Many new multichannel options with Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the Moon is out on SACD since 2003 and is probably the
best-selling SACD ever, so far. It contains a 5.1 mix by James Guthrie
made newly for this 30th Anniversary Edition.
Like we reported in May, in 2009 he also remixed Wish You Were Here in
5.1 and EMI has finally issued this mix on SACD this year. We're still
waiting for it to show up on Amazon and CD Japan, which should happen
any time soon now, but in the meantime there are various other options
to explore, all part of the Why Pink Floyd? 2011 reissue program.

First of all, the DSotM Immersion Box Set, out since September 27,
contains six discs plus many other goodies. One of them is an
audio-only DVD (but not a DVD-Audio disc) with the following contents:
James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on SACD)
in standard resolution audio at 448 kbps and 640kbps
Quad Mix (engineer Alan Parsons, previously released only on vinyl
LP/8 track tape in 1973) in standard resolution audio at 448 kbps and
640kbps PCM Stereo mix
That 448 kbit/second track is simply Dolby Digital. We're not sure
about the 640 kbps track, referred to by some sites as 'high
resolution'. It's not DTS (which on DVD-Video uses 755 or 1510 kbps)
so it's probably higher-bitrate Dolby Digital -- not conforming to the
DVD-Video standard but still decodable by just about any (current) AV
Receiver. The quad mix was never officially issued on SACD or DVD but
has been circulating as a DVD-Audio download in the online bootleg
circuit.
Another disc is a Blu-ray Disc which besides several films (some in
24/48 5.1!) contains the following audio tracks:
    James Guthrie 2003 5.1 Surround Mix (previously released only on
SACD) in high resolution audio at 96kHz / 24-bit
    original stereo mix (1973) 96kHz / 24-bit

With the other album the situation is comparable: The WYWH Immersion
Box Set, due November 8, contains five discs including one audio-only
DVD:
James Guthrie 2007 5.1 Surround Mix (previously unreleased) in
standard resolution audio at 448 kbps and 640kbps
Quad Mix (previously released only on vinyl LP/8 track tape) in
standard resolution audio at 448 kbps and 640 kbps
James Guthrie 2011 High Resolution Stereo Mix
and a Blu-ray Disc with several films/clips and this audio track:
James Guthrie 2007 5.1 Surround Mix (previously unreleased) in high
resolution at 96kHz / 24-bit
Now if only we could see for a similar treatment of The Wall,
scheduled for February 28, 2012. We can hope, and you can sign this
petition on Facebook.

Sicuramente l'idea dell "Immersion" e' buona, ma 100 e passa euro sono un po' tanti, invece che approfittare come al solito degli appassionati del gruppo non potevano prevedere l'acquisto dei pezzi separati?

Il SACD separato per "Wish you were here" � acquistabile da Acoustics
Sound negli USA o da JPC in Germania.
Ciao.
