Animals 2018 Remix - The iconic 1977 Pink Floyd album has been remixed for the first time by James Guthrie. Animals is a concept album, focusing on the social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from the style of the band’s earlier work. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of animals. Taking inspiration from George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals with pigs being at the top of the social chain, dropping down to the sheep as the mindless herd following what they are told, with dogs as the business bosses getting fat on the money and power they hold over the other. Although it’s been a long time since 1977, the narrative of the album still resonates today as our social and economic situation mirrors that of the time.

Superb! I have only opened it and haven't had a chance to play the LP. All materials looked of high quality. Love the booklet. And the vinyl is thick and heavy. Yay!! NOT thin and cheap. I am in the process of moving. Once I settle and have my turntable back up and running, this will be the first selection I enjoy! I have another fan at work and shared the remix with him. He his excited and ordering a box set for himself!

WOW!!! Animals is one of my favorite PF recordings (WYWH is the other). I am a fan of Quad back-in-the-day and have waited for this recording to be released in 5,1 to add Animals to my 5.1 collection. Simply, this is fantastic. As I mentioned above, the Pink Floyd album ‘Animals’ is a favorite and was the first time I heard it in 1977. The Deluxe Version reissue contains various items, mixes, and formats including the 2018 mix in 5.1 uncompressed format. WOW!!! 100-105dB is simply fantastic. Clear, concise, “everything” where it should be. The drums and bass are present in a way that is outstanding. Keyboards are as I remember. The vocals are there and adds everything one wants. Gilmore’s guitars are superb. Now to pull out the 5.1 mix of WYWH…. Life is good at this moment.

Wow, this new mixes sound quality is absolutely incredible. It now has the same sonic clarity as DSoTM and WYWH. Hearing all the instruments little nuances is like discovering it for the first time. Hard to believe an album I've listened to thousands of times can still surprise me with new things. As for the box set, the artwork and booklet are all top quality. Right up there with the immersion boxes. I'm so glad I got the deluxe box, 100% worth it.
