    Well there has been quite a bit of controversy on the net about the recent re-mastered Pink Floyd albums that have been released over the last 3 years. I did some investigation and discovered what I think is correct and some interesting facts. "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" was originally recorded on a mix of analogue and digital by the band and then transferred to full digital for final mastering before being committed to CD or Vinyl. A similar process occurred with "The Division Bell". It appears that not much care at the time was taken with producing the vinyl versions of either albums, remember it was the age of the CD back then. From what I can find out subsequently nearly all Pink Floyds albums have been re-mastered at The Mastering Lab, chosen to get the best from the original masters with a view to getting a better vinyl result. Some cynics would say it's all a marketing ploy, well maybe but however the proof is in the pudding.

    So I took the plunge and purchased both the above and I found both to be very good IMO. They certainly have all the dynamics and vibrancy you would expect, and they are very enjoyable. As I picked them up online at 50% discount I think they are a bargain buy,
