HiRez Poll Pink Floyd - The Division Bell [BluRay Audio]

[Spinz]

I just snagged a copy. Acoustic Sounds has limited stock of the box set containing the 5.1 on Blu-ray. I was a huge Floyd fan as a teenager in the early to mid-80s, but had lost interest in the band by the time this album came out. This is the only Pink Floyd studio album I've never listened to. I don't recall ever hearing any songs from it. Can't wait to crank it up!

I also had lost interest in Pink Floyd by the time this came out. Don't believe I even heard any cuts on the radio or MTV. Was very surprised how good the songs were when I bought the boxed set for the blu-ray in 5.1. Surround mix is great too. I think you'll be very happy with it.

Well, maintaining what tickles me pink theme...this is surely right up there with DSOTM AND WYWH. It just keeps on coming at ya.

You are in for a real treat. Its a great album, the last one with Richard Wright, not counting Endless River, which is basically the out takes from Division Bell anyway. I hope at some point they will remix and re-release A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 5.1 hi res as well.

Oh God, me too!! I adore that album.......it holds a special place for me....it was released the year I got married...so the wife and I played this one on my new stereo....in our new apartment......WOW! Memories....and, for me...a great album. I can just hear the boat rocking and creaking in the rear channels.

I would buy both Division Bell and Momentary Lapse in 5.1, but I can't justify the price tag for those box sets. I hope they eventually do a SACD release or something comparable.

In addition to the box set, The Division Bell was issued as a stand alone DVD-V with DTS (24/96, I think). It sounded great and was very reasonably priced. You might be able to pick one up cheaply on the used market. A Momentary Lapse of Reason was never released in 5.1.

Yeah. I named my first boat. One Slip

I have Division Bell and I swear I bought it as a standalone disc...for about $13 brand new....some years ago. Didn't I??

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Don't know for sure but, the last I saw the stand alone DVD it was for $100-120, just looked and didn't see any on ebay; but a couple offered here on discogs:

You did, I did too. It was released as a limited edition on the PF website if I recall but very limited quantities.

Yeah, that sounds about right. It came in a little cardboard sleeve.

 

[timothyemerson]

I'll chime in with a memory: I got my Divi Bell DVD from PF's UK website. I missed out on what I'm guessing was the first batch but managed to get one in a second batch. Not sure if there were any subsequent batches. It was pretty cheap too.

They're going for ~$100 now? Crazy. PF could be getting in on some of that sweet money action if they'd only keep their shelves stocked with spinny plastic or WAVs/FLACs.

And, it's so slim and small....I can't seem to find it. But I did rip it...so I have that. Gotta be hiding somewhere in the closet.

I found it!!

Post your review! It'll be really interesting to hear your opinion - you'll be coming to it totally fresh and from the 5.1 perspective too.

I have that cardboard sleeve DVD too. I keep it in the Endless River box

 

[Strilo]

So that DVD is just the 5.1 mix in lossy formats?

Lossy? Yeah......but...ummm.

It sounds spectacular. Well, I think it does.
