Guys what's up with that Discovery remastered stuff? How's it different or better than the last time they released a remastered box set? Cause I still have that! It was just a few years ago.

Orbert · « **Reply #422 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:36:10 AM »

To me, the big draw of the new stuff is the 5.1 surround mix, which are said to sound really great. I've heard that the new remasters sound great even in 2.0, but I'm not one of those who always has to have the latest version of something, especially when what I've got already sounds pretty darned good.

I have all of the Discovery edition and they sound really well, more alive. Although I want to listen to the special editions of The Wall, DSOTM and WYWH.

I discovered Floyd through this Discovery series (pun intended) and I have the albums from Meddle to The Wall (excluding Obscured...). They were a great band!

I'm not a big fan of psychedelic rock and I've heard negative comments about the post-Wall stuff so I'm not sure if I'll get more albums by them (on the top of that, my wallet isn't bottomless!) but out of the ones I have my favorites are WYWH, Animals and The Wall so I think they got progressively better.

You should give their early albums a listen. I'm sure you'll find something likable in Atom heart mother.

A very good album, I see why it's so popular. However, I prefer the 3 that came after it and I don't care much about On the Run but it's a great record nonetheless.

Ok, thanks for recommendation! I'll check those out.

Progmetty · « **Reply #428 on:** December 08, 2011, 07:19:59 AM »

Regarding the remasters; I'm getting the Foot in The Door thing and Animals, that should do. If I find the remasters on those 2 cds "exceptional" then I'll get WYWH & The Wall.

Dark Side of the Moon

I've got my rituals... dim the lights... sip your wine... make sure nothing gets in the way.... think through the album.... The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older..... Shorter of breath and one day closer to death total brain damage....

Dat solo.

Bought the Discovery boxset for my father's birthday today. Can't wait to listen to it!

I also bought myself a DSOTM mug

ThroughHerEyesDude6 · « **Reply #434 on:** December 15, 2011, 01:03:04 AM »

I finally saw the DSOTM and WYWH immersion box sets. Holy shit if I had the money...

Atom Heart Mother is pretty yuck. Meddle is great though.

I love Atom heart.

Nel · « **Reply #442 on:** December 16, 2011, 10:40:46 PM »

I freaking love Atom Heart Mother. The title track makes me think Sgt. Pepper's leading a psychedelic army or something.

Jirpo · « **Reply #443 on:** December 16, 2011, 10:50:18 PM »

Summer 68 is rediculously underrated. Amazing song.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #444 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:32:44 PM »

Atom Heart is amazing. So is Meddle. Only PF album I don't really like is The Wall.

Jirpo · « **Reply #445 on:** December 17, 2011, 12:00:08 AM »

I love pretty much all of them. Ranking time:

1. Animals
2. WYWH
3. DSOTM
4. Atom heart mother
5. Meddle
6. The Division Bell
7. The Wall
8. Obscured By clouds
The rest

We have the same top four, man!

And yeah, it's interesting that the opinions on AHM are so divided. I personaly love it.

Orbert · « **Reply #448 on:** December 17, 2011, 06:15:14 AM »

Atom Heart Mother is one of the oddballs in the catalogue. I think of it as something of a transitional album. They'd always done longer tunes and shorter tunes, but the longer ones tended to be very open, spacey things with a lot of improvision, almost jam-band stuff. The shorter ones, I always think of Syd's silly British things like "Bike". But with AHM, both sides were evolving and getting more depth. The longer cuts were actually taking form, and AHM might be seen as the first really serious step towards prog.

So anyway, because of all that, it's not surprising that it divides people. There are definitely parts that don't work for me, but others parts I think are brilliant.

KevShmev · « **Reply #449 on:** December 17, 2011, 07:12:07 AM »

Summer '68 and Fat Old Sun are both great, but I can do without if and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. Atom Heart Mother's title track is certainly interesting; the main theme is pretty sweet, and there are some other great moments, but it gets pretty tedious after a while. It's one of those songs that's good to listen to in the background like once a year.

I just realized I put the question mark, I don't know why. Maybe I should have said ''right?''

Was listening to this last night. "Careful With That Axe Eugene" is a great song.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #453 on:** December 17, 2011, 09:41:05 AM »

It's such a crazy album. Especially, Several Species...

ReaperKK · « **Reply #454 on:** December 17, 2011, 09:44:59 AM »

yea it's a weird album, it's not my favorite. On the studio side "Sysyphus" and "The Narrow Way" are the only things really worth listening to.
