DWEEZIL ZAPPA Discusses Remixing DEEP PURPLE's Machine Head Album - "You Have A Chance To Hear Some Things That Maybe You Didn't Know Existed, That Was The Whole Goal"; Video
March 20, 2024, 8 months ago
Warner Records and Rhino Entertainment honour Deep Purple's Machine Head, the album which featured “Smoke On The Water”, with a comprehensive version introducing new mixes and previously unreleased live recordings. Machine Head: Super Deluxe Edition will be available on March 29 as a 3CD/LP/Blu-ray and available digitally for streaming and download.
In the new video below, radio host and MTV legend Matt Pinfield joins Dweezil Zappa in his Hikari Studios in Los Angeles to discuss Dweezil's approach to re-mixing Machine Head for the new Super Deluxe Edition. Hear Dweezil illuminate his process to remixing from the original multis both for stereo and for Dolby Atmos Immersive Sound, and what he hopes you'll hear in the new mixes.
In addition to the newly-remixed original album, which is included on LP and CD, The Super Deluxe Edition also contains two captivating live performances. The first, recorded on March 9, 1972, at the Paris Theatre in London, captures the group’s unrivalled stage presence during the Machine Head Tour. The second, previously unreleased, was recorded in April 1971 at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, before the events depicted in “Smoke On The Water.”
