Steven Wilson's remixed Floyd's Live at Pompeii for IMAX and presumably eventual home release, the way the press release is worded.

https://pinkfloyd.film/synopsis/

I'm hoping that an eventual home release includes the original cut of the film, which I believe I've probably complained about in this thread before

(basically, the original release is a fantastic, no-nonsense, bare-bones affair, one hour of floyd, gently caress you if you don't like it - the 1972 re-release is where they add in all the abbey road twaddle, and while the actual dark side recording footage is interesting, it and especially the horrible interview segments drag down what's otherwise a top-tier concert film experience. yes, thank you for a solid three minutes of roger complaining about how badly one of their records was mastered. compelling stuff. currently the only way to get the original release is in the bonus features of the director's cut DVD from the early 00s. even worse is what ended up on the early years box set blu-ray, which is the horrible director's cut (lots of random space footage and CGI taking the place of the actual footage of the band and pompeii and things) horribly chopped to 16:9 with basically no thought given to how that would look. ALSO they drop madamoiselle nobs entirely, and take the two halves of echoes, which bookend the original film, and cram them together into one performance. it's ridiculous.)

Burning Shed has preorders up for the blu-ray and it includes the original unalloyed concert as a bonus feature, Echoes bookending. No Mademoiselle Nobs on track list though, it's on the CD release though.

Saw them tonight and it was sick!!! No Gates but I still lost my mind

Just bought my ticket for July.

Unfortunately Ticketmaster is the only system the venue uses, but drat Jon Anderson is gonna be 90 minutes from my house in a beautiful historic auditorium. Tickets seem to be moving pretty fast. Guess redneck hell has a few other weirdos like me.

Old Town Road to EGOT

The new Mars Volta album is out today. I know it's unreasonable to expect bands to keep the same sound forever, especially after like 25 years, but I wish this sounded more like what they used to do at least. Whatever sound they went for on this new album is very much not my thing and I'll probably forget it even exists.

It's also wild to me that they debuted this whole album opening for Deftones, because the vibes are so very different. I wonder what Deftones fans who went to those shows must have thought of this. I'm a fan of both bands, and I probably would have been disappointed if this is all TMV played at their show. It's a good thing I caught them live a couple years ago when they were primarily playing old stuff on that tour. That sounded great!

They hated it based on the 10 or so tweets I saw screenshots of on r/themarsvolta.

I'm really digging their new sound. I'm totally on board with these more chill releases and really excited to see how this era of TMV progresses. I already feel like the progression from selftitled to Lucro Sucio shows immense promise for the future of the band.

The explosive sound of past TMV is truly something special though and it's hard for me to fault anyone for wanting more of that.

It doesn't have the bombast of the early stuff, but to me it feels like Frances the Mute in terms of writing and the weird soundscapes and stuff, but with the more restrained sound of the last album. I've been digging the hell out of it, tbh
