I have heard the whole suite of Darkside in the boxset this weekend and love the 5:1 mix the best. I think Guthrie did a superb job. I can't wait to play them at a soundcheck on our arena rig. I know everyone adores the Parsons mix, but I really do love the new remasters. I especially love Us and Them and Gig.
Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?
Has anyone heard or compared the MFSL version of Darkside (released inthe 80's I think) vs the new re-master by Jamse Guthrie in the EMI "Discovery" or "Experience" editions CDs?
The newer versions are a lot cheaper and may benefit from todays more advanced technology, but MFSL versions have been reference standards for years.
I am looking to pick up one or the other so any input would be appreciated.

So what is the very best sounding DSOM cd IYO? I do like the recently re-mastered "The Wall" cd. Deeper sounding with more air and seperation. Dynamics are a little softer but that is fixed by level matching. At the same spl the new version sounds very nice. Can't wait to try "animals" because the original is ok in the car but not in the home. Meddle is also better. Any comments on "wish you were here"? |
http://www.tonepublications.com Tone Audio magazine does a very detailed analysis of the recent remasters and how they compare with previous incarnations. |
