At home I believe I have vista w/ IE9 and it won't playback any youtube vids. It constantly says that I need to upgrade my Adobe flash player, but I have the latest version installed........ this is very frustrating. Once in a bluemoon it will start playing a vid but stop after like a minute and that stupid little circle thing just keeps moving around.]]>

I don't mean literally; I bet not many people have a song that will make them the happiest person in the world at any time. But y'know, let's see what songs you associate with your good moods.

Mine:
Beirut - A Sunday Smile
Pink Floyd - Mudmen
Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
Fleetwood Mac - Monday Morning
Bruce Springsteen - Tenth Avenue Freeze-out
System of a Down - Radio/Video
Lou Reed - Sweet Jane]]> Every action has a reaction.

Just dropped by to offer a view of my latest video creation. It is dedicated to Richard Wright.

The Pink Floyd instrumental "Signs Of Life" has always inspired a transcendental journey for me; I wanted to conceptualize this experience with compelling images that may help interpret some of what I feel in a visual sense. The voyage begins in a rowboat - destination and passenger unknown, sees the birth of our solar system, and concludes in the low orbits of Europa, Mars, and Earth...

...and it's great for trippers. I hope you like it. It's ok to tell me if you do ;).

P.S. Also on my page is the full SF Roger Waters performance UNCUT if you have not already seen it.]]>

Hi folks, first time poster here - hope you don't mind me joining the group and conversation.

I thought that you might be interested in a new podcast/blog I have just released exploring the connection between Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and the Cold War. To give you some background information, I am an academic historian who generally teaches American History and American Studies. In an effort to open up a broader dialogue outside of the proverbial ivory tower I've been working on a podcast series for the past year which I use as a forum to explore some weird and wonderful ways to look at the subjects I teach. This month I thought I'd turn my attention to how Pink Floyd's (etc) music was altered by the growth of the Cold War in the 1980s. As I often teach on interdisciplinary courses (those which integrate history, english, and politics, for instance) I felt that an exploration of some of Pink Floyd's music would be an interesting way to highlight how the pop culture we consume can help to educate us about the past - at least that's what I hope this podcast achieves!

Any feedback or discussion would be more than welcome - it's always a pleasure to talk with my fellow fans of the band.

You can stream the podcast (or read the transcript) by clicking THIS LINK

The original CD just sounds the same as the vinyl version, simply transferred to CD (which it probably is). The 1993 remaster (the first remaster) sounds similar, just a bit louder but most of the imperfections are still there ("Time" is particularly bad).

I hadn't noticed any of these until I had heard the 2003 5.1 mix (which I had not heard until the Immersion set was released). The 5.1 mix & the 2011 remaster have gone back to the very original master tapes (that is each individual tape that each individual instrument / vocal was recorded on) and transferred (as uncompressed audio) digitally, there must be hundreds. The original vinyl / CD and 1993 versions used 3rd generation tapes (parts being consolodated together onto fewer tapes, lessening their fidelity), it's these 3rd gen tapes which must contain the imperfections. "Time" contains many crackles, pops and weird pitch-bends during the intro and guitar solo, pitch-bends during TGGITS are also present. These are all gone in the new mixes, plus much of the bass / guitar distortion is gone and is much crisper, again particularly on "Time".

Anyone else compared them? (I have too much time on my hands at the moment...)]]>
