Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Rar Files

The new Immersion Box delivers the ultimate Dark Side of the Moon listening experience across 6 discs So, after almost six months of anticipation, expectation and speculation, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion Box Set has finally arrived. This most celebrated of albums was reissued for it’s 20th anniversary in 1993, but in those days putting a newly remastered CD in a bespoke box with a few nicely designed ‘art cards’ was considered a deluxe treatment. Ten years later, for it’s 30th birthday, a new audio format – SACD or Super Audio CD – allowed Pink Floyd/EMI to present to us a superb high-res surround sound version of the album. This was a truly incredible mix, although, it has to be said if you didn’t have an SACD player and a surround sound set-up (the majority), then you had to be content with another stereo remaster (hidden on a different ‘layer’ of the hybrid SACD) and another rejigged prism on the front cover (stained glass window effect). For that reason, and the fact that it was just one (SA)CD packaged in a standard jewel case, the fabulous-ness of this 2003 reissue was missed by most.

[singlepic id=445 w=320 h=240 float=right] Having reissued the album numerous times, it’s highly unlikely that another anniversary issue was going to pass muster, unless it was going to be a just a little bit special. So here we are, on The Dark Side of the Moon‘s 38th birthday(!), with a massive box full of goodies including three CDs, two DVDs and a blu-ray disc. It’s time for Immersion. The box itself, is beautiful, and very sturdy.

Yeah I know, there's already so many of these around, but I've thrown in a lot of extras in this discography of Pink Floyd. First off, all the studio albums are from the Discovery Box Set. Second, I've also included all 3 Immersion Box Sets (albeit without the DVDs).

It’s around 11.5 inches square, so should fit reasonably well on the shelf with any vinyl you have in your collection. The newly designed (and multiplied) prism graphic is spot varnished, giving a high quality finish and appearance. A layer of thick foam protects some of the contents inside, and stops things moving around too much when in transit. There are plenty of trinkets and fluff in this box, including marbles, coasters, and a scarf.

I’m sure I speak for many when I say that I’d much rather see the time, money (no pun intended) and effort that has gone into creating these items, channeled into another disc of music or video. Alternatively, we could have lived without the gimmicks and had a cheaper box to purchase.

On to the music. CD 1 is The Dark Side of the Moon, the album by Pink Floyd. The reason we are here, in case you’d forgotten. Or is it? Few people will have bought this box to hear The Dark Side of the Moon, played in 2-channel stereo from a CD. If that is the height of your ambition, then there are more economical solutions, specifically, the newly remastered one disc Discovery Edition. No, we are here, immersing ourselves, for everything BUT the standard studio version of The Dark Side of the Moon. So let’s skip the album, put those marbles to one side and get straight on to the heart of the matter – demos, live tracks, an “early version” of the album, a “quad” mix, session tracks, tour films and live footage – all previously unreleased.

Disc 2 CD 2 contains a live rendition of the whole album. The performance dates from November 1974 when the band were undertaking a short British tour and debuting new material. They would play The Dark Side of the Moon in full, in the second set of the evening. NME journalist Nick Kent famously wrote a scathing review of one of the concerts describing the performance as “facile and soulless”. Understandably, this rather harsh assessment did not go too well with the band, although decades later Nick Mason did admit that “some of the criticisms were valid”.

'We made significant improvements to our GIS importing functionality. 'In 1.8, we wanted to create an application that was as easy to pick up for users of Photoshop or Maya, but still have the control and detail artists require to visualize their ideas. Cityscape software. Says Steve Rotenberg, PixelActive CEO. We're very happy with the result and look forward to our users' feedback.' Simulation companies, video game developers, and urban planners all see the market demand for larger environments.

Don’t let that put you off this live disc though. A composite of a couple of different nights, most will never have heard this and it’s very exciting and quite refreshing to hear this sonic masterpiece with the inevitable rough edges that a live gig brings.
