Description:

Animals" was a concept album focusing on the socio-political situation in Britain in the mid-1970s, and developed into a concept that used the human world as a metaphor for animals and a scathing critique of social problems and moral decay. Inspired by George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the album depicts various classes of people as animals, with the "pigs" (the powerful) at the top of the social chain, a flock of emotionless "sheep" (workers) at the bottom who have no choice but to do as they are told, and "dogs" as business bosses who are fattened by money and their power to control others. Although 45 years have passed since 1977, the stories told in the album resonate with today's world, where social and economic conditions are very similar to those of that time. The all-too-famous and iconic album cover, featuring a balloon of a pig (now known as "Algie") floating between two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station, was conceived by Roger Waters and designed by Storm Torgerson of Hypnosis Studios, a long-time Pink Floyd collaborator. It was designed by Storm Torgerson.For this new release, Aubrey "Poe" Powell, who partnered with Storm Torgerson at Hypnosis, has redesigned the building. The Battersea Power Station has undergone extensive redevelopment in recent years, and during the renovation Aubrey Powell photographed the building from a new perspective, reworking the original board design in a striking way. He explains. The original 1977 disc was so iconic, it was an art form in itself. I took the opportunity to update it, and although it was a formidable task in a sense, I photographed it anew to reflect the changing world. And by using modern digital coloring techniques, I kept Pink Floyd's somewhat somber message.True to the message of the album, it utilizes a George Orwell-esque animal theme and "Algie" the pig."(2/2)[CREDIT] Original 1977 Stereo Mix by Brian HumphreysAssistant Engineer:Peter JamesMixing Location:Britannia Row 2018 Remix: 5.1 Surround & Stereo Mix by:James GuthrieAssistant Engineer:Joel Plant
