“Pulse” film to be reissued

Posted December 16, 2021 by Floydian Slip

Sony Music will re-issue the 1994 Pink Floyd “Pulse” concert film on Blu-Ray and DVD on Feb. 18.

“P.U.L.S.E. Restored & Re-Edited” appears to be the same version of the David Mallet-directed film re-cut by Hipgnosis‘s Aubrey Powell that was included in 2019’s “The Later Years: 1987–2019” boxset.

This stand-alone reissue includes a pulsating light built into the package, similar to the original ’95 “Pulse” CD. (Better yet, the light is now operated by two replaceable AA batteries.)

“Essentially, it’s a device which we thought was entertaining,” drummer Nick Mason says of the light. “It’s an idea of Storm Thorgerson’s, which related to ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ and the pulse, and it’s a live album so the box is ‘alive.’

“After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit,” he adds.

The concert was recorded Oct. 20, 1994, at Earl’s Court in London, and includes a complete performances of the band’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.”

The two-disc set includes a variety of music videos, tour screen films, documentaries and additional material.

The 3-LP 180-gram vinyl set includes nine songs not included on the 1988 release of the album. And the 2-CD includes eight tracks more than the original release.

Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 and directed by Wayne Isham, the re-issued film is sourced from more than 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, restored and transferred to 4K. The film has been re-edited by Benny Trickett from the restored and upgraded footage under creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis.

The sound has been remixed from the original multitrack tapes by longtime Floyd engineer Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins.

Sony will handle re-release of “Delicate Sound of Thunder” outside Europe, while Warner Music will manage the European release.
