Light My Fire Again: The Doors Get the Dolby Atmos Treatment

The Doors have always been my favorite band, without question. The moment I picked up No One Here Gets Out Alive, I was completely hooked. Their music pulled me in with a mysterious mix of poetry, rock, and rebellion. Since then, I have collected every version of their albums, from vinyl treasures to digital remasters. Now, this latest release feels like a reward for fans who have followed them through the years.

To mark their 60th anniversary, The Doors – Immersed 1967–1971 arrives on October 24 with Dolby Atmos mixes of all six of their studio albums on Blu-ray for the very first time. Available exclusively through The Doors’ website and Rhino Records, the collection includes Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround, and high-resolution stereo (192/24) versions. It is a dream come true for anyone who wants to experience The Doors as if they were right there in the studio.

Each disc comes in a mini-jacket that recreates the original album artwork, making it a beautiful collector’s piece. Longtime engineer Bruce Botnick, who helped shape the band’s original sound, handled the immersive mixes. He explained, “With Atmos, having loudspeakers on the ceiling allows ‘Riders on the Storm’ to come alive with rain and thunder, and on ‘Horse Latitudes,’ it highlights the theatrical claustrophobia of Jim’s poetry.”

From 1967 to 1971, these albums tell the story of The Doors’ creative rise from the hypnotic debut that gave us Light My Fire to the soulful grit of L.A. Woman. In just five short years, the band redefined rock with its poetic edge and fearless experimentation. Decades later, their sound still feels alive, dangerous, and unforgettable.

Albums Included:

• The Doors (1967)
• Strange Days (1967)
• Waiting for the Sun (1968)
• The Soft Parade (1969)
• Morrison Hotel (1970)
• L.A. Woman (1971)

This release is more than a reissue; it is a rebirth. Turn off the lights, turn up the sound, and let The Doors take you back to where rock became art.
