Not Obscured By Clouds, only Meddle. And it would be nice if they got officially released maybe with new Atmos mixes by Andy JacksonDidn't they already get released as Easter eggs in one of the blu rays?

To be fair the CD liner notes say it is written by Roger Waters and performed by Pink Floyd, there's no claim anyone but Waters had creative input.Gilmour was essentially a session musician on The Final Cut (no creative input) and Mason was mostly just mixing it. It's lyrically interesting and well done, but musically pretty uninspiring to me. Leftover tracks from an album that was already bloated. And I will always consider it a Waters solo album.
It is what I think is the finest album of a rock band with orchestra ever made. It is so well recorded and the Holophonics elements in the mix are so well done that it sounds like it is a 5.1 mix. So in that way is almost needs no surround mix, four speakers will show off plenty of spaciousness. It was included in my very first batch of CDs bought in late 1984. It didn't cause a bust up, the band had been splintering for quite a while before, like years. Imo, it's the crowning masterpiece of the Waters era of the band. And over the decades it had racked up massive sales for the band, so sales wise it's also actually a success.Personally speaking The Final Cut is my favourite Floyd/Waters album and a 5.1 mix would be my absolute dream. I've never understood why so many people don't like it. For me it's a Tour de Force of songwriting genius and it's anti war to boot, apart from the bust up it caused, what's not to like.
Gilmour's lead guitar solos are pretty spectacularly killer. I think he takes three of them.To be fair the CD liner notes say it is written by Roger Waters and performed by Pink Floyd, there's no claim anyone but Waters had creative input.
It's also the one album that doesn't seem to have received much care outside of a remaster. I get that it's basically a Roger Waters solo effort, but it's still a solid record. Animals finally getting the attention it deserved only highlights how little attention The Final Cut has received. Hell, early Animals tracks appeared on some of the box sets for other albums, but nothing of The Finsl Cut. Maybe that's up to Waters entirely since the others all but washed their hands of it when it was done.Personally speaking The Final Cut is my favourite Floyd/Waters album and a 5.1 mix would be my absolute dream.

I'm a big fan of The Final Cut! I think Roger's voice on it is probably his best vocal performance!It's also the one album that doesn't seem to have received much care outside of a remaster.

I hope we do get The Wall in Atmos. It a brilliant record with so much extra-musical activity that it just screams for an immersive experience.

I don't think so! (at least for Meddle)Didn't they already get released as Easter eggs in one of the blu rays?
Unfortunately they could easily do an animals again and release the 5.1 first then the atmos a year latter.Well, when/if The Wall is finally released, it should be an Atmos mix. But, I’ll settle for a 5.1 mix for sure.
How comes they wanted to remove it?I don't think so! (at least for Meddle)
It was on the Early Years box set BluRay only because I think it was too late to "easily" remove it from the pressing master (or whatever it's called) so the quick and dirty way to "remove" it from that disc was to just remove it from the menus... (so I'd argue not an "intentional" "Easter Egg"TBH...!)
I bought the follow up single BluRay in the hope it would also still be there, but it wasn't, so I had to "acquire" a copy elsewhere...
Waters didn't sign off the mix, usual Floyd rubbish.How comes they wanted to remove it?
