9/10

By Paul Davies

And the beat goes on…as Pulse is restored and re-edited providing fans with the complete and updated live Pink Floyd performance package on Blu-ray and DVD. Filmed at Floyd’s 20 October 1994 Earls Court London concert and notably directed by David Mallet, Aubrey Powell’s re-edit from the original tape masters also includes music videos, concert screen films, documentaries and Pulse tour rehearsal footage providing an all round consummate visual and sonic experience for any serious fan. The whole live performance of The Dark Side Of The Moon is sensational on this new edition, especially Gilmour's intricate guitar work contrasting with Richard Wright's banks of keyboards. It’s the visual upgrade that benefits this edition putting the viewer inside the concert experience. Furthermore, the pulsing blue light on the spine returns from the original 1995 CD release without the need for a battery. The addition of audio-only recordings of One Of These Days and Astronomy Domine live in Hanover and Miami 1994 is an added treat as is the immersive 60-page booklet. Pink Floyd put together immaculate redux releases and this expanded PULSE edition is no exception. An absolute must-have!
