Are you talking about the 5.1 Dark Side remix done by James Guthrie? Pink Floyd is licensing a lot of their material to record companies now for all kinds of new content. The Immersion sets are a good example....
I have it, but I've only compared it to my cd. The cd sounds "enhanced" compared to the emi lp, exaggerated dynamics in particular. Since getting the lp, I haven't looked back.
Hey Poprhetor:
I did a bit of digging today and that remastered Dark Side LP is just the original Alan Parson's mix. No remixing. No attempt to add anything (or add dynamics); what you are hearing is closer to Alan's finished master tapes, as approved by the band.

Anybody tired of re-masters, re-issues, re-mixes, re-releases as much as me?

It's getting re-ally old.

Just wondering.
Yup. Especially considering the fact that "They" re-issue the same stuff over and over and over and over again. How many more re-issued re-releases of "Kind of Blue" or "Folk Singer" or "Getz/Gilberto" or any Hendrix, Patricia Barber, Who, Stones, Zeppelin, Beatles....do we really need???

How about some of that great music from the CD forever era that's been digitally locked away for 20+ years? I'd take the three Richard Thompson's albums from the early 90's, all of Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan's Real World recordings, kd Lang's Ingenue...the list goes on and on. How about seminal LPs that need to be reissued so more people can gain familiarity with the music - Television's "Marquee Moon" is a good example.

Feh.
