In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Bruce Dickinson’s third album Skunkworks, BMG Records have released it digitally in a brand new Dolby Atmos version, alongside a Dolby Atmos version of Bruce’s debut solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. These releases follow the critically acclaimed release last year of More Balls To Picasso, the stunning reworking of Bruce Dickinson’s second solo album. Like that record, and the Dolby Atmos version of Bruce’s most recent solo album The Mandrake Project, the new versions of Skunkworks and Tattooed Millionaire have been newly mixed by Brendan Duffey.

Originally produced by Nirvana producer, Jack Endino, it saw Bruce moving into a more experimental and alternative world than his previous solo work, and that of Iron Maiden. Recorded as a band project with a new group of musicians, the album not only channelled elements of grunge but also had progressive and psychedelic influences within it. While fans and critics were divided at the time of its release, it is now considered to be one of Bruce Dickinson’s most intriguing and exciting bodies of work. Bruce says of the new Dolby Atmos version of Skunkworks, “It will blow your socks off. It’s a record of which I’m immensely proud. In fact, as the years go by I grow more and more proud of everything that happened on that record. In many ways, it was a bit advanced for its time because we were bringing in all kinds of influences that other people in metal were scared of. It’s very emotional and quite dark in places.” |
