This MetaMix (literally, a 'mix of mixes') combines many different collected treatments of the song 'Sheep' originally done by the progressive psychedelic 70's rock band Pink Floyd for their 1977 album, 'Animals'. This particular piece, as well as the larger work it is a part of ('The Psychedelic SHEEP MetaMix') arose out of a webcast show marathon that The National Cynical Network (NCN) did on January 21st, 2024 which was the 47th anniversary of the release of the original Pink Floyd 'Animals' album. The webcast show (still under production in its entirety at the date of THIS piece and album's publishing) was called 'The Pink Floyd 'Animals' 47th Anniversary Remix Marathon' and was streamed for 12 hours.
This Pink Floyd Self-Aware Sheep MetaMix is split between Parts A and B of the album, the first half appearing at the beginning of Part A and the conclusion bookending the overall mix by appearing at the end of Part B. The mix combines many different collected treatments of the song 'Sheep' originally done by the progressive psychedelic 70's rock band Pink Floyd for their 1977 album, 'Animals'.

'The Psychedelic SHEEP MetaMix' of which this track/mix is a part was adapted from an earlier NCN show called 'Counting Sheep (and Pigs)' which was created 9 years prior to the program that this track/mix is a part of, 'The Psychedelic SHEEP MetaMix' and contains portions of that show. Some of these portions have been remastered with higher quality source files than 'Counting Sheep (and Pigs) including remastered and/or lossless versions of the source files.

Note: Hardcore Pink Floyd fans might want to keep an ear out during the fadeout very end of this mix (before the NCN logo) because there is a special audio 'Easter Egg' in there that I think they will recognize and get a big kick out of but I truly do not want to spoil this special little chestnut in advance and tell you what it is (no fair skipping ahead and 'peeking'! Srsly tho do it THAT way for BEST effect, you'll hear what I mean). :-)
