In August, we revealed the upcoming release of Signal To Noise, the new studio album by twice Grammy nominated Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson [left]. The album, which is being released as both a single CD edition and a two-disc digipack deluxe limited edition with a 5.1 surround mix on DVD, appears on November 3rd (or 10th, depending on where you are in the world), 2014.

Andy's relationship with Pink Floyd began on the film soundtrack of The Wall, a relationship that continues to this day, resulting in two Grammy nominations for his work and Mix magazine's award for best live sound engineer for the Division Bell tour. He has also worked on solo albums from Roger Waters and David Gilmour, and is also engineer and a co-producer of the soon-to-be-released Pink Floyd album, The Endless River.

Shortly after breaking the news, we told you about a special opportunity to assist Andy, and the record company, Esoteric, by creating a video for them to go along with the song "The Boy in the Forest". Floyd fan Mark Duffy was the eventual winner, and his video can be seen below. Well done, Mark! It complements the music well. For more information on Andy and his music, visit AndyJacksonMusic.com which has more video content, and an album sampler.

We've been lucky enough to have a sneak preview of the whole album, and we're thoroughly enjoying it. It's a very absorbing listen, and unsurprisingly - bearing in mind Andy's pedigree (and normal employers) - it feels a very Floydian album, both in terms of production and music, in places even bringing to mind Richard Wright's Broken China amongst other things. "The Boy In The Forest", below, should give a flavour of what to expect. You can order it through the following direct links, all resulting in a small but vital contribution toward our site running costs:
