New Pink Floyd reissues possibly with surround...

[konoyaro]

Kinda doubt these will contain surround SACD discs but it's intriguing nonetheless:

Fascinating. The links to the two DSOTM product releases have unusually high resolution pictures. If you zoom in all the way, you can see that one of the discs in the "The Dark Side Of The Moon - Immersion Box Set" is a DVD and has two "5.1 Surround" mixes, a PCM Stereo mix and two "Quad" mixes. Another disc is a Blu-ray that has two versions of the album, one of which appears to be a "5.1 Surround" mix.

The cheaper, 2-disc "Experience" version does not appear to have more than a second CD of audio extras; the same is true of "Wish You Were Here". The other albums don't have pictures up yet.

Well, there you have it in the description for the Immersion box. Wish You Were Here will have the original quad mix and a Guthrie 5.1 remix.

 

[HOOKEVE]

God exists!

 

[DennisMabry]

Well this is a no brainer for me, I'm in!
This is shaping up to be a great year for surround.


Question; [Quad Mix in high resolution audio at 640 kbps] What is this? DD?

 

[user 1679]

I'm in for WYWH, probably Dark Side as well. I hope that Animals gets the same treatment.

 

[DKA]

If they release WYWH in retail surround, what the hell else will you all have to talk about? Keep em hungry, I say.

(I kid.)

 

[BananaSlug]

Wow! Looking forward to WYWH!!! It's a shame that the quad mix won't be lossless.

[spenceo]

Please, Please, Please, have The Wall in 5.1. I can't think of a better suited album for surround.

Well this is a no brainer for me, I'm in!

Question; [Quad Mix in high resolution audio at 640 kbps] What is this? DD?

Yea, it will be DD like the Pulse DVD set. Luckily I've had no problems playing the 640 kbps on Pulse.

interesting little tidbit on that page...says SACD too?

Pink Floyd and EMI Music, whose association dates from 1967, announce a comprehensive release schedule, to be launched on September 26, 2011, encompassing CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, SACD, an array of digital formats, viral marketing, iPhone Apps and a brand-new single-album ‘Best Of’ collection.

 

[spenceo]

interesting little tidbit on that page...says SACD too?

Yea I seen that. Maybe the CD's will actually be a hybrid SACD. That would be to cool, especially if it had a 5.1 portion.

Here's a question, Do you think the DSOTM Immersion set will have the Alan Parsons quad mix along side of the JG 5.1 mix?? That would be interesting!!

[soundboy]

The official release date of the 5.1 hybrid SACD of "Wish You Were Here" is mentioned in the link....

On 7 November 2011, Phase 2 of the releases will include:

The long-awaited 5.1 version of 'Wish You Were Here,' mixed by James Guthrie, will also be released in parallel via independent label Acoustic Sounds.

 

[Odys]

Who cares about a surround mix, the Immersion boxes come with scarves!

 

[jefe1]

Wow! Great news, at last. More surround to buy.

 

[DKA]

The irony of this all is that they've bled the Pink Floyd well so dry with the repeated reissues that there's probably less hardcore fans that would these, no matter what they included.

I, thus far, paid my penance with buying "Shine On" back in the 90's, as well assorted odds and ends I own, like the WYWH Gold Disc, the ambient remixes, etc.. They've since issued ANOTHER box set of the same stuff since. I'll wait for the feedback for deciding to spend another dime on the same albums again.

 

[peterzach]

As long as they give a option for just the surround I'm in and it looks like they are going to do that if the press release is correct and saying 'Acoustic Sounds' will have the 5.1
I sure hope they don't try to make you buy the whole crap load of stuff to get the 5.1 as I'm out then as I refuse to have to pay $100 to just get the one new thing I would like to hear.
Good to see that they are finally moving on this as hasn't "WYWH" 5.1 been completed and waiting for a release for years now.
Guess will have to wait and see how this all plays out.

I'm put off by it already. Where the hell are the lossless Quad mixes?
