Pink Floyd/UK 1.20.1972

Pink Floyd's most important sound source is urgently released!! The sound source of that famous recording "Madness World Premiere" has completely regained its original power and is finally revived!! The song "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" was created. As you all know, this great song was tested over a period of about a year while the prototype version was played on live tours around the world, and was gradually revised until it became the final version included in the album. It is well known that the process included 8 performances in Japan in March 1972, and the ``crazy, complete performance as a prototype'' was performed at all the venues during that visit to Japan. 44 years later, it still gives us great insight. However, the only sound source that recorded the world premiere on January 20, 1972, two months before that, has been widely supported as a special performance that even more intensely arouses the intellectual curiosity of fans. This weekend, the top sound source of "Madness World Premiere", one of the most important sound sources in Floyd's history, will finally be revived!! As you may know, this recording of Madness World Premiere has been recorded in the past. An existing sound source existed. Famous songs include ``THE DARKSIDE REHEARSALS'' and ``HERE THEY COME,'' both of which were released overseas, and I'm sure many of you have heard them. However, since the sound of those already released records is almost 15 years old, it is true that it is unsatisfactory to our ears accustomed to modern excellent bootleg sounds. This work that appears this time also uses the same recording source, which is the only confirmed one, but this time, the premiere sound source was delivered to Sigma from a major overseas Floyd collector. It was a high-resolution sound that had been upgraded. However, this famous sound source is originally an excellent AUD recording, so for those who have heard the sound on the previously released version, it may not be easy to understand even if it is called an upper version or remastered version. However, this latest sound image has a certain secret that you will instantly notice the difference in sound quality when you listen to it. The reason for this is a major review of the quiet range. For example, in this premiere, as you may know, there was an unexpected incident in which the performance was interrupted due to equipment trouble in the middle of "Money", but an eerie hum noise occurred in the middle of the previous song "The Mortality Sequence". The increasing wavelength of the sound, the way the sounds of each instrument disperse when they are forced to interrupt with "Money," the hall becoming quiet for a while after that... all of these scenes were made possible by the quality of the quiet sound behind them. You will find that you can deeply experience the documentary. Therefore, this work carefully removes the hiss noise that existed in the original recording (= the biggest negative factor in the sound of the previously released record) and carefully examines the original sound, and improves the sharpness, thickness, and resonance of the original sound without affecting the sound image at all. The main focus is on bringing out the vibrations to the utmost limit, and as a result, even with the same sound, we are able to achieve a luxurious finish with significantly different textures and clarity. In fact, when you listen to it and compare it with the previously released sound, you'll think, "Huh? It sounded so full of emotion!?" and you'll feel a dazzling sense of sharpness and brilliance that you've never felt before in that tone. Of course, this is not the only highlight of this world premiere, for example: ・“Breathe”, which starts with a one-beat lag and has unstable lyrics and melody ・“The Travel Sequence”, which feels like there is still room for development and possibility ・Even though it is a first performance, it is already “Time” has reached its completion stage, “Breathe (Reprise)” has no lyrics, “The Mortality Sequence” vividly exposes the song’s original form, and “Atom Heart Mother” was substituted in at short notice because the song could not be performed in its entirety. ”, etc. There are too many to list, but please consider that these many rare scenes that you are used to listening to have a finely honed quality of quiet range. That is exactly the sound of this work, and that is why it is the strongest documentary sound in the history of sound sources. I think you can instinctively understand how important the high quality of quiet sound is when listening to a historic premiere performed by a musical group that pursued the possibilities of sound in the first place. Moreover, the upper feeling that comes out without wavering in both weak and strong sounds will deepen your understanding and response to this crazy world premiere. The heavy lossless data file sent by the important collector who provided the sound source this time was packed with master-quality rediscoveries of incredible knowledge that was worth its weight. Let's listen. In "Speak to Me," the sound of a heartbeat played on tape by a sound group moving device is vividly brought back to life as it emanates from various parts of the venue. At this point, you can already feel that the quality is higher than the previously released sound, but in "Breathe", there are some strange things that can only be seen at the premiere, such as the mixing of the first and second lyrics and scenes where the melody has unstable fluctuations. The appearance appears with even higher quality sound. As you may know, "The Travel Sequence" is an early version of "On The Run", and this too shows