30 years after it debuted at No. 1 in the UK charts, Seal’s eponymous first album has been remixed in Dolby Atmos at PMC Studio London by producer Trevor Horn, who produced the original album, allowing fans to enjoy this album in an immersive audio format.
To create the Dolby Atmos Music mix of Seal, Trevor Horn and his engineer Tim Weidner spent three days in PMC Studio London, a world class facility that is helping to spread the word about Dolby Atmos mixing among UK-based artists and producers.
“PMC has championed Dolby Atmos for music for more than five years and has built Atmos monitoring systems for many top studios including Capitol in Los Angeles and Dean Street Studio in London,” says PMC’s CEO Jeff Willcocks. “As part of our forward-looking remit we are keen to promote the Atmos format to artists and producers who might not otherwise have considered it. For this reason, we are very happy to make our demo facilities in London, Los Angeles, Nashville and New York available to those who want to push the boundaries.”
Seal signed to Trevor Horn’s label ZTT in 1990, soon after the success of Killer – the No. 1 single he recorded in collaboration with DJ/Producer Adamski. Horn recruited a group of session musicians and the album was recorded in several studios, including the legendary Sarm West in London. Following its release in May 1991, it won Best British Album at the 1992 Brit Awards, while the track Killer, which was re-worked for the album, won Seal an Ivor Novello award for songwriting.
