Listening to Binaural now on Apple music. All songs I'm seeing are in Atmos. It sounds amazing on my Airpods Pro 2. Damn, I remember listening to this CD with headphones back in the day thinking "This is amazing". This is a next level for sure.
I finally got around to listening to Binaural on my Atmos system and wow. It's everything I was hoping it would be and more. I usually jot down "demo" tracks when I come across them in my listening. These are tracks where the use of surround is so excellent that I would use them if I was demo'ing Atmos music to someone for the first time, etc. Many mixes don't have any. The ones that do might have one to three. Genuinely, I put like 5 or 6 tracks from Binaural on my Demo Tracks list. It's spectacular in Atmos. "Of The Girl" and "Nothing As It Seems" were everything I always dreamed they could be. But I was surprised at tracks like "Evacuation" and "Insignificance." Both of those tracks are incredible in surround. The whole album works so well. I cannot wait to listen more!

Just curious, do you have a full Atmos set up? My wife got me a bose smart sound bar , i know its not the full atmos experience but it’s much better then airpods.
Springfield 94 hartford 96,98,06,08 xl center 2010,2013 boston 06,2010 mansfield ma 1998,2000,2003,2008
Full Atmos setup here - Denon X3800H, B&W 600 S2 AE Series towers for fronts, the centre speaker, and bookshelves as rears, Cambridge Audio Minx Min22’s as the overheads and an SVS SB-3000 Sub. Very happy with it.
So far have listened to Binaural, which is unreal, and Dark Matter, which is a bit of a mixing mess. First couple of songs seem to have volume issues, especially the end of Scared of Fear which loses volume at a weird point. Tried on two different players so isn’t that. Just seems a poor mix in Atmos - doesn’t happen with the LPCM version.
Will be trying Vitalogy tonight, looking forward to that
