We recently reported on the intriguing sounding Pink Floyd Project, being performed at the Klara Festival in Brussels, Belgium, on September 9th. With much thanks to Charles over at FloydStuff.com, we have this review of the event for you. You can also listen to the evening's performances through this Real Audio stream, as a 32K Windows Media file stream here, or as a 96K Windows Media file stream here. Apart from the beginning, which uses a collage of Pink Floyd music, the Hermes Ensemble's PF tracks kick off around an hour and a quarter through the stream, which lasts for three hours in total.

At the start of August, an interview with former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters was posted in Dan's Papers - a Bridgehampton, New York publication. The full interview, by Steve Matteo, which can currently be read here is an interesting look at Roger, his career, and his forthcoming opera, Ca Ira.

The famous Christies Auction house are hosting another of their Rock and Pop Memorabilia auctions, where fabulous items of rock history are sold for not inconsiderable sums of money... The latest sale, on September 29th, at their South Kensington, London, branch, includes an original Syd Barrett painting, and six great Pink Floyd flavoured items, some of which has had the Brain Damage office salivating!

We heard a rumour a few days ago, concerning the potential release of Pink Floyd's classic albums Animals (1977) and Wish You Were Here (1975) on the new surround sound SACD (Super Audio CD) format. Well respected website musictap.net today also mention this possibility, stating that they have heard from "a very reliable source that James Guthrie is now in possession of Pink Floyd analogue masters for Wish You Were Here and Animals. We're talking 5.1 hi-rez mixes for SA-CD here folks. Excited?"

Of course, as mentioned when we reported on the 2005 Pink Floyd calendar, next year is the 30th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, so an appropriate time for a polish and remaster, especially into glorious 5.1 surround sound!

It is good to hear that Animals is also under serious consideration (or even hard work!) as many have expressed disappointment over the sound of the album since it was released on CD. Obviously, this news is far from being confirmed but we will keep on top of this, and as/when we get more information, we will let you know. Our thanks to Ben for tipping us off about this...
