British rock superstars Pink Floyd have revealed November 10 as the official release date for the band’s first record since 1994. Hauntingly titled The Endless River, the album will be the fifteenth full-length recording released by the band since dropping its debut album during the Syd Barrett era, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, almost 50 years ago.

This week, the Floyd (sans Roger Waters, of course) began promoting the new album — which is rooted in material culled from the 1993 Division Bell sessions — by revealing the artwork and release date via the record’s official site. While The Endless River doesn’t include founding member Roger Waters, who hasn’t recorded an album with the band since their falling out and subsequent legal battle in the 80’s, it will include material featuring the late multi-instrumentalist Richard Wright, along with seminal members David Gilmour and Nick Mason. The band says The Endless River “is a tribute to Rick Wright, whose keyboards are at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound.” Wright died of cancer in 2008 at the age of 65.

The band will release the album in a variety of formats, including standard CD ($13), double vinyl ($40), and a deluxe 2-disc box set, available in CD/DVD ($30) and CD/Blu-ray ($32) formats. The box set includes a hardcover 24-page photo/credit booklet with previously unseen photographs from the 1993 sessions, The Endless River in CD and DVD (or Blu-ray) formats, 39 minutes of additional “audio-visual” material (6 video and 3 audio tracks), and archive video material from the recording sessions.

The DVD edition will contain both a 5.1 Surround (Dolby Digital and DTS) and a high-resolution stereo version of the record at 24-bit/48kHz, while the Blu-ray will include the album in 5.1 Surround in both DTS Master Audio and even higher-resolution PCM 24-bit/96kHz, and a stereo version 24-bit/96kHz. The album is currently available for pre-order on the album’s official site as well as through Amazon.

Of course, the Floyd’s already got a bevy of official Endless River merchandise available for pre-order on its site, ranging from T-shirt and sweatshirt bundles to the various versions of the music itself, as well as a teaser video with material from the album which, no surprise, sounds as heavily Gilmour-influenced as The Division Bell itself — at least as far as we can tell from the meager snippet offered.

What is spatial audio? The 3D sound experience fully explained
Person listening to spatial audio using Apple AirPods Max headphones.

Since Apple added “spatial audio” to the Apple Music streaming service and the AirPods family of wireless earbuds and headphones in 2021, it feels like you can’t read about new audio products or services without running into that term. And just a few short years later, it’s seemingly everywhere.

This has led to a lot of misconceptions about what spatial audio is, how it works, and why you need to hear it for yourself. People often ask, “If Apple created spatial audio, why are other companies claiming they do it, too?” The answer is that Apple didn’t create it, and you certainly don’t need to own its products to experience spatial audio.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

The best kids headphones of 2024: for fun, safety, and sound
Two kids using the Puro Sound PuroQuiet Plus to watch something on a tablet.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
