This year, we celebrate Elton John’s 75th birthday with an unprecedented release: 'Diamonds: The Ultimate Greatest Hits' mixed in Dolby Atmos...immersing the listener in spatial audio on Apple music, HD audio on Amazon Music, and 360 audio on Tidal for the very first time. By John F. Higgins

Derived from the word “atmosphere”, it is a technology created by Dolby Laboratories, originally for modern movie theaters and big budget action films, intended to engage the listener in audio like never before. It is now being enthusiastically developed for music, primarily reaching the consumer via the three main streaming services. A large part of the overall Immersive Music format, Atmos is the most spacious version of surround-sound ever built. Depending on what you are listening on (ear buds, soundbar, home theater system) it either puts the music all around you - in front, beside, behind, above - or, at the very least, spreads the stereo out in a wider, richer expanse that provides much more aural spectrum space for each instrument to sit in. Think of it as stereo on steroids. A lot of steroids. Atmos is also one of those things that, the more one tries to describe it, the more the magic can get lost. It is very hard to explain on an emotional level, even though that is exactly where it hits.
