Pink Floyd/Germany 2.14.1981 Upgrade

Just 35 years ago this week, where were you and what were you doing? And our Pink Floyd…? Yes, 35 years ago, in 1981, was the year when the “THE WALL” performance entered its second year. The beginning of this was exactly 35 years ago this week, with the Dortmund performance in Germany held eight times in a row from February 13th to 20th, 1981. The sound source of these 8 performances, which are famous for their famous performances lined up every day, was released last year as well with special editions such as “DORTMUND 1981 3RD NIGHT” and “DORTMUND 1981 5TH NIGHT”, making it a noteworthy work that unleashes the masterpieces in the finest sound quality. It caused a huge shock to the fans. This week, just 35 years later, which can be called “Dortmund Week,” the performance on the second day, February 14th, will be revived with a transparent upper sound!! “TEAR DOWN THE WALL 1981” exists, but this work uses a different top-quality 1st Gen source. Actually, this source has only been used once in February 2012 under the title “2ND NIGHT IN DORTMUND”, but this time this original tape was transferred from scratch by a core Floyd collector living in Europe. We have created a unique and excellent upper version that has been repaired, finely polished for each scene, and thoroughly remastered. That is what this work is about, but what is most surprising is its renewed finish.This source originally has a high quality sound that seems to have been leaked in recent years, and it is extremely fresh, and the location is good because it is easy to grasp the overall sound. It was a good recording with no sense of equalization, but with this unique remaster, the crystal clear shine has been further increased, and the way the sound stands and the reverberation of the tone is even less blurred are compared to each previous release. It has been revived with such a finish that it ends the role that the board had played. Moreover, as mentioned above, this recording was only used in 2012, so it is almost unknown in the scene, so many people are surprised and wonder if such a good master is still sleeping! For example, if you are used to the special edition and listen to this “In The Flesh”, you will immediately notice that the sound has a different level of sharpness and weight. You will feel that the natural sound image that maintains a good sense of distance has become even easier to listen to with the remaster. “The Thin Ice” also has a much improved sense of clarity than the previous releases, and the musical questions floating in the quiet image are transmitted as if they were permeated. The flow of “Another Brick…Part 1-2” also has a glossy performance sound that comes out about half a step forward, and in Part 1, the reverberation of the guitar with a light delay and the thick, hard tone of the bass. Now you can enjoy it in a more vivid appearance than ever before. Part 2 also has more low-frequency components, and the fusion of the children’s chorus and performance sound that comes in the middle, and the edges of the sound, the outline of the sound is even clearer, and the percussive expression of the drums is even better than the previous sound. A solid hitting sound will come out. “Mother” is a song that allows you to reconfirm how much clarity and depth of range has been increased by this remaster. As a result, you can clearly see the perspective of the expression in the contrast between the quiet part in the first half and the dynamic performance in the middle, and “Goodbye Blue Sky” also has a dense mental expression that creates the freshest sound image ever. I’m suffocating inside. Also, the tough start of “What Shall We Do Now” is worth listening to, and you’ll be surprised by the high-resolution bass range that allows you to follow the progress of the drums and bass without crushing the thick sound at all. “Young Lust” also has a very vivid contrast between the powerful bass and the accent guitar tones, and the ominous song from “One Of My Turns” gradually changes to “Another Brick…Part”. 3″ is taking shape, and I think you will be able to grasp its musical essence in a higher quality sound. “Hey You” is a cut-in, but the sound quality is good, and the scene is vivid.The documentary quality of the sudden recording restart and the richness of the performance sound makes the listener even more excited. Masu. “Is There Anybody Out There?” also has an arpeggio that sounds at a reasonable distance, vividly conveying the sound of the scene, and “Nobody Home” has Roger’s enveloping singing and a figure extending straight from the venue as it is. It will be delivered directly to your ears. In “Comfortably Numb”, the scene where the vocals switch to Gilmore appears in an even clearer sound image at the beginning, and the guitar solo also comes out with a very close upper sound. In addition, the female chorus can be seen more clearly than on the previous release, so you can enjoy the breadth of the singing and the musical intonation more deeply. There is a cut after the final song, but it does not affect the next song, “The Show Must Go On,” and you can enjoy the dazzling sound of the chorus while maintaining the high sound quality up to this point. Please rest assured. In “Run Like Hell,” the dazzling sound of Gilmour’s unique cutting comes out in a more lustrous and beautiful sound than ever before, but at the same time, the rich sound of the rhythm is also attractive, and the movement of the song is very appealing. I think you can clearly see that each one stands out from the previous releases. Also, this source does not have the unsophisticated fade-out caused by tape splicing that occurred with the song introduction like in the old Zeus sound source, so it is easy to listen to. On the other hand, “Waiting For The Worms” is partially missing the master, so it switches to the old Zeus version sound source from around 00:30 to 4:19, but the sound image matches the atmosphere of the song, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort at all. is. In addition, “The Trial” also has a transparent sound that conveys the flow and impact until the wall collapses, coming out about half a step earlier than the existing gift edition, and “Outside The Wall” has a high-resolution sound like a sound board. It is also worth noting that the show ends with this. It has been 35 years since THE WALL, where the players separated the music from the focus on performance by separating the walls, and by doing so, the listeners were forced to learn to maintain a modest distance from the music. Even with such large-scale music, I am once again amazed at the compositional ability and performance that keep the listener’s concentration, and the musical questions that Floyd was posing at that time are so amazing. Bringing it back to life with the remastered sound of “Dortmund Week” can also be said to be a unique gift suitable for Valentine’s Day 35 years later. Please give this work a try this weekend and be excited about the possibilities of this sauce, which was little known until now.
