    Re: Any pink floyd fans here?

    Late reply to this thread, but then I am new round here!

    I love all the Floyd stuff and would find it difficult to name my one favourite song as different moods require different albums.

    As a slight digression, it is a huge personal disappointment to realise that I will never see the whole band play live (too young!) although I did drag the family to see Roger Waters do The Wall last year (8yo daughter loved it). I have also seen the Aussie Floyd play a few times and they always put on a great show. Any other Floyd fans seen the Aussies? What's your opinion of them?

    Re: Any pink floyd fans here?

    I bought the vinyl of Atom Heart Mother when it first came out. Love that track, also Echoes from Meddle. Not so keen on The Wall, Final Cut or Animals, but the rest are pretty high on my favourites list. As for the early stuff, I find it more "interesting" than musical if you follow me
    Cheers, David

    Me - I saw the first live performance of Atom Heart Mother at the Bath (Shepton Mallet) rock festival 1970
    and Pulse DVD on a big 7.1 sound system is great !

    Re: Any pink floyd fans here?

    I never replaced my Pink Floyd CD's after I was burgled late 90's bar Division Bell which is actually my favourite album of theirs, I do need to get another copy of The Wall though.

    My favourite track by them is Take it Back, the way it starts and builds as it is playing is awesome.

    This track also kind of reminds me of the band Big Country

    This song needs a link! :

    If you like the surround mix you may want to do a "search" for DSotM "4.0 mix" or "4.1 mix" on t'interweb...

    The original mix of DSotM was done by Alan Parsons and EMI commissioned a quadrophonic version by Parsons but never released it or endorsed it. Years later when the remastered version was done the band got their current engineer James Guthrie to produce a completely new 5.1 surround mix without any consultation with Parsons. You may say why would it matter, but Parsons was responsible for large parts of the iconic sound on DSotM pushing the boundaries at the time. Interestingly shortly after the release of the remastered version with the 5.1 surround mix a 4.0 quadrophonic mix "turned up" on the Internet as a DVD image at full 96KHz quality.

    Parsons has since said that he prefers the new mix by Guthrie to his original quad mix, although he did criticise the 5.1 version for being more of an expansion of the stereo version, whereas his quad version was unique using elements not in the stereo mix.

    Might be worth searching it out

    My favourite has always been Wish You Were Here. I have it on a 24 carat Mastersound CD from the early 90's - where they got the original engineer to mix it again from the session tapes and produced all the discs from the stage 1 master using 20 bit SuperBitMapping. In other words it's gold and very shiny

    the quad version of DSOTM was only recently reissued as part of the immersion set, with the 4.0, 5.1 and 2.0 versions of the album all on a single dvd, and again on the bluray, there is also an early mix of the full album that's quite different to the final version, and some other outtakes and a live performance of the album
