The 1977 classic is back, 45 years later, with a brand new remix!

Released in 1977, Pink Floyd's classic album "Animals" has been revived 45 years later with a new remix. The new look "Animals (REMIX) / ANIMALS 2018 REMIX" will be released in CD, LP, and Blu-ray formats on September 16, 2022, and a "limited deluxe version" containing them all on October 7. This will be the first time in history that the album will be released in 5.1 surround sound (Blu-ray and SACD).

The album was remixed by Pink Floyd sound master James Guthrie in 2018 from the original master tapes, but was put on hold due to various circumstances. The iconic artwork of pigs flying over the Battersea Power Station has been redesigned, and the album will be released in the best possible form and with the finest sound possible today.

Animals" is Pink Floyd's tenth studio album, originally released in January 1977. The album was recorded by David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright at their Britannia Row studio from 1976 to early 1977, and was produced by the band members themselves. It reached a high of #2 in the UK and #3 in the U.S. and is considered one of their best albums.

Animals (REMIX)" will be released independently in CD, LP (with a spread jacket), Blu-ray, and SACD formats. In addition to the LP, CD, Blu-ray (audio), and DVD (audio), a "limited edition deluxe version" of the album will also be available, which includes a 32-page booklet in a gorgeous hardcover book featuring rare behind-the-scenes photos of the album cover photo shoot, live performances, and merchandise from the era. The Blu-ray and DVD will also include a stereo 5.1 surround remix (by James Guthrie) and the original 1977 stereo mix. The album artwork has been completely redesigned for this release.

Animals" was a concept album focusing on the socio-political situation in Britain in the mid-1970s, and developed into a scathing critique of social problems and moral decay, using the human world as a metaphor for animals. 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 the "dogs" as business bosses fattened by money and power over 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 the two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station, was conceived by Roger Waters, a longtime Pink Floyd collaborator. The cover was conceived by Roger Waters and designed by Storm Torgerson of Hypnosis Studios, a longtime Pink Floyd collaborator. For this new release, Aubrey "Poe" Powell, who partnered with Storm Torgerson at Hypnosis, has redesigned it. The Battersea Power Station has undergone extensive redevelopment in recent years, and during the renovation Aubrey Powell photographed the building from a new perspective and reworked 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, we kept Pink Floyd's somewhat somber message. True to the message of the album, we used a George Orwell-esque animal theme and "Algie" the pig.

Released in 1977, Pink Floyd's classic "Animals" was remixed for the first time from the original master tapes by Pink Floyd sound man James Guthrie. The iconic artwork of pigs flying over the Battersea Power Station has also been redone, and the album has been brought to life in the best possible way and with the best possible sound. Animals" was a concept album focusing on the socio-political climate of mid-1970s Britain, a departure from the style of the band's earlier work. It developed the metaphor of the human world as an animal into a concept that was a scathing critique of social problems and moral decay. Inspired by George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the work depicts people from different walks of life as animals, with the "pigs" (the powerful) at the top of the social chain, a flock of emotionless "sheep" (the workers) at the bottom who must do as they are told, and the "dogs" as business bosses 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.
