Roger Waters: Animals coming to 5.1 Surround Sound

Posted April 17, 2018 by Floydian Slip


Roger Waters says a 5.1 Surround Sound edition of Pink Floyd‘s “Animals” (1977) is on its way.

According to Super Deluxe Edition, the Floyd co-founder mentioned the release during an interview on Dutch radio station NPO Radio 2:

“I’ve just been working with Po (Aubrey Powell),” he said. “There’s a reissue of ‘Animals,’ I think, a 5.1 remix of ‘Animals,’ and so he came up with some new photographs of Battersea Power Station, as it is now, to use as a CD cover for the new 5.1 mix. It’s beautiful.”

Any 5.1 remix wouldn’t be pressed to compact disc, since the format doesn’t support the technology. So Waters most likely was referring to an upcoming Blu-ray or DVD.
