New Order: Movement offers Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0 options. Once again the venerable Steven Wilson has worked his considerable magic with the Atmos mix, which offers both simultaneous engagement of all the surround channels for things like the guitars in Dreams Never End while also providing discrete channelization for things like precussion (interestingly, percussion is imaged toward the rear in songs like Dreams Never End, but can erupt more frontward as in Truth. Vocals are intentionally buried at times, though in toggling to the instrumental versions (available in LPCM 2.0), it's obvious that that were kind of smartly mixed to be maybe just on the cusp of liminality or at least easy comprehension. The 5.1 track can be just a bit brighter at times than the Atmos track in what I'd term the upper midrange (i.e., not the very highest frequencies, but maybe the next stratum down). I'd rate the 2019 stereo remaster as even brighter overall than any of the 2024 mixes, and in fact a very slight (almost inaudible) high frequency whine can be made out at the very beginning of that version.
