It is over.

It was boring.

Now to look at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Last and longest one, Pigs On The Wing 2

Is it a new 70 minute version?

With the acoustic just strumming the riff on repeat over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

And a 15 minute Snowy White Guitar solo Excited

I'll never listen to that mix again. It was alright, but I'll prefer the one made by the group in 1977, aristojar

I shall give it 3 stars.

Hmm.

Well, actually, not "hmm".

Aminals has longed vied with my affections regarding what is my personal favourite Floyd album, but this mix does it absolutely no favours whatsoever.

So many things/decisions were wrong and/or really badly executed that it robbed the whole thing of its glorious 'twilight of analogue' sonorousness and majesty.

It was, weirdly, only really interesting to hear Wright's keyboards more clearly, but every other decision was a dead loss.

Reverb is your friend.

Not your enemy.

Cherish it.

I'm going ★★☆☆☆ for the 2018 mix.

It's a proper vinyl con estéreo con ecualizador gráfico twiddling-while you stare, beguiled, at the sexy peak-meters album is Aminals is.

Is It Good? Pink Floyd Animals Remix Vinyl Review | Vinyl Rewind.

Apparently up to 40% of the vinyls are being returned due to ~~lacklustre songs~~ scratches and scruff!

I was listening to the orginal mix in the Brum-brum the other day, the music is one big lump and when things emerge from the bolus of merky sound, it's obviously a stylistic thing, this new mix loses all that, and the power for the sake of Hi-Fidelity. I don't listen to Pink Floyd for the audio quality.

shifty
