Thank god for this remaster, Sep 27 2011
By visual-j - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (Audio CD)
Being a Pink Floyd fan since the 1970s, I've amassed a huge collection of their music. I remember being really excited for this album when it hit in 1987. At the time, it was quite controversial being the first album without Roger Waters. As much as I hate to say this, this album needed remastering from the day it was released. Even the "remaster" that was included in the original Shine On boxed set didn't sound as good as it should have. Thankfully this re-release fixes that. Gone is the muddy, bled-together sound, replaced by crystal clear bliss. Nothing seems buried in the mix this time around. The subtleties are all there, so slap on the headphones and enjoy!

A favorite of mine, Sep 27 2011

Maybe I belong in Pink Floyd Fan Jail after saying this, but on the day the reissues are released, the first one I sprung for was "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". Basically because it's one that I never bothered to upgrade from cassette until now but also because it's a damn good album too."Signs Of Life" leading into "Learning To Fly" is just a great album moment from my youth. "Lapse" was the first Floyd album I remember coming out after being introduced to their old stuff as a youngster. As the tape deck was phased out, so was this album. So I'm listening to it for the first time in a good five years, possibly more.
No, it's not "Wish You Were Here" but it was the Pink Floyd that was around when I was growing up and I very much enjoy listening to this one again.

Much improved with this remaster (2011 remaster), Oct 9 2011

The album tht causes the most devisiveness among Floyd fans. There are plenty of anlayses in the other reviews regarding the merits of this record. Suffice it to say that, yes, David gilmour has committed a few musical crimes on this album. But he's also created some brilliant moments as well, and this is quite a worthy album, whether you want to listen to it as a genuine Pink Floyd album or as a glorified solo effort. And I would say that this album is less of a solo effort than "The Final Cut" was).I mostly want to concentrate on the remaster here. I have owned every version of this CD, starting with its release in 1987. In fact, this was one of the first CDs I ever owned. But I think it took a while for producers and engineers to really learn how to use the digital medium, as this record (and others recorded in this era) have always sounded a bit "thin" and compressed to my ear. With this new remaster, they finally got it right. Now there's definitely an element of "loudness" to this particular remaster -- more so than the other albums in this 2011 batch. But that's because there are songs on this album that NEED to be loud...specifically "Learning to Fly," "One Slip," "On The Turning Away" and "Sorrow." And it's here that I hear the most improvement, not just in the volume, but in a wider stereo mix, with a more pronounced, defined bottom end. In short, it sound as if the engineers FINALLY learned how to mix for the digital medium.
In fact, the only real flaws I hear are the dated 80s drums, with the snare that echoes forever. But remastering won't fix that. All in all, better results than I expected, given the relative recent recording of this album. Improvements are definitely on par with most of the other records in this set of remasters, so if you were happy with the results on "Animals" and "Meddle," and if you liked this record in the first place, then this purchase should be a no-brainer.
