Coytee Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Just gotta say that I put it in this morning and for the first time in years, listened to it nonstop at a fairly crisp level [6] Da** that's still an excellent recording! Tis all I had to say! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You just inspired me to listen to "Pulse".......off I go. .....oh yeah, it'll be at a crisp level. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I was last there on my way to Pluto, rather a nice place. The SACD is very nice. Kinda like the difference between MP3 320 and CD Audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Nice recording indeed......I also have an original pressing "wish you were here" that is the bomb....I close my eye's and I almost start hallucinating ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I agree with JB, the SACD is very good. It is a 4.0 channel recording, not 5.1 as most SACDs, but still is a nice departure from the original 2-ch. There is also a good "making of DSOTM" DVD that is fascinating. Alan Parsons talks alot about his recording techniques and decisions from way back then. An interesting story, maybe from that making of dvd, is that Pink Floyd was making the soundtrack for Michalangelo Antonioni's "Zabriskie Point," a hippy-trippy movie from around 71-72. He changed his mind so many times that some music made for the movie never was used. Some of those numbers were subsequently used on DSOTM.

mike stehr Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I have the hybrid SACD/CD of DSOTM. Pawn shop 3 dollar item in new condition. I like the recording, fairly clean......but it seems like they jacked up the compression or something. You crank it up a bit on the first song, and you can literally hear the master tape or whatever fire up. First digital silence, and then wooooooooooooooooooooooosh.....thump thump, thump, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!, THUMP! And then full blare...The clocks do really blast out, however....

Multibiker Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's fun to play Dark Side as an alternate soundtrack to the Wizard of Oz DVD. Amazing how the music is appropriate to each scene. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser SET say Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Da** that's still an excellent recording! Had to come print some stuff off at the office for my sons science project but you have inspired me to go home and put my nice new crisp 200gm 30th anny edition of this on the old plastic spinner[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 although mine is just the 30th anniversary SACD/CD hybrid...I enjoyed it just the same...must have been subliminal...I wondered what made me put that particular CD on today...

jamesV Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Man, that does sound like a good ideal. [H] I have both the 30th anniversary SACD/CD and vinyl. I think that it will be the SACD/CD version. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean5340 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well after all the talk I had to turn the volume off of the game and put in DSOTM. WOW! I haven't listened to this on my system in it's current state. It is truly awesome. I cannot believe the the bass. What frequency is the bass at the beginning of "Breathe"? I could hardly hear it but everything in the room was vibrating like crazy. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Still have my original, complete with seed burn. I've never heard either a vinyl re-issue or a digital version as good. Don't know what they do to it. I digitized my own vinyl and it sounded better than the Mobile Fidelity CD my wife has. Hmm.... What were we talking about?

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 For some reason I decided to listen to "The Wall" last week. Great album, dark story. I pulled out Meddle a few days later. All of their stuff is recorded so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I can't figure why they can't get a lot of re-issues right also.....one glaring example is one of my go to system test lps...Santana Abraxas, I have the original which IMO can't be touched by the MOFI or the 1/2 speed remaster..... Simon and Garfunkle's Bookends is another...my old scratchy original sounds better than the brand new 180 gram I just got???????? with just a few exceptions ....CD's that I burn on my Tascam CC -222( pretty low tech ) from vinyl, sound better than purchased cd's. I don't know....what were you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
