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

[César]

Guys and gals, time to let your jaws drop. Roger has said in an interview that Animals in 5.1 is coming, with reworked artwork (new pictures by Po, I'm still wondering what is wrong with the classic cover we all love). No dates though, listen here from 14:30 minutes mark on:
(news first spotted at pinkfloydz.com forum)

W.O.W.
Supposedly on a big-bucks-box-set?

 

[IMachine]

Wow! This IS big news!

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Cool, news, for a cool album requiring additionally cool surround mix .

Hey...thanks Roger (and all involved) . This Pink Floyd fan of many decades loves this offering.

Please keep 'em coming. I for one would love a COMPLETE SURROUND TREATMENT for all Floyd albums...but I'll take what I can get.
I just knew Roger was a surround maven and of course a quad maven, a good man to have around, me thinks.

Sweet! But pleeease a stand alone option next to the obligatory supermassive mega box set.

if Guthrie does it, I won't even bother!...as it is , it decodes fairly decently in DPLII.. (sorry for the threadcrap!)

 

[GOS]

WOW!!!!

Yes!

Does this mean that meddle will get an official release as well eventually though Europe and America may meet again due to tectonic movement before then

Very cool! Thanks for the news! (We need a dancing pig)

I don't think there is any question that it will be a Guthrie mix.

Great news! I figured the conflict over the Early Years box put the kibosh on any future Floyd surround mixes, so it's good to hear that's not the case.

Roger's involvement probably means it will probably be a Guthrie mix though- can't say I'm thrilled with his track record, but maybe he's getting more adventurous.

The real coup would be if they dig up the unreleased Animals quad mix (I would assume done by Brian Humphries for Columbia SQ LP/Q8 Tape release, if it does in fact exist) and throw it in...

My craziest dreams boxset for Animals would include:
- 5.1 mix and quad mix (if it ever was made)
- 77 tour soundboard/s
- Any footage that exists (there seems to be very few indeed)
- Cleaned up extraction tapes
- POTW with Snowy White's solo
All packaged in a couple of Blu-rays inside a box similar to the last couple of David's releases.

Or... the lunatics augmented edition, with The Wall, Animals and The Final Cut in 5.1. I don't think I need any other extras

Atmos with pig oinks floating above! Or at least 6.1 and instructions on how to set up a speaker above your head.

No marbles, but an inflatable pig balloon in the ultra boxset.

+1 for the Atmos

Not sure if wife will let me buy any box with an inflatable item inside

 

[mandrix]

Very good news, indeed. I have personally upmixed Animals to 5.1 many times. To hear the "real thing" as it were, would be absolutely super.
Thanks for the news!

I miss Andy Jackson posting here and no doubt I will miss an Andy Jackson mix of Animals but I still can't help but be excited about Animals in surround! Not getting my hopes up on a great mix but any decent mix is better than nothing.

haha, that would be awesome...so yeah. Bring on the Atmos......

It isn't going to be in Atmos. It will be a 5.1 mix from JG for better or for worse.

Great news. (2018 has been a slow news year so far)
