The series was set in 2018, when a political organization called the United Earth Oceans (UEO) formed in response to the colonization of the deep sea. The deluxe set features eight pages of extensive liner notes from film music journalist Tim Greiving and from the show’s creator Rockne S. Disc one features music from the show’s pilot episode, while Disc two features music from selected episodes from Season One curated by John Debney. The album was remastered by Chas Ferry from the original sources provided by the composer. The original (1995) 14 track album has been expanded to 58 tracks and two CDs. “I think we waited until the world hit a limit of misery with this thing,” Johnson says, “and just said, ‘Right, time to cheer it up.SeaQuest DSV: The Deluxe Edition, was composed and conducted by Emmy winning composer, John Debney ( Elf, The Orville, Iron Man 2, The Jungle Book). “We had so much material.” With the COVID-19 pandemic keeping much of the world on lockdown and just about eliminating live music, AC/DC decided to release POWER UP to tide fans over until the band can safely hit the stage again. “These ideas came from just before we did Black Ice, when me and Malcolm had been in the studio for a long time just writing songs,” Angus reveals. True to AC/DC’s nearly half-century of domination, the album sees the Australian masters in top form, as evidenced by the groove-powered opener “Realize,” the frenetic “Demon Fire,” and anthemic lead single “Shot in the Dark.” Elsewhere, Johnson cowboys up on the western-themed “Wild Reputation” and delivers a classic AC/DC double entendre on the suitably lascivious “Money Shot.”ĭedicated to Malcolm, the record features songs that he and his brother Angus worked on together back in 20.
With Johnson, Rudd, and Williams back in the fold, POWER UP is a massive triumph. “You can’t call an album Rock or Bust and then go bust,” lead guitarist Angus Young says. After a tumultuous period that saw the death of guitarist and co-founder Malcolm Young, the departures of bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd, and the (thought-to-be) career-ending hearing loss of vocalist Brian Johnson, it was widely assumed that 2014’s Rock or Bust would be AC/DC’s swan song. This is the AC/DC album that no one thought would happen.
