Tidal is a source for multichannel music too….
Some songs have been awesome, huge soundstage, well defined and spaced instruments or effects. Ireally like it. Some of the classical is great, but not my usual jam. Other songs have been all over the place. I would describe it as a loss of coherence, if that is the correct term. I think the older stuff that has been dragged into multi-channel is usually less effective, where some of the newer stuff with access to the original masters has generally been better.
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s album is a mess
Half Moon Run - How Come my Body track is a fun spin.
Lord Huron - Long Lost album: I found it hard to hear, lacked resolution on vocals.Not a good job on an otherwise good album
Prince - When Doves Cry: kinda bonkers mix, pushed very wide.
The Rolling Stones - Angie is pretty well done for an older track.
Billie Eillish - Happier than Ever is a well done spatial album that I would not have listened to otherwise, but I found pretty good, actually.
St. Vincent - Daddy’s Home is just nuts, like her. So fitting, I guess. I like it.
Queen‘s Bohemian Rhapsody is an example of a mess.
