The new version of the 1977 album, one of the less accessible of the group, was scheduled for 2018
Nothing is easy when it comes to Pink fluid and his legacy, which explains why the remix of animals (1977) promised for 2018 sees the light only now.
the guitarist David Gilmour refused to approve the album’s liner notes, according to Floyd’s songwriter and singer, Ruggero Waters, who agreed to release the remix without liner notes. So fans will be left alone with the music, now for the first time in 5.1 surround, a freshly reworked cover, a 32-page booklet with unreleased photos, but nothing of the story. There are no bonus tracks or unreleased tracks either.
animals is a concept album very similar to its predecessor, I wish you were hereand with The wallwhich would be released two years later.
Freely inspired by The animal revolutionin George Orwell, the disc relates animals to different types of people: pigs, sheep and dogs. The three main songs last over ten minutes and are framed by two slightly different versions of Pigs on the wingwhich take about a minute and a half.
animals it is a dark and grim critique of capitalism and greed, making it perhaps one of Floyd’s less accessible releases. However, its themes seem as relevant today as they were when it was first released, and the remix adds a new flare to its sound.
Floyd’s legions of fanatics are sure to hear nuances in new mixes that will go unnoticed by listeners for the first time. But it is, at least, a good opportunity for those who don’t hear animals for years (or maybe decades) to give the new version a chance. / Translation by Renato Prelorentzou
