Red Mosquito

Guess I should clarify I'm listening to the original.

Hmm...I'm intrigued.

Binaural is perfect.

just started - that was true of breakerfall

i went song by song in the amtos thread, but this is, easily, the best of the atmos mixes thus far (at least on air pods). generally more clarity and separation without losing cohesion. there are some songs where you lose atmosphere, and occasional volume dynamics issues (think of the just breathe jump from verse to chorus). and there are a few songs that improve on the originals, either by slight alterations in vibe (thin air), leaning into what it does and giving you more/doing it better (rival, sleight of hand, of the girl), or transforming the song in subtle but real ways (parting ways)


Breakerfal: slight improvement
Gods’ Dice: same
evacuation: slight improvement (but still evacuation)
light years: slightly worse
nothing as it seems: worse
insignificance: same
thin air: slight improvement
of the girl: improvement
grievance: same
rival: improvement
sleight of hand: major improvement
soon forget: same
parting ways: improvement

which songs have the binaural recording on the original album?

if binaural was

Breakerfall - atmos
gods dice - atmos
evacuation- maybe atmos
light years - original
nothing as it seems - original
thin air - atmos
insignificance- original
of the girl - atmos
grievance - either
rival - atmos
sleight of hand - atmos
soon forget - either
parting ways - atmos

binaural moves up 2-4 spots in my rankings

NAIS, Of the Girl, Rival, Sleight of Hand, Soon Forget, Parting Ways.

to my ears - and maybe a few others here - Sleight of Hand has the biggest improvement with the atmos mix.

Stip is trolling again, NAIS sounds awesome on atmos.
Personally, I switch head tracking off on the airpods setting, this places you "fixed in the middle" of the mix. Very little volume bumps.

The only place you could hear this is in Apple Music?

Turning that damn head tracking off is an absolute must

I'd say its well worth a shot... Head tracking is cool for a bit, but too distracting for me.
Check this out for a far better explanation:

Spoiler: show

BLU-RAY just showed up at the house.

So lemme get this right...

25th Anniversary release.
No vintage mixes.
No Tchad Blake version.
No outtakes or extras.

This band never fails to astonish me.

Stone hates this album so maybe they just didn’t put any effort into it.

The packaging on the bluray is ever a pain in the ass. despite the larger format, each page of lyrics is 1/4 of a CD-sized booklet.

i cant' wait to see the stationary nebula on my screen for 70 minutes.

LOL

did malibu stacy at least give you a new hat?

We need a mega leak of that era.
