Pink Floyd


I see that all/most of Pink Floyds catalog is being re-mastered and scheduled for release later this year. Any news or insights?

James Guthrie begun his career working with Greg Walsh (Tina Turner etc) at Mayfair Studios London. James Guthrie now has his own studio called Das Boot in Lake Tahoe and he uses ATC's (like David Gilmour). Pretty much all the remasters of Pink Floyd (like the SACD stuff) and newer solo related stuff (such as "On an Island" etc) were all done on ATC's. Greg Walsh was one of the early users of ATC along with Hugh Padgham (Police, Peter Gabriel, Phil Colins etc.) A large portion of UK music made in the 80's was done on ATC's whilst the USA were still using horns. Nowadays both sides of the pond have many ATC users.

I believe James Guthrie uses EMM Labs DAC's and preamps

So nothing new about James association with Pink Floyd - so you can expect more of the same.
Just another quick historical note - Alan Parsons is the one responsible for the sound behind the original masterpiece DSOTM. Alan still uses B&W speakers, as far as I know, and swears by them.
Samuel,

Possibly, though Alan Parsons has produced some other really good sounding stuff - so it is hard to believe he did not play a significant role. It wasn't until "The Wall" that James Guthrie became directly involved with PF.
