Making its debut in Dolby Atmos spatial audio, Parlophone Records confirmed the first ever Dolby Atmos spatial audio version of DAVID BOWIE’s The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, the new album mix of which will be available on Blu-Ray Audio on September 6th.
Featuring four versions of the timeless LP: 2024 Dolby Atmos mix, 2024 Stereo Mix (96 khz / 24-bit pcm), original 1972 Stereo Mix – 2012 remaster (192 khz / 24-bit pcm), original 1972 Stereo Mix – 2012 remaster (48 khz / 24-bit pcm,) the Atmos version of the album was mixed by Emre Ramazanoglu and Ken Scott at RAK Studios, London.
Preempting the full length release, never-before-seen 1972 and 1973 footage from the Ziggy Stardust UK tour shot by late Bowie collaborator & photographer Mick Rock has been revealed, featuring the album version of “Starman” as its soundtrack.
In a statement about the new Dolby Atmos mix, the album’s co-producer, Ken Scott stated:
“You’re in there with the act, with David. He was so theatrical I think being able to put him into an immersive place makes this a really good choice for an Atmos mix. My whole philosophy with this has been to make it more like a live experience. And I’ve even got him moving about the stage a little towards the end, the way he would have in real life. Hopefully it just feels as if you’re in the theatre with this amazing show going on.”
The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars was the breakthrough LP that launched Bowie into the international spotlight and throughout the past five decades it has remained a touchstone record, growing in popularity with each passing year.
While David Bowie laid the Ziggy Stardust persona to rest in July 1973 at his infamous last show with the Spiders From Mars at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, Ziggy’s impact resonates to this day.
