Kraftwerk is more of an electronic act, and this cut is actually from 3:D Der Katalog (Live), a 2017 recording. Okay, so this one is a bit of an outlier in my list.
When we finally get to the track’s famous guitar solo, it swerves and takes flight, making the most of the freeform Atmos sound space. There is a strong sense here of being in the same space as the musicians, with guitar and bass embracing your ears as Neil Peart’s ferocious drumming is conveyed with full-throttle energy.
Those who were fortunate enough to catch Rush play live not just during their Moving Pictures peak, but at any show ever, will appreciate this dynamic Atmos mix of Limelight, a top track from the Moving Pictures album, which was executed by the album’s original engineer, Richard Chycki. At one point, Jim Morrison can very briefly be heard clapping and yowling – yes, it’s the Lizard King, poking through the mellow musical tempest to make his presence known. Next, there’s a warm wash of bass and drums and the keyboard embraces your head like a soft pillow. The Atmos version of Riders on the Storm on Apple Music starts off in the studio with band banter – and it sounds like you are standing right there beside them in 1971.Ī thunderstorm rolls in and swirls around. And that guitar solo: it seems to emanate from everywhere, and it’s glorious. Lindsey Buckingham’s vocals remain firmly centered in the mix, and when Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie join in during the chorus, the blended trio of voices soars high and wide. Chiming guitars ring out at either side of your head and the drums create a powerful foundation. Go Your Own Way storms out of the gate in Atmos. Rumours is the album where things went a bit crazy personally for Fleetwood Mac, but they nonetheless managed to channel that craziness into making what has become one of the most beloved and admired albums of the classic rock era. Heard on good headphones in Atmos, it’s a sheer delight. Come Together would sound great played on an old AM radio in a basement and listened to from one floor up. And when the guitar enters during the chorus, it has a riveting presence that locks everything in. John Lennon’s voice towers from above while Ringo Starr’s hi-hat cymbals and drum fills snake around you, making it seem like you are inside his set. Martin’s magic touch illuminates every Abbey Road track in Atmos, but to my ears Come Together is the one that benefits most from an immersive mix.
