Released on March 1, 1973, The Dark Side of the Moon turned 50 in 2023 and is one of the most important albums in rock history. While playing the album on Dolby Atmos Immersive Studio (via NME), In London, mason revealed how he had already heard excerpts from the re-recording and was full of praise for waters.
“I heard the rumor that roger worked on the version itself. There was this suggestion that this would be a bad thing and roger would face the original version and so on,” stated the musician. “In fact, he sent me a copy of what he was working on and I replied: ‘Annoyingly, it’s absolutely brilliant!'”
It was and is. It’s nothing to spoil the original, it’s an interesting addition to the thing.
Furthermore, Nick Mason also explained why he supports the concept of revisiting classic music and revamping it: “One of the things I like about any kind of existing music is to develop it or find some extra quality in it. I like this idea of developing music rather than trying to keep it exactly as it was.”
