Pink Floyd - Extended 370 Roman Yards

THE SONGS - Technical Information

Heart Beat Pig Meat.
Sourced from the Rhino expanded soundtrack. The official mix created by Pink Floyd for the album. A few flaws (pops and tics) in the recording have been removed, as well as a good bit of the hiss. EQ has been enhanced a bit to bring the tonal range more into alignment with today's standards. These measures were taken with all the official Rhino material.

Country Song.
Also sourced from the Rhino expanded soundtrack. This mix does not sound to us like what Pink Floyd would have produced at the time. Dave Gilmour was not confident with his singing ability yet, choosing to bury his vocals in the mixes or use a lot of reverb on them, and because of this we think the vocals were mixed too loud and too dry on the Rhino release. We isolated the vocal track from the mix and added a reverb sonically close to the Abbey Road reverb chamber to it and also a bit of that reverb on the drums. By taking a close listen one can now possibly hear the sonic similarities to "The Narrow Way Pt. 3" as found on the Ummagumma album, which was finished only weeks before this recording. A wrinkled spot in the master tape caused a dropout in the drum track on both the Rhino mix and the one on the A Journey Through Time and Space CD, and we have corrected that by dubbing in a portion of the drum track from the following verse. Channels were swapped to match the instruments' pannings on the other tracks on the album (piano on the right, guitar on the left).

Fingal's Cave.
Sourced from the master reel used to make Omayyad, this is Pink Floyd's unused official mix. We have cleaned and remastered it to sound as good as possible, removing as much of the distortion and noise as we could, corrected the stereo imaging flutter and EQd it to sound as much like the rest of the material as we were able to. The fluttery sound of the drums was also repaired by isolating specific frequency bands and manipulating the stereo field of them.

Crumbling Land.
Sourced from the Rhino expanded soundtrack with extended ending from Omayyad. This song was the least damaged of the official releases but it contained the MGM mandated edit of the sound effects at the end. The mix on Omayyad, however, contained the complete version and we spliced in the missing portion from this version. As the missing parts were 'only' street noises, these were carefully noise filtered and EQd to match the sound of those street noises present on the official edit version.
