4 stars Pigs on the Wing (Part1) the guitar in the back that makes you turn around, well let's watch for the differences Dogs for this sound there in front of you on the left, yes the musical space opens up, yes the voice is there in front of you, yes well I had already put the 5.1 before this reissue, so the difference is good for nitpicking; ah yes the drums are more muffled, less acute, yes I had to bring out the original album; yes the keyboards are more marked with the warm Hammond, it seems less flat; Afterwards, do I still have the same ear as the last listening which must have been more than 5 years ago? Should we stay with our current albums and not open up to new releases, since time is running out!? A good metaphysical question, look at the dog, the dogs, yes they are in the house, check that they are not pooping; yes the guitar, this guitar is ripped GILMOUR who dared and which is magnified here with these notes of his Telecaster which squirt in front of you, guaranteed sound effect; well the break yes with the reverberation, the dog barking endlessly, the drum, there you can be surprised by these sounds which really come out of the speakers to come caress your ears, listening time where we had the time; That's it, the wave picks up again, and the pleasure of hearing the fat drums, yes the sound has that little extra, then do we have to become such a perfectionist? Well shush I'm listening to David's last solo which bewitches me, ah yes all the same, and Rick's keyboard is on the other side of the room.

Pigs (Three Different Ones) is worth for the more present, percussive drums, yes I almost want to make space in my room that is to say; yes the bass sounds modern, aggressive, yes the voices ah yes there to the left behind me; well the grunts come out from everywhere, it was already the same; Well, you would think you heard them pronouncing the 'Never Surrender' of the great CHURCHILL; the vocoder voices go over my head; I feel more like I'm watching a musical fireworks show than prog rock here, but that's good too; these grunts, these voices come to attack you on your seat, while you are there in peace, let me listen to my music, 1984 I have already read it; yes which of the egg, the chicken; yes which is the extreme, the one we are talking about or the other? George is guiding us today. For the music... Roger sings well and strums well, the bass itself seems to speak about the current madness, good excellent all the same and the sheep start to bleat before their track Sheep gently, the joy of the concept album, no time to breathe; a creamy, melting rendering of the keyboard, and this bass so speaking in crescendo; 2 enjoyable minutes of a cottony intro before Roger's shouted voice on an 80's disco dub with Rick's jazzy-looking keyboard, at a rhythm that immediately makes you headbang, watch out for your neck, you're not 20 anymore ; the synth squirts, swirls, it sets fire, no need for RAMMSTEIN effects in the end, yes I haven't found anything better; ah the sound that swells and swells and the languorous keyboard that settles in; yes I must admit I didn't like this album, too linear, monolithic, too flat, yes I found that not much was happening... Yes; well sheep, the vocoder is like on the SCHULZE with Arthur BROWN who had started the song, a great, immense voice too; ah that's it we're already at the end with this rhythm guitar which sprinkles us with notes of icing sugar, ah yes the space is fuller there too, there's a difference; good concept we said, the bird comes back there with these famous sheep, maybe you who knows... Yes ORWELL was not wrong since it is still one of my bedside books; for the concept to go to the end we conclude with Pigs on the Wing (Part Two) for the outro, no for act 2 all in the acoustic beauty of this very particular, so avant- garde, so musical world that is PINK FLOYD. An acoustic that seems to be played by the speaker itself, where are we going?
