So it essentially sounds like all those Grateful Dead "radio broadcasts" that Amazon still allows on their site.

Well, this is kinda unusual, in that Burning Shed wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they got sued into atoms by Tony Smith or Roger Waters' people. Seems very risky, I know PF did the copyright dump recently with loads of sub-par boots, what's odd is, they're all still up on streaming sites, I thought the point was you took them down after a week or so?

Oh yeah, I'm definitely surprised that Burning Shed would distribute this one!

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times, to put Deep Purple first and Bonzo Dog Band last.

So this Animals remix/5.1 set is finally coming out in mid-September with no frills. Why they remixed it I've no idea, it sounds just fine.

Not sure why I just listened to that on a Friday afternoon while staring at spreadsheets, but it sounds great!

This mix is not too different, I missed some of the organ in the early verses and felt the drums were pulled up a little high. Shame there won't be any outtakes or early versions on this release.

I'd read that when Steven Wilson started doing his 5.1 mixes of various classic old records he would supply a stereo fold-down of the 5.1 mix purely as a reference, but the record companies started including them in the packages.
So it became a thing from there on, and I feel like this mix is kinda the same. The real draw being Guthrie's surround version and the stereo mix is a byproduct of that, it's nice to have and it sounds a little wider and deeper than the original but not vastly different.
Nobody frothing at the mouth on Yeeshkul so far, I haven't checked Hoffman, can't help but wonder if PF had fibbed and said it was just a remaster, ppl would be universally positive instead of the usual grousing over details.

sound a little cleaner like these things always do but it's not like animals was particularly in need of this or anything
some of the little differences like the organ being a little lower in the mix are for the worse but it's not a huge change

This is kinda interesting, some guy with a blog called 'Professor Stoned' uses extraction software to kinda rebuild mixes of old 60s/70s records, I usually keep clear of things like this but I listened to his version of Piper after reading good things about it on Yeeshkul and it's a good listen, I like how he's resisted the temptation to glue the new mixes completely together and has kept some of that period separation.

idk i'm still disappointed. i mean i wouldn't be _surprised_ if he went full-on anti-semite either, but it'd break my heart a little.
is this that fucker greenwald's fault? like with the snowden thing we were talking in the other thread? goddamn it, roger, if it's the only way to get you to stop being such an asshole, i guess we can go with it. i mean comfortably numb _is_ the best song about dissociation ever written (me, age 17: "why do i relate to this so much? i'm not an arena rock star taking powerful tranquilizers")

he saw people saying "pink floyd rules" and he thought we meant autocratically
Speaking of Waters, I noticed recently that fittingly, "Take Up Thy Stethascope & Walk" is the only song on Piper at the Gates of Dawn which doesn't have it's own wikipedia page.

I believe that's giving Greenwald too much credit. You could make an equally compelling argument that Waters now is what happens when someone stays in psychoanalysis too long (iirc Waters said that he's been going to psychoanalysis for 20+ years). I think he sees himself quite literally as a Freudian-Marxist ubermensch - someone who's channelled their own alienation into a belief that their alienation speaks for everyone else who is alienated. There are multiple academic papers that look at The Wall through the filters of Freud, Jung, and Oedipus - a viewpoint I suppose could be useful if someone wants to deconstruct how Roger spent the last forty years getting from there to here.
OTOH, you could save yourself a lot of discourse and just chalk it up to someone who has channeled their persecution complex and siege mentality into a net worth of $310 million. Who else but Roger would have the total narcissistic belief that an open letter to Putin would stop the war?
