Zappa - Apostrophe (50th anniversary set out in Sept!)

[~dave~~wave~]

New video up today from Vaultmeister Joe Travers interviewing Ahmet about his personal relationship with the album and the production of the deluxe box.

At ~ 7:40, his comments about the Atmos mix:

"Hearing the Atmos mix was a real eye opener and an ear opener, because you hear things that really give you a whole perspective.

So if you have the opportunity to listen in an Atmos room, which is very different from hearing an Atmos mix [on] earbuds or headphones or something Atmos capable... I mean that's a great experience, too, but when you can actually be in the room, that's pretty incredible.

Spatial audio, it's something special for the music world, and I hope more people embrace it.
Certainly this record, because a lot of time & love & energy went into it, and it's really killer, couldn't be more proud of it."

Thought some of you might be interested in this conversation I had on my youtube channel !



Along the way we discuss DISC 1 of the new boxed set - which contains the new 2024 Bernie Grundman master of the "Apostrophe (')" album as well as a few extras. We also talk about our personal histories with the material, our opinion on the new 2024 master, a detailed track-by-track breakdown of the album, and a summary of the Disc 1 extras.

Some buds of mine got together and recorded a long chat about this box and its historical context. It was a long video so we cut it up and plan to release one section at a time. Here's part two which covers the Colorado Springs CO show (discs 2-3).
