Animals : 2018 Remix (1977)

"The remix by longtime Floyd engineer James Guthrie surfaces layers, textures and nuance of Animals that one could only speculate were there in the first place. It’s always a sonic-enhanced adventure with Pink Floyd, and previous remixes tend to reveal buried intricacies. Here, Gilmour’s guitar is brighter, Waters’ bass boomier, and Nick Mason’s drumming punchier. The reverb of the vocals seems to ring out a little more as well. What’s most evident, however, is the maneuverability of Rick Wright’s keyboards. The subtle touch Wright offered tends to get overlooked, but the remix demonstrates just how essential his various voicings and tones were to Pink Floyd’s sound. One sweep through “Sheep,” and you feel the crispness of Wright’s approach to the Fender Rhodes as it cozies up to your ear drums. When Gilmour’s guitars come crashing through, you may feel compelled to raise a glass and salute your sound system." (vintagerock.com)|
