Neil Young and covers

My favourite Neil Young album is Dead Man (Music from and inspired by the motion picture).

I’ve often wondered why there is a mix of modern sounds—car engines—and the movie dialogue. Still it does not make it worse.

But Cortez the Killer—Neil’s song I most enjoy—is not on this album. Cortez the Killer, is a song that I could listen to all day. I often seek out new cover versions. Built To Spill and Slint both did excellent live versions.

Decided leave Dolby Atmos in the off state for my iOS devices. For me it lacks clarity (I don’t have lossless on) when listening with headphones.

I was able to switch between formats in the iOS settings: Dolby Atmos (Automatic | Off) to compare without much disruption.

The less hassle, the better.

But directly translates to something more like ‘one more thing is not as good as one less thing’.
