Pink Floyd - Animals remix (September 2022)

[chesterbells]

It's ironic that in 1977 when Johnny Rotten was calling them old farts Pink Floyd was doing more sophisticated attacks on society than any punk band and Roger Waters was actually spitting at his own fans for being arseholes

I also recall the irony of Neil Young referencing Rotten in his classic My My/Hey Hey.

Just had a listen to Dogs on the headphones from that upload @Hart of the Matter and it sounds marvellous doesn’t it?
A lot of detail revealed, or maybe it was just that I was listening intently. Those vocal refrains/echoes on the closing section sound incredible, and earlier in the track I’m sure I can hear percussion that I’ve never noticed before.
It needed to be a great track Dogs as it fills nearly half the run time; (was a pretty short length album wasn’t it), but Dogs manages to pull it off and then some.

they may have been, but hiding in plain sight don't work
bob dylan was protesting 10 years earlier
ethos, attitude, mindset
by the way don't mind floyd but punk no

So what is punk?
It lasted about 18 months. Sex pistols, Sham 69, Undertones, Stiff Little fingers, Banshees, Penetration, mainly appealing to disaffected middle class kids. It was product led. Designer dissatisfaction. A capitalised version of American bands such as MC5, Stooges, Velvets and New York Dolls. Just not as good or real.

..... But Stranglers (no), Damned (no) Clash (not by a mile).

Saw John Lydon talk on tour a few months ago. What a right wing reactionary biggot. Thatcherite to the core. Punk was not protest it was self realisation for good or bad (selfish) reasons.

Like I said. Animals has more venom and vitriol in the lyrics than any punk album. Pointed and precise in its targets... And it landed in the same era, hence the tongue in cheek reference that some do not seem to have grasped.

I assume Rogers had nothing to do with this? They’ve done a Jason Newsted on him… the bass is non-existent

Punk is as much about a style of music as it is about being angry and protesting. Most artists who have used music to protest ain't classed as punk acts. That song is not a punk song(unless it changed completely once my boredom had set in and I turned it off)

Surely there's already a thread or 3 to bang on about prog rock and Floyd...

not pink floyd not musically anyway
punk aka 76/77 was because of the unattainable overblown prog rock of floyd and the like
i'm not saying they didn't have something to say but the kids on the street didn't care they wanted something different something with attitude
floyd were clever technical musicians

Shhhhhh.

It's a brilliant remix. The keyboards sound a lot better, the guitar sounds more 'raw' than the original. I didn't expect it to be better but it really is. I have the original but will be getting the remix

Like some Floyd stuff but fuck me that was tedious, gave up after 2 mins. Glad the OP liked it though.

Sorry mate but you are so wrong…
