Register to win a copy of “Signal to Noise,” the new concept album from longtime Pink Floyd recording engineer Andy Jackson.

We have signed copies of the two-disc Digipack edition of the album, which includes a DVD containing a 5.1 Surround Mix.

Jackson began his career at Utopia Studios in London, training under Floyd collaborator James Guthrie. At Utopia he helped create hits with Boomtown Rats‘ “I Don’t Like Mondays” and Spandau Ballet’s “Chant No. One,” before beginning work on the film “Pink Floyd The Wall” (1982).

Since then, his Floydian resume has grown to include “The Final Cut,” “A Momentary Lapse of Reason,” “The Division Bell,” “Pulse,” Roger Waters’ “The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking,” David Gilmour’s “About Face,” “On An Island,” and “Live in Gdansk,” as well as the upcoming “The Endless River.

His work has earned him two Grammy nominations and Mix magazine’s award for best live sound engineer for the “Pulse” tour.

Lucas Ballesteros of Buenos Aires, Argentina, won our 4th Annual Surrogate Bands Pink Floyd Cover Contest.

Ballesteros took top prize with his one-man-band rendition of Floyd’s “Echoes.”

“I played and recorded as a solo-experimental-hobby-independent artist since I can remember,” Lucas tells us. “Currently I’m playing and recording my own stuff in my home studio. I finished an album recorded in my home studio from 2003 to 2008, still unreleased.

“I think it’s time to go pro and get out of the bedroom studio,” he adds.

We couldn’t agree more.

Ballesteros receives $200 in Pink Floyd merchandise from The Official Web Store of Pink Floyd.

Second prize, selected from all entries by random draw, went to Don Horn of band AITX of Ontario, Ohio. Don gets a Pink Floyd periodical package including four magazines featuring the group or its members on the cover: Uncut (November 2013), Guitar World (Holiday 2013), Record Collector (August 2013) and Classic Rock presents Prog (September 2010).

Thanks to everyone who entered the contest.
