Pearl Jam albums in Dolby Atmos surround

So we all know that Pearl Jam did a Dolby Atmos surround mix of Gigaton to go alongside the whole visual album thing they released (eventually) on AppleTV+ and for purchase. And then when Apple did their whole new Dolby Atmos driven Spatial Audio thing, they made Gigaton a part of that, even apart from the visual album. When you stream Gigaton on compatible systems (headphones or surround systems) you hear the Atmos mix.

Now today (I think) without any fanfare or word that I could find, they suddenly put brand new Dolby Atmos surround mixes up of both Ten and No Code. These are brand new full Atmos surround mixes of these two albums, never heard before now that I am aware of. Like Gigaton, when you stream either Ten or No Code using Apple Music on compatible systems (headphones or surround systems) you hear the Atmos mix, if Atmos is turned on in your settings for Music.

The impact in headphones is definitely noticeable, for me largely because it's a clearer, richer sound with deeper and more natural bass sound. But on my Atmos surround home theater system, it's a completely insane revolutionary experience. The music envelopes you like never before, instruments and sounds come from behind, beside you, all around. Sometimes the. music swirls around and comes from everywhere in the room. It's mind blowing on some songs.

Does anyone else enjoy music in surround? Is anyone else listening to these?

    Yea it was announced a few months back that Apple was doing it to a lot of their catalog. Gigaton was the first album by UMG I believe to be recorded on Dolby Atmos

    Apple is not doing the Atmos themselves, this was something that was done with the approval of the band. And someone mixed it. Could be Josh Evans, could be someone else. Not sure. I hope we get more info. I imagine maybe the band announces something official tomorrow with the actual anniversary date?

    Might have to look into this. I have a Note 20 Ultra, & I use Shure SE 535 headphones to listen to music. The phone supports Atmos. Gigaton sounds absolutely otherworldly.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    I’ve been majorly digging these dolby atmos/spatial audio ten and no code mixes on my AirPod pros. No code is insane.

    You should hear it on a 5.1 surround speaker system... it's pure bliss. Who You Are is one of the best songs in surround I've ever heard. Off He Goes is everything I dreamed of. SOOOO good.

    I purchased a new Atmos system last year with new speakers. Everything but the Atmos speakers have been hooked up. Need to get on it this weekend to give these all a listen.

    Did anyone else notice that the vocal track on Release is a totally different performance? it sounds newer to me, like Ed came back and recorded it later. He even uses some of the different lyrics like he does in concert...

    I think he re-did it for that movie Furnace something or another with Christian Bale? Anyone else remember this?

    Out of the Furnace. No shit, I had no idea he did that. It sure makes sense... even if it is a bizarre choice to include it in the Ten Atmos mix.

    Just reading and learning about this now... and wanted to get some advice from you folks.

    I don't have Apple Music, but for this I'm going to take advantage of this free 3 month things and then cancel. 

    My iPhone doesn't have an input, it just uses bluetooth.  I have these Bob Marley bluetooth headphones... but I also have a stereo receiver that does bluetooth as well. 

    Is the quality still good through bluetooth?  If I set up my bluetooth receiver, do you recommend I hook it up to my good surround system? 

    Thanks in advance! 

    Edit: Would my receiver need to have this 'Dolby Atmos' technology, or is that all through Apple Music?

    It will sound a bit different, but you need atmos compatible headphones. AirPods are some of the easiest to get. I think Beats makes some too. 

    As for a home theater setup, yeah, your receiver needs to be Atmos compatible.

    I agree. I'd love to have everything in Atmos. But definitely want the studio albums. Vitalogy next!?!?!?

    Missed opportunity for the recent vinyl reissues ("purple" Ten, "clear" No Code) to have been these remixes. :i_dunno:

    You can't do Atmos remixes on vinyl. Atmos is a digital format. Vinyl is analog.

    It is possible (and I hope they do it) that these new mixes would be released on Blu Ray. But then I also wish they would release the Gigaton Visual Album on Blu Ray too.

    For the headphone crowd. iPad Pro's do Atmos playback, get the USB-C to headphone jack (like $5) and then get a pair of ATH-M50x's. They are amazing headphones that play back Atmos. Apple Airpods suck IMO.

    AirPods suck. AirPods Pro are way way better. I still prefer my Sennheisers for serious stereo listening, but when I am exercising or working around the house, the AirPods Pro are really great.

    I thought Gigaton on vinyl was mixed for Atmos.
