Pink Floyd's second album, A Saucerful of Secrets is the literal sound of a band in transition, clinging to its past even as it plunges forward into the unknown.
After over eight months of continuous recording at their own Britannia Row studios in 1976, 'Animals' was originally released in 1977 and became one of the band's most popular albums.
Plenty of people consider this, Pink Floyd's 8th album (1973), one of the best album's of all time. Even the Library of Congress considers it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," (although it took them 39 years to do it).
Singer and guitarist David Gilmour remixed the audio with Andy Jackson, and the project features new artwork shot by Hipgnosis' Aubrey "Po" Powell and designed by Storm Studios' Peter Curzon. 5/14/21
