Pink Floyd’s Animals is being reissued in Dolby ATMOS
Even all these years later, Pink Floyd’s albums from the 70s are among the best-sounding of all time. But the band and their people believe that there’s still room for improvement.
Come May 17, there will be a new reissue of Pink Floyd’s Animals album, specifically a Dolby ATMOS version of the 2018 remix. You’ll need a Blu-ray player to listen and it helps that you’ve got the proper home theatre setup.
It will also be available on CD, vinyl, SACD (you don’t see a lot of those these days), and Deluxe Gatefold form. The latter includes vinyl, CD, audio Blu-ray, audio DVD, and a 32-page book.
Here are the credits/details:
It was only 2 years ago that they released the 5.1 mix of ‘Animals – 2018 Mix’ on Blu-Ray. To me it seems awfully soon to be going back to the ‘Animals’ well when they have other titles in their catalog that have not received multi-channel remixes of any kind nor Hi-Res Blu-Ray editions (most notably ‘The Wall’).
