Def Leppard - Drastic Symphonies (BDA w/Atmos)

[GOS]

The new album Drastic Symphonies will see Def Leppard’s biggest songs deconstructed and rebuilt with the majestic accompaniment of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Due for release on May 19, the album represents a bold new approach to the band’s most loved songs.

For the large part, the album features the original audio of Leppard classics, newly combined with the RPO, but Drastic Symphonies also includes new vocals and guitars to create epic new symphonic arrangements. At different stages of the record, listeners will hear frontman Joe Elliott duetting with his younger self.

The album will be available on CD, 2LP black vinyl, limited edition 2LP colored vinyl, limited 2LP picture disc, CD/Blu-Ray (Atmos), and digitally. The first track from the project, “Animal,” is available now.

So, the odd thing is (isn't there almost always confusion/doubt when there is talk of a surround mix on a disc)...

There is a link to pre-order, but NONE of the sites are showing the CD/BDA with Atmos version. Only Vinyl and CD versions.

Interesting notes from @PaulatSDE:

"...I’m hoping to add Steven Wilson’s Atmos Mix of Diamond Star Halos to the SDE-exclusive blu-ray schedule later this year..."

The Atmos Mix is by Richard Whittaker.

Def Leppard have reached that point in their career, when sticking out an album of er "reinterpreted self cover versions" is seen as an option. I look forward to the Christmas album and "Def Leppard Do Broadway Show Tunes" - although hearing them sing the Annie tune "Tomorrow" in the style of "Animal" might actually be a laugh

 

[Klaus Rosenthal]

What a strange idea, old vocals layered on a new orchestral recording. £20.00/$24 if you buy from SDE and you get an early notification if/when Diamond Star Halos joins the surround series.

Great that Def have used Snow Patrol to promote this release....

Nope, I decided I like my Rock Bands to stay Rock Bands, I don't like Symphony Rock Bands, I tired it but never got me high enough.

Apparently Def Lepp felt the need to up the ante on the Scorps; don't know if it was 'Glorious', but it's practically unobtanium!

I always fondly remember this album which I think worked quite well with the addition of a symphony orchestra

Ordered blu ray/cd from SDE -- frankly, I think the whole concept is a bit humorous, but that's just me!

Not sure about this one, I may jump in but i would like to at least hear a sample of this orchestra collaboration before shelling out the $$.
