Pink Floyd hi-rez 5.1 usb (experimental release)

I know guys around here are always interested in new, weird and wonderful developments. I happened to see this just now. I don't know how kosher it is, but for those interested

One thing that struck me is Animals must be done, as Dogs is on here.

 

9. In the Flash

 

Looks pretty much unauthorized to me. The card's artwork looks messed up and unprofessional.
Also, nobody has hand on the Wall surround tracks except James Guthrie. Then the typo in the tracklist (In The Flash). I smell 'fake'.

[Edit:] Oh my god... "Pink Floyd Limited Addition High Definition Music Card Experimental Release".
And the item is in Amazon's 'Movies' section. Should I laugh or what?

 

The product description is super confusing and there is this weird disclaimer:

"Disclaimer: Experimental Releases of Major Artists Featuring on this page Produced For Market Research and Development only and Not Pretending to be a Finished Product, All rights are Assured in Proposed Limitations."

 

Lots of prosaic copy in the product description. Just in case it all disappears into the bit-bucket at some point, I'll re-post it here (now) -- for posterity...

There also one for Michael Jackson too -- with nearly all the same copy...

I don't really understand a "music card" unless they're selling 5.1 music as downloads, which would be amazing, but....why would I need a card for that?

 

There's a livestream for those 'HD music card' reviews on YouTube, coming in December 30:

 

Like I say, not sure if it's Kosher, but it was interesting to see it there.

Please don't think I was saying it is something great

 

And George Michael as well. More hit songs on that one versus catalog tracks.

 

This looks like the beginning of the end for physical media. The pay to play

You'll need INTERNET you'll need tidal or whatever subscription fee...then on top of that you'll need a per album music card file....
Me refuse to participate
**** this

 

I don't think this has anything to do with physical media, it in itself would technically be physical media.
I was more interested in whether any of our resident thread wanderers knew whether this is something real. or a scam.
Physical media will be around for a good while yet

 

The first part is fine with me. It's the card thing that is confusing.

But then again, this is a "hypothetical product" that has little chance of being brought to market and less chance of succeeding, to be filed next to digital compact cassettes and slotMusic in the recycle bin of the music industry's bad ideas. So let's settle down.

 

Hot air.

Alexander Golberg Jero Projecting 2.5 Billion Growth for MediaInVision PLC within the Next 10 Years

This looks like more info, and yes this, apparently famous, person is looking to enter a new piece of media into the market

 

Google the guy's name for a laugh. If you're a celebrity, business person or political figure, he's ready to help protect your good name, or something.

 

Sounds to me like a guy who processed a few tracks with some sort of 2.0 to 5.1 (or more) algorithm, like TC Electronics Unwrap, and wants to make some money.
Can’t be legit.

 

The question is, does he actually have permission of the artists and estates to release their works in that 'format'?
I doubt the (ex)Floyd members or the MJ Estate would be really up for that.

 

That is the main thing that struck me as odd. The band themselves can't seem to agree on what to release and all of a sudden there is this usb with songs the band hasn't released yet.

My understanding is there are some connected people on this forum, perhaps they can shoot this down, or confirm it is a licensed legit operation

 

Now wondering if this is for streaming or are they selling music files on a usb drive???
Questions and lots of them

Stay tuned folks

 

If it is legit, they are selling music files on usb sticks and suggesting it is the future of music.

 

Okay, think I still don't get. Is it USB sticks? Blu-rays? Or cards for activating something? Confusing as hell...
I hope that around late December (when the livestream is on) it turns out it was a joke after all.

 

I think it is a card that has a small USB connection that flips out to insert in a computer.

 

In addition to "Plays on all USB capable video playback devices", the Product details clearly states:
Number of discs: 1
DVD Release Date: ...

Oh, it's also listed as a Blu-ray.

And if that's not enough, it lists Pink Floyd as an actor.

All this for $79? I'm in!

 

I wouldn't stick that USB into my computer if you paid me $79. I'll wait for the Animals Immersion box to complement the DSOTM/WYWH boxes I already own, thanks
