David Bowie: for the first time in Dolby Atmos

David Bowie: for the first time in Dolby Atmos

ByJohn

The first Dolby Atmos spatial audio version of David Bowie’s “The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars” makes its Dolby Atmos spatial audio debut. The new mix of the album will be available on Blu-Ray Audio and streaming services on September 6.

The Blu-Ray audio disc contains four versions of Bowie’s 1972 album: 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 in London.

Of this new Dolby Atmos mix, the album’s co-producer, Ken Scott, says:

You’re right there with the show, with David. It was so theatrical that I think the fact that you can put it in an immersive space makes it a really good choice for an Atmos mix. My whole philosophy with this was to make it more of a live experience. And I even had him move around the stage a little bit towards the end, like he would have done in real life. I hope you feel like you’re in the theater with this amazing show going on.

“The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars” is the album that catapulted David Bowie into the international spotlight. It has remained a seminal, timeless record for the past 50 years, casting its influence on musicians from Arcade Fire to Lady Gaga, from Harry Styles’ androgynous fashion sense to Noel Fielding’s T-shirts in The Great British Bake-Off to Ziggy’s Tik-Tok makeup challenges.

David Bowie soon buried the Ziggy Stardust character in July 1973 during his infamous final show with the Spiders From Mars at London’s Hammersmith Odeon (Read here), but Ziggy’s impact is still powerful today.
