Sony Music will re-issue the 1994 Pink Floyd “Pulse” concert film on Blu-Ray and DVD on Feb. 18.
“P.U.L.S.E. Restored & Re-Edited” appears to be the same version of the David Mallet-directed film re-cut by Hipgnosis‘s Aubrey Powell that was included in 2019’s “The Later Years: 1987–2019” boxset.
This stand-alone reissue includes a pulsating light built into the package, similar to the original ’95 “Pulse” CD. (Better yet, the light is now operated by two replaceable AA batteries.)
“Essentially, it’s a device which we thought was entertaining,” drummer Nick Mason says of the light. “It’s an idea of Storm Thorgerson’s, which related to ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ and the pulse, and it’s a live album so the box is ‘alive.’
“After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit,” he adds.
The concert was recorded Oct. 20, 1994, at Earl’s Court in London, and includes a complete performances of the band’s “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
The two-disc set includes a variety of music videos, tour screen films, documentaries and additional material.
