Dark Side Of The Moon

Description

Product description DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was a benchmark record. It turned
the musical world on its ear with a hitherto unseen combination of sounds, and
changed things considerably for Pink Floyd. For this project, Pink Floyd
resurrected older and unfinished numbers, some of which came from the
multitude of soundtracks the band members had previously worked on. The film
ZABRISKIE POINT, a study of American materialism from a foreigner’s
perspective, provided /Us and Them” (originally titled “”The Violence
Sequence””). Waters rewrote “”Breathe”” after its appearance on his and avant-
garde composer Ron Geesin’s score for THE BODY” Dark Side of the
Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered
anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic
music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn’t rush anything; the songs are
mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture
and mood. The sound effects on songs like “On the Run,” “Time” and especially
“Money” (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into
rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973
was before the advent of digital recording techniques. This is probably Pink
Floyd’s best-known work, and it’s an excellent place to start if you’re new to
the band. –Genevieve Williams 1. Speak To Me/Breathe 2. On The Run 3. Time 4.
