Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 50th Anniversary Atmos mix in 2023! (Standalone BD coming in October!)

[privateuniverse]

A "short" just popped up on the Floyd's official YouTube channel. (For some reason I can't insert it like a normal YouTube clip). It says it's a "TDSOTM 50th Anniversary Teaser". Let the speculation begin....

TDSOTM 50th Anniversary Teaser (Breathe)

You'd think they could get the Animals box released before they started teasing another one....

In terms of surround sound, there's only one new thing they could offer us, and that is of course a new Dolby Atmos mix of the album.
Besides that, I can't think of much else that they could add to a 50th anniversary edition that hasn't already been released in the Immersion edition.

Maybe a mix done in 2016 that's been held back !
(They've been flogging the 2003 mix for nearly 20 years)

A Blu ray disc that isn't faulty....

More marbles, 3 isn’t enough for most of us!

I'd say the spinning 3D pyramid hints toward that possibility. Has James Guthrie had any Atmos mixes released to date?

Maybe they'll get smart and let Wilson mix it. Fat chance...

I'm not a big fan of any of the Guthrie 5.1 PF mixes to date. I'm not sure if letting him experiment with Atmos on what may be the most revered of recordings is a good or bad thing. I guess well see what comes out, and if it is indeed any different than what we already have.

50 years!

Wow

Not a big fan? Have you heard the Quad version? To this day, when I play it in my car, people are amazed, at the sonic fidelity.
After hearing "Us & Them", if you're unimpressed..........

Well, it's been 10 years since I've bought an iteration of TDSOTM, so I guess it's about time.

Guthrie didn't mix the quad version, Alan Parsons did. Guthrie did the 5.1 mix which pales in comparison, though he did get a bit more fidelity out of it.

Even if Guthrie were to again opt for a conservative spread of the instruments in an Atmos version, it'd still be cool to see how the sound effects could engage the height speakers.

My bad; you're 100% CORRECT!
The Parson's version is Ethereal

Like clocks on the ceiling..... or the plane decent/crash... maybe we could have the runners footfalls up there, eh
