I love about this thread, adding it to my spotify list now.
And I'm not a fan either, just this song.

@pakman ha, you're going to say I'm "such a girl" aren't you... But @Virgil likes Bryan too
Early Bryan was the best, even saw him live in ‘91… then he popped up again with The Spirit soundtrack which my youngest has discovered and plays all the time
-
@R-L Bryan transcends all sexes (yes even non binary, probably) and ages..
have a sudden urge to open up Spotify and create a new playlist...

@virgil send me the spotify link to your new "bryan mixtape" I wont have to make one then.
careful what you wish for, theres so much to choose from it might require multiple playlists...
