A Momentary Lapse Of Reason Remixed & Updated

Excellent! Thank you!

After listening to this "new" CD - and that is not a mistake to call it "new" - I realized that the trashed version the bulk of the bands' members envisioned for the album was far, far different than the originally published product. I always loved the old one, true, but it always lacked the layered, mysterious quality of "Meddle", "Wish You Were Here" and "The Wall". Naively, I just thought the band was heading in a different direction. But now I finally understand the cause of "A Momentary Lapse of Reason's" flatness. And that is not from merely reading the insert. It also comes from simply comparing one with the other. While the original could be said to have suffered from a bewildering artistic repression (judging by its sound), it is better to say it suffered from lack of collaboration with those creative and honorable band members who were, sadly, unable to "right the ship" prior to its listing beyond recovery. Anyway.... Musically, I want to point out that the bass and the drums (and other low frequency effects) are not just "improvements" of the original but are actually "new creations" that hew tightly to the original songs. Thankfully, this new rendering brings to bear a night and day quality improvement which is, in this new project, in-your-face obvious. These improvements are millennia ahead of the bass and drums on - let's face it - the hobbled cut of yesteryear. The bass - whether from guitar, drums, or other effects - is taut, clean, and celebratory - as well as a bit unnerving in its occasional reach down to subterranean frequencies. My listening at home uses NAD/Definitive Technology/Sunfire/Carver products and the "new album" with its corrections was instantly recognizable as the jewel it always could be. However, when I fired it up in my car... which has sound deadening material throughout and uses a combination of Class A/B and Class G Soundstream (2nd Gen, 2009) amps, Boston Acoustics Pro Series 5se components, an overdamped 12" subwoofer in a heavily braced and sealed .9 cubic foot box ported directly into the cabin, Pioneer DEH-80PRS head unit with mic'ed time alignment, listener position assignments, and auto-EQ curve baselining... it was only then I realized that it was almost impossible to consider the two albums similar anymore. With not a hint of nostalgia, I threw the original CD away. That's how much better the "new" album is in all respects.

An amazing re edition of Gilmour's masterpiece.

love Pink Floyd and the masters inside

It's not as good as the original album mix. A nice alternate version though.

Didn't realize exactly what a half mastered vinyl was. I received the vinyl and put it on and immediately noticed it seemed quite slow. Perhaps I was having a " Momentary Lapse of Reason" pun intended! I switched it from 33rpm to 45rpm and suddenly everything became quite clear. Ahhhhh! Those clever sound engineers did something completely out of the normal realm of typical vinyl. It absolutely does make a difference in sound quality that even I with my untrained ear could hear. Well worth the purchase price and I'm very pleased with this double vinyl.

one of the Floyd's best in my opinion;great music and great vocals; every song has a story as does all their music

I was skeptical, but this remix puts a lot more of Wright’s keyboards into the album and lightens the 80’s influences, leaving it better for their efforts.

A qualidade do encarte, do disco e do som sao excepcionais. Para quem gosta de pink floyd, esta versão remixada é um mimo. Um ponto Interessante é que precisa ser tocado a 45rpm.

Arrivée plus tôt que prévu, j'ai eu un petit problème par contre il manquait le disque #2 j'ai contacter le vendeur et il a résolu le problème très rapidement. J'ai reçu le #2 par express post . Un disque remasterisé qui sonne merveilleusement bien ! Merci beaucoup

Sonido y presentación excelentes! El disco llego sin mas protección que una bolsa y está ondulado, pero no afecta el sonido.

Le remixage de cet album remettant à l'avant-plan la batterie de Nick Mason et les claviers de feu Richard Wright élèvent cet album au rang de chef-d'oeuvre par rapport au mixage précédent. L'ajout des photos du défunt claviériste aux côtés de David Gilmour et du batteur corrigent également une injustice injustifiée.

Quando David Gilmour e Nick Mason estavam trabalhando na coletânea The Later Years, eles conseguiram restaurar sobras de estúdio das gravações do Division Bell com a ajuda de novas tecnologias e o resultado foi excelente. Foi quando eles pensaram que seria então possível utilizar dos mesmos recursos para dar um upgrade nesse clássico que é um dos melhores discos da carreira da banda. Os teclados do Richard Wright foram restaurados e a bateria foi gravada novamente por Nick Mason, o que de certa forma elevou o equilíbrio criativo entre os três músicos. Aqui, só pelo booklet já valeria a pena, mas o fato é que as novas versões ficaram impressionantemente deliciosas de ouvir, ou seja, se você é fã desse álbum nem pense duas vezes, mesmo se você já tiver o original.
