Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Official Pink Floyd Thread.

I am usually not a fan of covers although there are some exception that I REALLY like.

I highly recommend the cover of Echos by Rodrigo y Gabriella.

Not only do I think they did an amazing job, the recording is very good and makes my system sound wonderful.

Here`s one that I discovered about ten years ago. "Atom Heart Mother" is a rather complex piece of music, but this ensemble flat-out f`kn KILLS it !

synch both of the sources. CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD & AUD. This is a 65% SBD, 35% AUD mix.

Notes

d1t01 The line "I've been mad for ****ing years" in Speak To Me
was removed from the Pre FM (SBD) source. This was not cut out
as the length of the song was still the same as the AUD. I tried
a number of edits to mix that line from the AUD into the SBD
source. I could not come up with an edit I considered smooth.
I was able to perform the same edit of this line on the AUD
source with a smooth and natural result. So this line has been
removed from both the SBD and the AUD source. This is smooth
and most likely undetectable.

d1t05 The Pre FM (SBD) source was missing 3.875 seconds between
The Great Gig In The Sky and Money. The AUD was the trimmed
accordingly to match. Being at the repetitive portion on the
end of the song, this is smooth and most likely undetectable.

d1t08 The AUD source cuts at 41:07.515 and is missing 1:36.33
of Any Colour You Like. I used the Pre FM (SBD) source mixed
with a repeating crowd cheer portion from the AUD recording to
add depth. I then applied a 1:46.333 patch with 5 second
crossfades on each end. The result is good but as this is a
source change it is still somewhat noticeable.

d1t09 You can get a good feel for the effect of sound travel
during the line "The lunatic is on the grass.". The sound
travel results in a small echo on the AUD source and can be
heard in the rear channels on the 5.1 and the matrix mix.
This is very interesting.

d1t10 The Pre FM (SBD) has a long portion of cheering and
tuning prior to the encore Echoes. Unfortunately this was
missing from the AUD source. The SBD was trimmed to match
and both sources has multiple edits, mixing and crossfades
were performed to keep the flow btwn the last song and the
encore sounding as natural as possible. The result was good
and this is smooth and most likely undetectable.
 
Hey, does anyone else find that the 2018 Animals Remix CD is very prone to skipping/short stops? It plays OK in my car and some setups, but is very prone to short pauses in some of my decks. Just curious...

No issues with mine. I've only tried it on two players though, on the computer and the main rig.

I'll give it run through a Playstation 1 and old Sony player later today. I'll let you know results.
