Deep Purple Machine Head TrueHD Dolby Atmos Blu-ray

[The Computer Audiophile]

Deep purple has announced a deluxe edition of Machine Head containing the Blu-ray with TrueHD Dolby Atmos. It was mixed by Dweezil Zappa. Based on Dweezil's previous work, I have high hopes.

 

Comes out March 29, 2024.

I've been listening this afternoon to the Atmos version. I love it. I have no real connection to the original versions of this album, other than hearing a couple of the tracks on the radio a million times. I think this puts me in a good / neutral position for the D. Zappa remix, and enables me to really enjoy it. Word on the street is that many people who know this album inside and out, aren't too pleased with the Atmos mix. At least we have options and at least it's something different from the other releases of this album. There's nothing worse than repackaging the same thing to sell to super fans again and again.
