Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones) [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 produced 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.”

9:35 the point when the screaming guitar kicks in, gives me goosebumps every time.

[GilmurWaters]

I didn’t realise how amazing that bass line is, absolutely stunning.

7:21 You can hear the rattle from Nick's snare from the bass coming from Roger's bass amp. This remix is so clear!

Just brilliant...and David's ferocious solo at the end caps it perfectly.

[lpckmdt]

Every single sound is perfect..could not have been done any better. Masters of music.

[arthurgutierrez]

Sounds like Roger's bass recording got tightened up and brought further the the foreground and it's awesome. Easier to hear how funky this song really is. Love these little tweaks.

[georgepetrie]

This album has got me through really tough times, and it's strange, but it provided me with insight into many things. Human nature being one of them.

[Ant-mogl]

God, that bass guitar... (and everything of course)

[David.diaz.]

Everybody talks about the bass and other things, but what about Richard Wright sounds?? It's just amazing and clean 👌🏻👌🏻

[geoffwillingham]

Dave's bass playing on this track is awesome, 💯❤️

[infomanz]

I can still hear this sing in my head from the 1977 Cleveland show where it was done in quad...absolutely my all time favorite

[rebeccawagner]

Pink Floyd, is just way before their time. They sang about things that most people didn't know was going on. They opened up a whole new world 🌎 of music that held your attention 🎉🎉
