PRINCE PURPLE RAIN Dolby Atmos mix REVIEW

[@RBHADD]

Glad you liked it but, a mix is part of the art. Mix a guitar up, are down. Prince chose to bury his amazing guitar playing on When Doves Cry. So if a mixer decided to boost his guitar playing at the end of WDC, he is making an artistic decision, right? So the ATMOs mixes bother me. They are just taking liberties ..having said that, I will buy this (as I did the D&P ATMOS BLU ray). I will always support the Estate. But, all the talk of separation and clearer sound..it is a new mix. Troubling

It’s the age we live in now. How younger generations and audiophiles consume music is different from our vinyl and CD days. At the end of the day it’s all subjective. I’ve heard a lot about Dolby from other shows talking about other artists, but was always happy with my CD or vinyl listening and how I was listening prior to these early buds. I’m really impressed with the Purple Rain mix. I think the audiophiles will dig it. It’s the best I’ve heard and eclipses other artists I’ve heard in this format recently. I’ve been saying Jimi’s First Rays of the New Rising Sun comes close.

@@amaricommunications4183. So, do you recall all the anger over whether Baby You’re a Trip was Frankensteined ..his lead and Jill’s background vs his own. Whether he intended that final song mix on Originals or not? Well, these ATMOS mixes are way more than all that. I see your point about how to reach younger audiences but, to me, that is just licensing his songs to movies. I learned of classics from movies- I’ll Be Around/ Dead Presidents, Computer Love/Menace 2 Society, If You Think You’re Lonely Now/ Jason’s Lyric etc.

Sounds like a whole new album. I thought I was tripping.😅 Gonna take some getting used to. But so far I’m digging it
