EMI Music: Officieel persbericht Pink Floyd P.U.L.S.E

16 JANUARY 2006
THE DVD OF THEIR LAST CONCERT.

Van EMI Music ontvingen we een officieel persbericht over de op handen zijnde release van P.U.L.S.E van Pink Floyd. Al lange tijd wordt over deze release gesproken en gespeculeerd. De release is misschien wel de meest besproken release van de afgelopen periode en een release waar velen van ons reikhalzend naar uitzien. Lang bleef onduidelijk wanneer de DVD nu eindelijk zou uitkomen. Ook de specificaties waren nog niet helder. Maar aan het wachten lijkt nu een definitief einde te komen met dit persbericht van EMI.

16 januari 2006 zal P.U.L.S.E uitkomen op een dubbel DVD met het concert zoals Pink Floyd dat in 1994 in het Londense Earls Court gaf. Naast het concert staat op beide DVD\'s nog een fraaie hoeveelheid extra videomateriaal.
Het beeld is onder handen genomen door Storm Thorgersen, voor een 5.1 surround geluidsmix zorgde James Guthrie.

Het bericht is (helaas) Engelstalig, maar we hebben gemeend dit in zijn totaliteit te moeten plaatsen.

On 16 January 2006, Pink Floyd will release their much anticipated DVD, PULSE, on EMI Records. This landmark release, captures the last Pink Floyd Division Bell tour in 1994, and was filmed at London’s Earls Court during their recordbreaking 14 night residency. The two disc release contains the full concert performance with rare backstage footage and previously unseen extras.

There are many elements that make this Pulse release a must-have, but top of the list is that here, for the first time ever, is a live filmed performance of Pink Floyd’s towering, seminal album, The Dark Side of the Moon. The album in its glorious entirety is performed by David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright during the second half of the concert and appears on disc 2. Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), High Hopes and Learning to Fly are some of the classic tracks on disc 1 with never before seen rarities such as Bootlegging the Bootleggers and behind the scenes footage showing a snapshot of life on the road with one of the world’s biggest rock bands.

The stunning Pulse DVD graphics are designed by longtime Pink Floyd collaborator, Storm Thorgersen who has made the DVD look as good as it sounds. It is mixed in mind expanding 5.1 surround sound and digitally remastered by James Guthrie. The DVD includes some of The Dark Side of the Moon original screen films used in the 1970’s concerts which were never filmed, as well others remade for the 1994 tour.

The Pulse DVD vividly captures the essence of Pink Floyd, both as a live band and as a visual tour de force, qualities that were both well to the fore at their show-stopping appearance at this year’s Live 8.
