I continue to feel blessed I was able to see Pink Floyd's Division Bell Tour, their last jaunt around the world, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on July 17, 1994. Even though I was in the nosebleeds, way up near the top of the back of the stadium, I quite enjoyed the band's overall visual spectacle and the live quad sound system to their intended effects.
Naturally, I made sure to obtain an audience recording of that show just to have a permanent audio talisman of such a hallowed occasion. I was happier still to snap up the final tour's official June 1995 2CD release P.U.L.S.E, which infamously featured a pulsing, AA-battery-powered red LED on its spine. (Mine blinked for about 6 months, perhaps even longer, but I lost track after I turned it around on my shelf to face the wall once the novelty of seeing it every day wore off.) P.U.L.S.E VHS and Laserdisc companions duly arrived in July 1995, while the slimline DVD emerged in July 2006 and the 180-gram 4LP vinyl box set eventually arrived in May 2018.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
