PINK FLOYD & The Stringman Absolutely Ambient'
NDSCD 001 New Directions Matrix Disc: SDI 001
(P) 1994 Made in EEC
The Ultimative Remix Collection
|

Comments:
The majority of this CD has synths and keyboards in the fore while sampling from the original songs appear mostly in the background.
It has a strange psychedelic feel to it with eerie repetitive lyrics and multiple sample overlays but the
synths do become repetitive at times.
All mixes on this CD are unique to this disc and are not duplicated from any other Floyd remixe CD.
Technical and creative know-how by: The Stringmann

______________________________________________________________________________
This is a collection of Floyd tracks remixed together.
These tracks are not repeated on any other remix collection in the same form.
Like the title suggests, this ambient interpretation of Floyd tracks lives up to its name.
The eight minute version of "Echoes" is quite good and much better than the one on Meddle remix with
nice manipulation of the keyboards and guitars. "Sheep" is entirely mind blowing.
This remixed version is hellish and menacing.
Definitely a step above the other remixed version.
A 16 minute version of "Another Brick in the Wall" sparkles with lots of layered sound that is tastefully done.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" lives up to its ambient potential. "Time" is much better than the other remixed version with samples from the Pulp Fiction movie.
A drum machine throughout the song with samples from "Is There Anybody Out There" is injected throughout.
This is an effectual and strong ending to the disc.
Definite ear candy: A
These are all the known Floyd remixes available.
IF THE PERSON WHO PUT THESE TOGETHER IS READING THIS REVIEW, THEN TAKE NOTE!
When are the remixes for The Wall, The Final Cut, and early albums like More, Umagumma, Saucerful of Secrets, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and Relics going to surface?
I am sure the remix makers could do some pretty mind blowing stuff with the early albums.
Remixed version's of Floyd solo material like Nick Mason's Profiles, Water's Music From the Body, and Rick Wrights Wet Dream would also be nice.
How about it? David Gilmour has gone on record as saying that he does not care whether Floyd sounds like The Orb or not.
Now, with these remixes, people no longer have a need to complain.
