Pink Floyd - "Animals" 5.1 Surround Sound Mix (Blu-Ray & SACD editions out in September 2022!)

[Robert van Diggele]

What's the difference (besides format) between the two in this 2022 release?

the bda also has the 1977 stereo mix. (2011 remaster)

And, not sure if it's clear that the SACD has the same 16 page booklet that the BDA has.

I do wonder if we would think so poorly of the Guthrie DSotM if we never had an opportunity to compare it with the excellent Parsons quad mix. He's due some credit. Guthrie did manage to get better sonics out of it.

Yes, that is why I am stating that Guthrie is probably capable of a GREAT DISCRETE MCH MIX, as most engineers are; hell, RChycki has done some REALLY great discrete mixes but, hey, if the bosses want a certain kind of mix, you HAVE yo do as they say...but I do not think that RW/Gilmour would have changed their minds, but WE HOPE they have!!!!

Not necessarily in this case, I think Guthrie's 5.1 mixes of DSOTM and WYWH were done natively in DSD (using Sony's Sonoma monitoring system) and converted to PCM later for the Blu-Ray releases.

Is the ultrasonic block of noise exclusive to DSD64 present in the spectogram of the Blu-ray PCM release?

Hell must have frozen over while I was asleep last night.

Exactly!

it's surround that I want after all.

I did not know that. Go figure.

A nice touch would be to add it as .jpgs!

I literally can’t believe it. I thought for sure we would have to shell out $100 for a box set full of tat in order to get the physical release of the surround mix.

I hope The Who are taking notes

Only for Golden Ears

Bull Moose $19.97

It says DVD, but it is the same UPC number that Import CDs has for the blu-ray.

The reason asking is that it's a surefire way to tell a DSD to PCM conversion.

I can't get that link to work. Takes me elsewhere. I tried searching myself, and couldn't locate it.

Simply amazing news, what a great way to kick off the long weekend

I’m really happy with Guthrie’s 5.1 DSOTM so I think I’ll be ecstatic with this standalone BD~A.

Now if they just follow this up with the Wall (5.1 mix of the original album with a new 4K scan of the movie) and release that 5.1 mix of Obscured by Clouds I’d call the PF surround catalog completed for me, don’t really care for the Syd Barrett stuff much at all.

I’d even take a 5.1 of The Final Cut, next year is the 40th anniversary…

Not sure what happened there, but I just edited my link. Refresh the page and it should work now.

Just ordered. 22 Queen Heads for the standard Blu-ray, hopefully a bit of quality control this time round.

 

[Drlbizzle]

Ordered the box set this morning not expecting there to be a stand alone blu-ray.

Incredibly happy there is. Box set canceled, stand alone ordered.

An SACD cant carry any video.

 

[LuvMyQuad]

Did I read it right? The standalones go on sale before the deluxe set? Seems odd.

I love PF but hate the The Final Cut, if it was in 5.1 and someone offered it to me for free i’d very politely decline
