Muse – Origin Of Symmetry XX Anniversary RemiXX – Vinyl LP Released 09/07/21

Description

Muse celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Origin Of Symmetry by releasing Origin Of Symmetry: XX Anniversary RemiXX on Warner Records. The new edition features remixed and remastered audio plus re-imagined artwork. As the albums anniversary approached, Muse asked the Grammy-winning producer Rich Costey, who has produced or mixed material on almost every subsequent record, to revisit the original recordings. Whereas most remix albums aim to radically rework the material, or to switch to an entirely different genre, the band and Costey wanted to provide a renewed clarity with a more open, dynamic and less crushed sound. This highlights parts and ideas previously buried or muted on the original mixes, like a harpsichord on Micro Cuts and Abbey Road recorded strings on Citizen Erased, Megalomania and Space Dementia. And thats precisely what has been achieved. From the visceral opening riff of New Born to the cinematic melancholy of the closing Megalomania via the staggering scope of fan favourite Citizen Erased, the remix unveils every facet of the albums intricate production alongside a new-found warmth. It further benefits from mastering courtesy of Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios.
