PINK FLOYD

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.

i mean it just sounds like "dogs"

as god as my witness, i thought pigs could fly

"Givin' it all I got"

You can tell that it's really Animals on the turntable in that clip, you can see the custom label.

obsessed with have a cigar lately can't stop listening to it
that bass ffs

Hoffman thread up to 41 pages - staying away.

(serious controversy over which pressing sounds "best" begins on page 34. the Zapruder film is also mentioned)

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

What a nice gesture to acknowledge the smoke being blown up his arse.

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.

I don’t know if I’m in a particular PF mood today so the 2018 remix of Animals came out of heaven, but it sounds amazing!

roger waters has gone full tankie eh?

Not surprised at all.

yeah that’s always been on the cards

He found another way not to RULE.

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.

Not really surprising. I've always been a bit PINK FLOYD RULES... IN SPITE OF ROGER WATERS tbh.

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?

"You won't catch me speaking on propaganda channels like MSNBC, Fox or anything else in between" says Waters in an interview on China state propaganda channel CGTN.

China does have a "Great Wall"...

xp LMAO...but also pretty fucking sad.

it is extremely funny to me that David Gilmour now very much resembles the guy known online as "Hide the Pain Harold"

Anyway, Nick Mason's Saucerful band is touring the states right now. Totally RULES despite the quorum of tone dad Hawaiian shirts on stage.

idk it's kind of standard boomer mentality ("boomer" here referring to mindset and not chronological age, waters is too old to be a boomer proper)

Dark Side of the Moon RULES

You know, maybe Syd did do too much acid.

Fun fact I learned from Andrew Hickey’s A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs podcast: the dog barking in the Small Faces’ “The Universal” is the same dog barking on Floyd’s “Seamus.”

The best A.I. generated music video I've seen so far, because it's not just one image per lyric, it's a continuous animation, any frame of which could be the cover of a 1970 sci-fi paperback.

Now if only they could run the file through something to clean up all the jpeg or YouTube compression artifacts.

Also the same dog who says "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time."

Then asked for too much money and cover credit, and was replaced for "Dogs".

"Goodbye Blue Sky" showed up in an episode of Rick and Morty, and it occurred to me that I don't come across Pink Floyd songs that often in pop culture. I think a couple have showed up in Marvel movies recently. Didn't they sell their catalog recently? Or was that delayed?
