    Saw this linked over at Stereophile forum:

    http://www.gbp-studio-acoustics.com/

    Heer is the relevant text:

    Pink Floyd" is working with Producer "James Guthrie" on a new re-mix and master of "The Wall" using the original Stephens 821B Tape Deck from Glenn Brown Productions to create the most authentic masters possible. The project will be synchronized using two machines and transfered from the original 2 inch masters on GBP Studios Stephens 821B using the original MagLink Synchronizer. (tech assistance by "Charlie Bolois" - Vertigo Recording Services Los Angeles).

    As I commented at Stereophile, I find it interesting that what is largely a Roger vehicle would be remixed w/o his involvement. Or IS Roger involved?

    James does the mixes then brings them to Roger and the rest of the members for input and approval.

    Of course...makes perfect sense. A big "duhhh" on my part. ;)

    Personally though, unless they were going to do a hi-rez 5.1, I am not sure what good could come of this. My LP and original CD of The Wall sound pretty damn good to my ears.

    I could see them doing a 5.1 of that album, but a totally new stereo remix would seem odd being that the original mixes are so good.

    Grant Life is a rock, but the radio rolled me!

    And, I wonder why they are remixing it. It's great the way it is, unless they are trying to rewrite history.

    Crossing fingers that this means that this means a high res version will be appearing.

    What a great news! :righton:

    I'd love to hear that
    I really hope it will include all those 20+ min cut at the last minute before pressing the LP, like What Shall We Do Now, the extra guitar solo at the end of Comfortably Numb, the piano intro on Thin Ice, etc, etc

    THAT I'd love to hear :wave:

    ... and the long-time awaited Wall Live 1980-1981 DVD

    Another 5.1 mix waiting for a format to be published? (see Wish You Were Here)

    Yes Grant, rewriting history is always the motive.

    I understand Mick Taylor's been brought in to overdub some guitar parts. :)

    But it might be just a way for Roger trick Dave into working with him again?

    :laugh:

    In the grand scheme of things I would think they could use the time to do more pressing things besides fooling around with an album that already sounds great. I mean the concensus on this forum of VERY finicky people is that the Floyd catalog sounds just fine.
    How about official live releases of the BBC material or other unreleased live shows. A live Animals show from '77 would suit me just fine. :)

    I am 100% not the least bit interested in a new 2ch mix of The Wall, no matter who is involved. I love it the way it is.

    A hi-rez surround mix on the other hand - now I'm interested. Just please, don't water it down with a lossy codec!

    They could be remixing this in part for use in the upcoming Wall tour if that actually happens. What's the latest on that?

    No, I think you'd be all over a remixed stereo Wall album with an additional 22min. of music cut from it in 1979.

    Interesting. I've sent an email off to Brain Damage to see if they know anything. I like the idea that it's for a Wall tour. Another possibility is a remix for a forthcoming blu-ray of the film. Maybe a Genesis style box set, with 5.1 mixes. Isn't speculation fun?

    There is a lot of potential for something triple movie+album+live boxset


    Are parts of the movie mixed in 5.1 for the music?
