Wmcmanus Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 It is a shame that the labels keep neglecting the Syd Barrett albums. Oh well at least we got a proper mono CD of Piper. Syd didn't even know about those albums! Or I should say, he sort of knew, but sort of didn't... it was a little fuzzy to him, which is what makes those albums so durned interestin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchro Belt Drive Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 A good remaster of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" would be very interesting. It's one of my favourite 'weird' albums and a very fun listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 http://achtungbaby.u2.com/ Now you can have Bono's sunglasses to go with that scarf. Sunglasses edition supposed to be ~ $400 or 500. I can't think of a more desperate move than that by the music industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadtonowhere08 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Christ, almost $600 for the "Uber" edition? "That Steven Wilson has NOTHING on us..." Out of curiosity, how much of this is the band's decision, and how much of this is the label? I imagine a band as large as U2 would have at least some say in these things.

MoonShine Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well they're out now, anyone give a listen? I heard some of the "Discovery" edition Animals, Wall & DSM today. Sounded pretty dang good to my 50yr-old-been-to-too-many-concerts-in-my-youth led ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 This excites me much more than any box set ever will http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/77001/Pink_Floyd-Wish_You_Were_Here-Hybrid_Multichannel_SACD I wish AP could do the entire catalog, I'd buy it. But WYWH is my favorite by far, so I'm covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwkn Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I listened to Umagumma and Wish You Were Here today and they're quite good imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Not going to bother seeing if the mastering is better on DSOTM, but the Wembley concert sounds better than any bootleg of that show. It sounds really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnaud Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I haven't followed the re-release of recent years so I literally jumped of my seat when I listened to The Wall (from the discovery box) tonight, after a 10+ year hiatus. Between the remaster and the upgrade in my listening system, I'd say I was rather pleasantly surprised by the sound. It's simply awesome sounding through the 009!

RudeWolf Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm a bit cautious when getting modern remasters of classic records. Most of the time they end up being louder and with a narrow dynamic range. Maybe I'm wrong. I sure hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I was checking this while listening to the wall and while most of my rock albums don't often exceed 25dB of dynamics range, there are plenty of moments on this one in the -40 to -60dB range. I no longer have the original CD version to compare, but I doubt very much any dynamic compression was applied to this remaster, it actually very much sounds like an "old school" mastering job with plenty of dynamics. Having said that, it is maximizing redbook dynamic range with peak levels near 0dB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The 2011 Animals remaster is very good (maybe the best). I will see about posting up some samples of it, Sax remaster and the first pressing Japan CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Got the wish you were here sacd yesterday, dropped everything else to listen to it. Just amazing. Lots of stuff that was never audible now comes thru with clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 SACD or the new BluerayDisc release, Kevin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchro Belt Drive Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'll have to consider a few remasters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