the music "running around", easily surpassing the previously released sounds, and the faint tones and breaths emitted by each instrument. You will be overwhelmed by the sound components that intertwine and run through. The striking guitar chords and the rhythm section's reverberations come out with even sharper sound images, and even in scenes where the sound lingers for a while after the performance ends, the beauty of the quiet range stands out even to the point where the sound disappears. In addition, for "Time", the crackling sound and synthesizer sound that emerge from silence reach your ears with increased clarity, and you will be stunned by the surprise that the rather long intro emits the charm and richness of the original recording tone. The two-voice harmony between Gilmore and Wright is a little weak, but it also perfectly captures the charm of the thinness and weakness of the melody line that was unique to the first performance, and the drum beats can be heard even better. What happened is also a big topic. ``Breathe (Reprise)'' has no lyrics, and you will be able to experience the unknown rawness of the guitar using a talking modulator that appears and disappears with a beautiful sound full of euphoria. ``The Mortality Sequence'' also features an early version of Flexatone, with a sound that dismisses what has already been done, but as you may know, a problem occurred with the equipment system in the middle of this song, causing hum. Noise begins to drift, and then there is a scene in the middle of "Money" where the performance is forced to stop. This series of scenes in which each instrument stops playing due to the generation of noise has been revived with a vivid sound image that has never been experienced before, and you can be present at the scene with the original documentary sound of the original recording. ``Atom Heart Mother'' is a substitute performance because ``Madness'' could not be performed completely, but the ambiguity of the performance sound has been removed by the sharply honed restoration of the quiet range, and the original sound is dynamic. You are sure to be intoxicated by the blend of pleasure and euphoria. "Careful With That Ax, Eugene" starts with a long mic test by Roger called "One, Two" as if confirming the demodulation of the equipment, and each floating sound has a solid response to the core, and it's not overwhelming until the middle part. The feeling of occlusion and the musical expanse after the scream came out with a special quality sound image. The final part, which is longer and has more leeway than the later performances, also comes out with a wonderful sound image, so please pay attention. I think you can feel that the power of the bass range has increased significantly in “One Of These Days”. The bass drum's motive sound, "Don! Don! Don!" before the monologue, was heard twice on this day, at the beginning (1 minute 51 seconds to 59 seconds) and in the middle (5 minutes 40 seconds), and gradually the rhythm became more As the sound fades, synthesizer sound effects are inserted, and the characteristic appearance that was shown on the North American tour in the latter half of 1971 is revived even more vividly, and even after the performance, the light tuning and Gilmore playing the classic melody are even more vivid. It comes out with a beautiful tone. ``Echoes'' is a particularly catchy song due to its carefully scrutinized sound, especially in the deep tone of the organ with a passionate touch. In the second half of the albatross scene, you can feel the changes in tone more than ever as they experiment with various calls, and from there the music resurfaces and the flow towards the second half, with both the background rhythm and melody line clearly emerging. The euphoria in which the heart-pounding sound becomes a large wave is revived with a clear, bird's-eye view of the sound. In "A Saucerful Of Secrets", from around 1 minute 15 seconds to 27 seconds, there is a quick movement of two notes in the bass, and from the beginning, the tension is high and the strange intermingling and fusion of sounds progresses with a completely transparent sound image. In the scene where the rhythm begins to move (*4 minutes 08 seconds), the collision sounds of each instrument are unusually close. The sound of the guitar by the slide bar that comes in from the final part is revived with great resolution, and for some reason, at the end, Gilmour's guide vocal does not come in and the performance ends, which is an extremely rare scene in the history of the sound source. You can experience it with the best powerful transparent sound. The premiere of ``Madness'', which appeared in front of the public for the first time in history. In other words, I think it was the first time a music group that was at the cutting edge of its time was presenting an even more cutting-edge performance. Although there were some incidents that no one, including the members, expected, such as the interruption of the performance or the abandonment of the complete performance, this was an undeniable realism of the performance that became the origin of challenging the core of people's hearts with music. It's a documentary, and it will also be the ground zero for trying out the motif sounds recorded on the album live and guessing how the magic of sound was demonstrated. This latest title, which has been reviewed from the ground up and allows you to get closer to the original sound from a calm perspective, is sure to further deepen the image of the wisdom that this masterpiece emits. This is the most important title of the year, following the complete version of Hakone Aphrodite, which was released in July and sold out immediately!!
