‘Origin of Symmetry’, the second album for Muse, was released on 18 June 2001. ‘For 2021 to mark the 20th anniversary, Muse have released ‘XX Anniversary remiXX’.
The digital version of the 20th anniversary album was released on 18 June. It will be available on vinyl om 9 July.
The new edition is a collaboration with Rich Costey, who joined the Muse production team for the next album ‘Absolution’ in 2003’. He was also still there for ‘Simulation Theory’ in 2018. Costey has also worked with Death Cab For Cutie, Biffy Clyro, Kimbra, Of Monsters and Men and Birdy.
Muse describe the new mix as “more open, dynamic and less crushed sound”.
Matt Bellamy said “In revisiting the album what we found was the original mixes on the singles, like ‘Plug In Baby’ and ‘Bliss’, were pretty good so they were the hardest ones to improve. It was the deeper album tracks like ‘Micro Cuts’ where we were able to make massive breakthroughs.”
An additional track ‘Futurism’ has been added to the tracklisting.
