2025
Steven Wilson’s 2025 remix of Made In Japan brings new life to one of the greatest live albums in rock history. Where the original mix often felt raw and chaotic, this re-imagining sharpens the focus without losing the band’s volcanic energy. Ian Gillan’s vocals soar with piercing clarity, Jon Lord’s Hammond organ snarls with more grit than ever, and Ian Paice’s drumming finally gets the punch it always deserved. Ritchie Blackmore’s guitar cuts through the mix like a blade, alternating between ferocity and finesse, while Roger Glover’s bass sits heavier in the low end, anchoring the madness.
The Osaka and Tokyo performances remain as jaw-dropping as ever, particularly the epic “Space Truckin’,” which clocks in at nearly twenty minutes of controlled chaos. For purists, the original mix may still hold a certain nostalgic weight, but Wilson’s remix makes these shows sound like they’re happening right in front of you.
This 2LP version distills the essence of the 1972 concerts into seven sprawling tracks, proving once again why Made In Japan is not just Deep Purple’s definitive live statement, but one of the most electrifying documents in all of rock.
