I put on the Purple Rain album once that had been remixed into Atmos and it detracted from the sound of the band - The Revolution - it just didn’t sound like them and it didn’t sound good either. I saw them live not too long ago so I know what they want to sound like. If Atmos was like Q Sound and an intrinsic part of the artists’ recording and mixing process, that would be one thing, but sticking it on afterwards, especially when the core guy is dead, is just fucking things up. It’s the musical equivalent of the woman who tried to restore the Ecce Homo painting. For decades, everyone has been obsessed with trying to remaster and restore music and extract as much as possible from the original recording, resulting in outstanding work (I like The Beatles’ Love, btw) and I guess we’ve run out of projects for remastering engineers if retrofitting Dolby Atmos is all they’ve got.
