Pink Floyd - Pigs On The Wing (Part 1) [2018 Remix]

**ABOUT ANIMALS 2018 REMIX'**
The individual versions of Pink Floyd's iconic album 'Animals 2018 Remix' will be available to purchase from 16th September on CD, LP, Blu-ray and SACD in stunning 5.1 Surround Sound for the first time ever.

The Deluxe Gatefold version includes LP, CD, audio Blu-ray, audio DVD and a 32-page book. The Blu-ray and DVD audio include the 2018 remix in Stereo, 5.1 Surround (both by James Guthrie) and the original 1977 Stereo mix. The 32-page booklet features rarely seen behind the scenes photographs of the album sleeve shoot along with live images and memorabilia. The album artwork has been reimagined for this release.

Animals is a concept album, focusing on the social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from the style of the band’s earlier work. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of animals. Taking inspiration from George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals with pigs being at the top of the social chain, dropping down to the sheep as the mindless herd following what they are told, with dogs as the business bosses getting fat on the money and power they hold over the other. Although it’s been a long time since 1977, the narrative of the album still resonates today as our social and economical situation mirrors that of the time.

The album's iconic cover shows an inflatable pig (now known as Algie) floating between two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station, conceived by Roger Waters, and designed by long-time collaborator Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis Studios. For this new release, the artwork has been re-designed for the modern era by Storm’s Hipgnosis partner Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell. Taking new shots of the building as it appeared during the recent conversion work, Po experimented with new angles and produce some striking new takes on the classic original. Po elaborates: “With the original 1977 album cover being such an iconic piece of stand-alone art, I had the chance to update it, which was a rather daunting task, but Hipgnosis took the opportunity to re photograph the image to reflect a changing world, and by using modern digital colouring techniques I kept Pink Floyd’s rather bleak message of moral decay using the Orwellian themes of animals, the pig ‘Algie’, faithful to the message of the album.”

Growing up with Floyd in the 60s... ending the Floyd paradise In the mid 80s, with Roger's departure...made me look back and listen for one thousand time of all these great albums that no other came close to...and then Animals topped all that soulful journey...to become one of only few albums to be played at my funeral..and stay forever in the ether I leave behind ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Back in the 80s, a local dj would spark one up and play the entire album

[miki]

Voglio ricordare questo grande album che era il preferito di mio fratello maggiore, purtroppo lui non c'è più, ma io voglio credere che lui da lassù ancora lo ascolta..

Lyrics:

If you didn’t care —
what happened to me,
and I didn’t care —
for you,

We would zig-zag our way,
through the boredom and pain,
occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame.
And watching
the pigs on the wing.

[NothingToHide]

I love this song, was perfomed by Roger Waters in the concert "In The Flesh" CD & DVD 2000

Pink Floyd the best band ever 💚. Thank you for floydian's friday. I love this day for another pink floyd video.

The 'Animals' remix boxed set is GREAT! I have the original on vinyl, tape and CD several times over, I do first love the ORIGINAL mix for how it played beautifully in my ears for all these years. Now however with the 5.1 mix, stereo blu-ray, dvd, CD or vinyl to choose from, there is something for every discerning ear. They are all great, I may still prefer the original cut, only time will tell.

I quoted this song to Noel Pearson two weekends ago.
It is a most succinct description of the human predicament.
