Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder

 (1988)

Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder Blu-ray delivers great video and superb audio in this excellent Blu-ray release

Delicate Sound of Thunder encapsulates a band at their incendiary best. Alongside the classic live album and full concert film (restored and re-edited from the original 35mm film and enhanced with 5.1 surround sound), included in The Later Years box set, all stand-alone editions feature 24-page photo booklets, with the 4-disc box edition including a 40-page photo booklet, tour poster and postcards. The 3LP 180-gram vinyl set features 9 songs not included on the original 1988 release of the album, while the 2CD features 8 tracks not included on its original release.

Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.0 of 5

Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Pink Floyd Records with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. While the insert booklet unfortunately doesn't provide any real technical data, I found this article in Rolling Stone that mentions a 4K restoration from "the original 35 mm film" (as the article states), though I'm assuming this master was culled from either a negative or interpositive, and not from a print (if anyone has authoritative information in that regard, Private Message me and I'll happily post an update here). This is by and large a great looking transfer, but there are some rather large variances in clarity and detail levels between the "live" concert fare and some of the cutaways to the video elements which the audience in the arena is seeing projected on various screens. The concert footage can sometimes look rather gritty, maybe even a bit noisy, when the stage is bathed in blue tones in particular (which it often is), as can be seen in several of the screenshots I've uploaded to accompany this review. Better lit material has a much more finely resolved grain field, and fine detail in particular is more consistent in these moments. A lot of the cutaway material is considerably more detailed in general, and because so much of it is in brighter lighting conditions, the palette pops with more authority. There are some very minor signs of age, with tiny white flecks and the like occasionally showing up.


Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.5 of 5

Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder features LPCM 2.0 and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks, though this is another live concert disc which has been authored to default to the stereo track, so have your remote handy if you want to experience the surround track. Both tracks offer sterling fidelity, but this is another release where I personally wish the vocals could have been mixed a bit more forward. This struck me on both tracks (often stereo iterations sound better to me in terms of vocal prioritization), so I'm assuming this was part of a deliberate choice on David Gilmour, who reportedly supervised the remix. Otherwise, there's a very nice spacious quality in the surround mix, and there is some very forceful midrange and low end (the thumping quasi-tympani at the open of Dogs of War may rattle the floorboards for some). There is a nice precision to the layering of the instrumentation, and the rhythm instruments in particular pack some considerable punch. There are a few kind of curious mix choices other than the vocals, as in some of the cutaways to the filmed material, where background clamor of the audience kind of sounds almost like white noise at times.
