Pink Floyd - Division Bell announcement 5.1 ? Possible release ?

[DennisMoore Jr.]

A nice find indeed. I'm also not worried about the lack of center channel usage as that was never a high priority in the other Pink Floyd 5.1 mixes either.

Actually, I'm not one who worships the center channel vocal.... and mixing it "dead center" like Jakko did on ELP - BSS 5.1, ruins it!

Its all about the pan! People seem to think that 5.1 mixing means assigning an instrument to a specific speaker. Hardly. All mixing; 2.0 or 5.1 has always used panning to various degrees. Thats why a quad mix can sound lovely without any center speaker.

Example for vocals, the mixer could choose to go 60-40 for the vocals in the main fronts and like 20-10 in the rears and we'll get a rich slightly off center vocal.

Steven Wilson loves to mix vocals in the center. Good for him. There are many ways to have a great mix without doing that. And one must always put some of that vocal in the other channels or it will sound too local & dry.

As far as the format of the DVD. I don't worry about that crap anymore. We've said our peace on lossless. The labels do what they want anyway.

All I know is that I pre-ordered the single disc from PF and when it gets to my house I will blast it!

While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me in DTS 5.1
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

...
I knew the waiting had begun

It appears that the PF store has started shipping the box sets.

So is Amazon.de.

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

The ringing of the division bell had begun

The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

The album is included as an audio-only PCM stereo mix (48 khz) mastered by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Doug Sax. There's also the 5.1 audio mix, previously unreleased, mixed and mastered by Andy Jackson and Damon Iddins - this is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1. Finally, the 2014 film for Marooned, directed by Aubrey "Po" Powell, is on the DVD, with a PCM stereo, or Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 surround mix.
The disc itself features a background of one of the paintings seen in the Marooned video.

What I can't understand is why the DVD isn't included in the "Division Bell" set, considering how expensive the box is.
With that being said, I'm still going to get the full set as I want to experience the album in its highest resolution.
I'm sure it will be worth it. (I hope…)

I understand what you are saying and considering the past box sets you certainly have a good point. I'm just glad there is an alternative for others(like me) that don't want to purchase the vinyl +extras. Division Bell isn't one of my PF favorites BUT maybe this new mix might entice me to get the collection just to get the blu ray. Or MAYBE somebody out there isn't interested in the blu ray and I would be more than happy to buy it from them. If so they could PM me, just saying.

I love the picture; I see similar views at the Space Station

I got the same email; that's just the term they use as most here know it has been delayed. Most sites use the same terminology.

Cool picture, but I don't see why they didn't use one of the many variations of the 2 heads that Hypnosis had created to tie it closer to the original.

BTW, I just found out that this surround mix was done 10 years ago.

I receiver the same message today, but this was anticipated in a previous message where they announced the delay: "...Due to delays in manufacturing, this item will be arriving later than initially planned. You will be receiving an automated e-mail telling you that this item has been back-ordered. There is no need to take any action on this and your order will not be affected in any way other than the DVD will simply be shipping later.".

I'm eagerly waiting for this release as it's one of my fave PF albums. I'm not going for the box set as I don't like vinyls but I would love to have the hidef bluray... sad, very sad.

Cheers!
