FYI Pink Floyd


I just tripped across this release this AM, so SIAP:

Per Bloomberg News, Pink Floyd to issue a new release later this year.

BTW, the new double-LP Division Bell sounds fantastic and easily surpasses the original blue vinyl.
Had the pleasure of meeting Nick Mason and had a quick chat about cars. Also met Roger several times.

The new album is mostly instrumental.

The Division Bell box set is said to one of the best sounding recordings. My box set will arrive this week.
I've found that the hype surrounding the latest remastering of "The Division Bell" to be somewhat misplaced. There's no doubt it's superior to the original US (blue) version. Comparing it to my best sounding PF lps, it lacks the openness, the dynamics, and the transient response of those lps, I suppose since this is Doug Sax & James Guthrie's (two very respectable tecnicians) second try at it, that the original recording just isn't up to the highest standards of the best sounding PF lps.

Having said this, I can now enjoy listening to this fine effort.
