Pink Floyd/Germany 11.29.1970 Upgrade

There are many titles that convey Floyd’s early performances to the present, but there are not many titles that allow you to enjoy the good sound of the 1970 performance, which is known for leaving behind many great performances. Moreover, if it is from the end of the 1970s, which is highly rated by enthusiasts, unfortunately, one hand will be enough. This weekend, the final stage of Floyd’s 1970 winter European tour, the November 29th performance in Munich, Germany, will be revived as a dramatically improved version of the sound quality. This performance was released as “ZIRKUS KRONE ’70” (January 2008). At that time, there were several titles from other labels such as “ZIRKUS KRONE”, but the above title, released by a new label specializing in Floyd, corrected the pitch deviation, sound localization, and resolution that existed on the recording tape. The quality, which has been thoroughly scrutinized and corrected, has become a hot topic, and it has received high praise from specialized magazines and fans as a title that overturns all previous releases. Since then, it has remained in an unwavering position as the representative title of the European tour in the winter of 1970, but recently a new tape with good freshness and younger generation than the source used for that masterpiece was discovered, and now it is available. It is secretly attracting the attention of enthusiasts. No matter how you listen to it, the closeness and clarity of its sound is clearer than that of “ZIRKUS KRONE ’70 (*hereinafter referred to as “already released edition”), and it has a truly shocking upper feeling. This title is a new transfer from this recently discovered Gene Waka tape, and it is a shocking upper version that is full of the feeling of improved sound quality!! Used in this work and the previously released version. The original source is derived from the same very good audience recording master. However, if you listen to it closely, you will notice that the Gene Waka tape (= this work) that appeared this time, probably to save the remaining tape capacity, has editing marks in several places between songs (*These are just between songs. Cuts within songs are Since it is confirmed that there is no such thing), it seems that it has clearly followed a different route from the previously released version. However, the sound quality is overwhelming, and when you listen to it, you will be surprised at how much the sound of the previously released version lacked clarity and power. Don’t get me wrong, this is not because the quality of the previously released records was poor. I’m surprised because this source easily surpasses the sound of that excellent previously released version. However, just like with the previously released version, when we carefully examined the sound source we obtained using the latest equipment, we found some parts that required slight pitch correction and noise removal, so we made strict corrections and adjustments for those parts. has been applied. However, no excessive sound quality correction through equalization is performed, and the remastering is done so that the sound recorded on the tape reaches the ears at its highest value. However, since it is such a high-grade sound, if you actually listen to it, you will definitely be amazed at the high potential of the basic sound quality that this source has. It is also interesting that on this day they played all the major repertoire that was being shown at the time. Seven of the nine songs are over 10 minutes long, so they are worth listening to, and there are also some outstanding performances that can be said to be the culmination of all the expressions that have been accumulated over the past year since the first performance of the year on January 10th. It has become an attraction. From the introduction of “Astronomy Domine”, which opened the album, you can instantly tell that the sound is different from the sound you have experienced on the previous releases. Whereas the previous sounds were mild and moderately rounded, the sound of this work is tough and full of loudness, and above all, the sound image itself is closer. You should understand. The mid to low range has also become thicker (*This is not the sound pressure boost due to remastering, but the natural thickness of Gene Waka), and the rhythm jumps out with direct power, making the impression you receive from the performance This makes it even more challenging. “Fat Old Sun” also has a clearer cymbal sound and vocals, and as the groove increases from 3 minutes 37 seconds onwards, the power and response of the sound from the guitar movement, and it jumps out from 10 minutes 02 seconds onwards. The dialogue between the hook’s intense drums and organ will also appear in a richer and richer sound than ever before, so please take a look. In “Cymbaline”, you can clearly hear the organ and cymbals from 3 minutes 53 seconds, as well as Roger’s regular sighs, and you will be trembling with the excitement of these three-dimensional interplay at close range. As the song progresses to the second half, the guitar and vocals sing loudly, and the sound image gives a sense of the depth of the chiseled sound. In “Atom Heart Mother,” the theme presentation section at the beginning vividly shows how the song moves dynamically. You can clearly follow the way the guitar, which produces a cutting sound, moves around a wide range, and the harmonies that develop for a full 5 minutes from 5 minutes 51 seconds to 10 minutes 51 seconds in the middle part have a much closer voice and a much higher luster. You should feel that the sound image is completely different from the sound image that came out from the previous release. Please enjoy the power of the gigantic music undulating violently towards the coda with this sound image. “The Embryo” includes the cries of an albatross that would later be carried over to “Echoes”, but the overall sound is very close. It is interesting that the changes and surprises in the song’s expression during the transition period of the image are conveyed even more realistically because of the sense of clarity and clarity. The contrast between the freshness of the floating singing voice and the fiercely attacking ensemble as a whole is more pronounced than on the previous release, so you will be able to hear the sonic activities that make up this day’s performance more clearly. “Green Is The Colour” has a soft musical idea with a transparent sound image that further stimulates the listener’s imagination. Please experience the comfort of a rich, rich tone that feels like the afternoon sun, with a warm tone and shaded expression that runs through with a clean tone without any harshness. In “Eugene…”, the visual acoustic poetry unfolds in a deep sound image, and you will be able to experience once again the fun of following the composition of the song as the sound changes like a racing lantern. The stifled humming and monologue blend together, and the strange sound that exists between the widely spaced sounds provokes excitement with a vividness that is incomparable to the previously released albums. Please enjoy it. In “Taiyou Hymn”, the tom sound in the midrange comes out without blurring, and the contrast with the mysterious keyboard dancing above it stands out. Also, the multi-tone progression of the guitar and bass that continues to trace the melody along with the drums appears as a massive mass of sound, but I would like you to pay attention to the fact that this sound image is also very different from the previously released version. . “Mystery” fades out just before entering the quiet development of the second half, just like the previous releases (*The fade point is at the same position as each previous release), but this is because the original master tape ends at this position. This seems to be due to the fact that this is the longest recording, so unless it appears in the recording of another source = Recorder 2, this will be the longest. However, the expressive power that led to order from chaos until reaching that point, the excitement of the day’s musical thoughts drawn with a strong touch and mysteriously melting one after another, is an order of magnitude closer to the sound than the previously released album. You will be able to fully enjoy the clarity and transparency. Please experience the vivid sonic violence driven by intellectual passion with Gene Waka’s sharp sound images. After this German tour, the band toured France and England in December, completing their 70-year career, but at this point, the only extant recording of the live performance after this performance is the last in 1970. The only performance available is the Yorkshire performance on December 22nd (as you may know, this is the famous performance where they performed “Aran’s Breakfast”). However, if you have listened to it, you will know that although it is a very valuable performance, the recording quality is better than average for a recording from the 1970s. In other words, this performance is currently the only one that allows us to get close to the performance at the end of the 1970s with a high-quality recording that makes us feel, “Wow, this is…!” Since it has become so popular, there is no way you can miss listening to it.
