So, I recently downloaded this. I know. Piracy sucks, but I have no other option at the moment. I'm totally buying the Pink Floyd discography and all of the downloaded albums as soon as I can. Anyway, back on subject, this is what I have:



It appears that I have the first side cut into two, both halves have like 2 or 3 songs mashed up together, and the same thing for the second side. Does anybody know how to dispatch this?

There's no technical issue anywhere. You downloaded the special 2-disc version, which had the standard release and the 360 audio release. The 1st Disc 1 is the standard release, the 2nd Disc 2 is the 360 audio release. The 2nd Disc 1 is the standard release and the 2nd Disc 2 is the 360 audio release.

I don't know what a 360 audio release is. But, why are all the tracks mashed up together?

Read down to where it talks about the production of the album. As for why all the tracks are "mashed up" together, that's how it's supposed to be. It's ambient music, and the songs flow into and out of one another. You can't separate them, they're not meant to be separated. Each side is to be listened to as one whole piece. It's no different than the Shine On suite.

Okay. Thank you, LF.
