📰 Roxy Music’s Flesh + Blood Reborn in Dolby Atmos for 2026 SDE Blu‑ray

Roxy Music’s sleek, sophisticated 1980 album Flesh + Blood is stepping into a new dimension. A brand‑new Dolby Atmos mix by Bob Clearmountain — created in collaboration with original co‑producer Rhett Davies — headlines an exclusive SDE Surround Series Blu‑ray release arriving 19 June 2026.

The immersive Atmos version gives the band’s seventh studio album a fresh sense of space and clarity, elevating hits like “Over You,” “Oh Yeah,” and “Same Old Scene” into a full 360‑degree sound world. The release also includes a 5.1 mix, a hi‑res 48/24 stereo remaster, and — for the first time — a full instrumental Atmos version of the album.

⭐ A Landmark Album, Reimagined

Originally released in May 1980, Flesh + Blood was a major commercial success, spending 60 weeks on the UK charts and hitting No. 1. Its polished, romantic sound marked Roxy Music’s evolution from glam‑rock innovators into the architects of what would later be called sophisti‑pop.

The new Atmos mix brings out the album’s lush textures — from the shimmering synths of “Same Old Scene” to the velvet‑smooth harmonies of “Oh Yeah.” Clearmountain’s approach preserves the album’s elegance while giving it a modern cinematic sweep.

⭐ What’s on the Blu‑ray

The SDE exclusive disc includes:

2026 Dolby Atmos Mix (48/24)

2026 Dolby Atmos Instrumental Mix (48/24)

2026 5.1 Surround Mix (48/24)

1980 Original Stereo Mix — 2026 Remaster (48/24)

All audio is delivered in Dolby TrueHD Atmos, offering up to 10× the bitrate of streaming Atmos versions — a major upgrade for audiophiles.

The Blu‑ray comes in the SDE hardcover mediabook format, matching previous releases like Avalon, and includes a collectible slipcase.

⭐ Why This Matters

Roxy Music’s catalogue has been gradually entering the immersive‑audio era, and Flesh + Blood is one of the albums that benefits most from the format. Its sleek production, layered arrangements, and rhythmic sophistication were always built for space — even before Atmos existed.

This release also continues the band’s ongoing archival renaissance, following the 50th‑anniversary celebrations and the renewed interest in their influence on modern pop, art‑rock, and electronic music.
