Tror jeg må blåse støv av The Final Cut igjen snart.
Og når du blåser liv i The Final Cut, så tenk på at det nå finnes remastrede utgaver av "Wish You Were Here" og "Dark Side Of The Moon" både på Vinyl, men også i SACD og Hybrid Mutichannel SACD som er lydmessig slik de var tenkt, men den tidens utstyr hang ikke helt med, så de vanlige utgivelsene gir ikke helt det tiltenkte lydbildet.
Her er et lite utvalg gode omtaler sitert:
35th Anniversary Edition
The Most Anticipated SACD Release Since The Dark Side Of The Moon!
Easily The Biggest SACD Title In The XXXX Catalog!
Wish You Were Here is a multitrack masterpiece. Now, to have it mixed for 5.1 surround sound and stereo from the original analog master tapes by Pink Floyd's Producer/Engineer James Guthrie is, well, pretty damn exciting.
"Multichannel treatments of older rock recordings that truly serve the musical essence of the original are rare. Here's one that does. ... James Guthrie's 5.1 mix generates a vast sound space. ... The mechanical pulsing that begins "Welcome to the Machine" is harrowing in its visceral acuity."
"From the opening sound effects that tracked from the rear to the front, to the final fade on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 9", listeners were immersed in the re-creation of one of the finest rock albums of all time. I felt Guthrie's surround mix was true to the band's original two-channel intentions while expanding the soundfield to take full advantage of the multichannel medium. "Magnificent!" I scrawled in my notebook."
"I immediately noticed something major: NO HISS! Every other reproduction I have ever heard of this album has had audible hiss at the very start of Shine On part 1. On this reproduction there was zero. Fantastic! This can almost certainly be attributed to remixing the album from the original multitrack masters. At last!"
"...this is nothing less than aural bliss, with the proper focus given to the emotional impact of the work as a whole (and its status as a classic of the Pink Floyd oeuvre) as well as its inherent musicality. The mix enhances all these qualities, reveals details most have never truly heard before (or heard so distinctly), and yet remains entirely respectful to the music itself, which in the end is all that matters."
Since the SACD release of Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, our customers have been effusive with their praise as you can see in the comments they've posted to this site — or to put it more simply: IT'S THE BOMB! — "Absolutely incredible sound, you are surrounded by pure Pink Floyd music where every detail in the music is revealed in the highest quality." "The sound is crystal clear, one of my best SACD's." Do go on with your flattery. They did.
"...The music may be almost 40 years old, but it sounded fresh because of the mix, which used the center and rear channels very effectively, creating a true soundscape that was startling at points - especially immediately before the lyrics began to 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' - and mindblowing at others. This demo was a potent reminder of how innovative and expertly constructed this music was - and that David Gilmour's greatness cannot be overestimated. Only such a promising demo could pack a room with press during the opening minutes of the show." - Mark Mickelson,
