Pink Floyd fans, Limited Ed CD Hybrid disc

I read an article/interview about the guy who did the new disc re-master. Based on what he said, the new one should sound better. Like the late Beatles and other late 60s stuff, DOTM was supposedly recorded by linking multiple 4-track recorders together and bouncing tracks (layering tracks upon other tracks, meaning some tracks were not first generation at mixdown). This guy apparently got ahold of all of the seperate tracks, synced them together in the computer, and doing so made a new master instead of using the old one which included bounced tracks. I am not sure if this was done on the 2-channel mix or only the surround mix, but it seems like a lot of attention was paid to detail in this version. If the above is true, it *should* sound better than previous versions (assuming he did a good job)

Hi Eagle...the MoFi version is probably softer because it hasn't been compressed as much in the masterng. Despite their faults, that was one of the areas where MoFi usually got it right.

And Ben...the article that I mentioned above was in an HT magazine and it was all about the surround mix, so it probably didn't apply tot the two channel. The guy needed to have everything seperate so he could pan them to different channels. He couldn't make do with multiple sounds sharing one track. I can't say I care much about the surround / 5.1 thing (and I don't see myself getting into it anytime this decade), but it was an interesting read. Most of it was about how hard he tried to keep the "feel" og the original album while transferring it to multpile channels.
