Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 50th Anniversary Atmos mix in 2023! (Standalone BD coming in October!)

[kap'n krunch]

I respectfully disagree, I am a big fan of robust tops, his Genelecs are too small for my taste. Thus the mixes lack balls overhead.

TBS I do absolutely love his 5.1 mixes, probably my Fav because of the YES and his epic panarounds, his Atmos mixing skills overhead though are lacking big time.

Maybe its the Toy ovehead Genelecs in his studio, they should be upsized.. He needs to start dropping more the Hippopotamus.

Methinks it would be the OTHER way around...
if the Genelecs supposedly don't have enough bass, the Heights would be BALLSIER to compensate...those Genelecs will fool you, they seem small but they are really BALLSY...but that's just me...

Agreed! If properly configured with the matching sub, they sound amazing.

Maybe a mix done in 2016 that's been held back !
(They've been flogging the 2003 mix for nearly 20 years)

The 2003 mix 20th anniversary edition!

I have the standard LP stereo album, the 5.1 SACD (stained glass cover)

I'm probably just having a senior moment here but what does the (stained glass cover)" look like?
TIA

I’ve had the Wish immersion box for a few years now but just today I finally pulled the trigger on the Dark Side box for a price I could stomach.

I’ve got the SACD so I’m just getting it for the quad mainly, but the early mix from 72 also intrigues me and will be nice to have!

The live tracks are cool - tho not as radically different as the Wish box.

Perfect if you've grown a bit saturated with the final album. The differences are like a game of "spot the differences". Different sample here, more reverb there? What was that?

According to the fan site Brain Damage a 50th anniversary book will be published in March:


"March 2023 sees the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd, and as part of the anniversary celebrations, an official 216 page hardback book is being published on 1st March to commemorate the band and the album.

The album-sized (12" x 12") package features rare and unseen backstage and onstage photography of the band during the album tours of 1972 to 1975. 129 candid black-and-white photographs by Storm Thorgerson, Jill Furmanovsky, Aubrey Powell, Storm Thorgerson and Peter Christopherson document the soundchecks, the shows and the after shows. A review of the October 1972 Wembley gig, originally published in Melody Maker, provides insight into one of the Floyd’s most celebrated performances, and there is a complete listing of the tour dates.

The second part explores in 65 colour images how the original prism motif by Hipgnosis and StormStudios evolved into an array of graphics and homages to the world's great artists, some of which went on to grace further projects of the band. Co-founder of StormStudios, Peter Curzon, recalls the details of each brief and the development of the graphics over a 50-year period.

At this stage, there is no indication of what the cover looks like, and as we get more information, including the cover, we will update this page."


I certainly hope that's not the only thing the band is doing to celebrate Dark Side's 50th!

Rumor has it that the live DSOTM recording from the Wembly show will be released on cd. Not sure if the rest of the show will be released with it or not. Just a rumor.

The version of the rumour I've heard is that it's the full show and that it will also be on vinyl (so far, it's only been on CD officially).

At some point in the future ( maybe 100 year anniversary? ) I can see them flying people up to the moon to premiere this album, ON the dark side of the moon.

 

[Sal1950]

ON the dark side of the moon.

There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact it's all dark.

 

[LuvMyQuad]

There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact it's all dark.

Is there a site somewhere that gives all of the dialog from DSOTM? There are a few phrases that I'm not sure of.

I don’t know if this is complete or not but it’s really interesting.

Well, there is a dark side. It just moves around.

Well, there is a dark side. It just moves around.

... and its always the Far Side

"It was the blackout of 1965 and while this record was playing the turntables were slowing down, at first Dan Ingram couldn't figure it out"

In spanish we call it "the hidden side of the moon". That would be more technically correct.

Sorry, nothing to do with Pink Floyd album
