Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon

vale_rush · 05-01-2008, 10:53 PM

The Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album by the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd, engineered by Alan Parsons.The Dark Side of the Moon builds upon previous experimentation Pink Floyd had done, especially on their album Meddle. Its themes include old age, conflict and insanity; the latter possibly inspired by the deteriorating mental state of their former band leader Syd Barrett. The album was their first to use musique concrète and conceptual, philosophical lyrics, which would later become a trademark of Pink Floyd's work.

Quote // My second review of the Dark Side of the Moon is only a general observation ... If i am a movie producer , and got the chance to make a movie about the space ,the moon , and other dimensions , i'll just go for it . my soundtrack recordings will be surely DSOTM . This album particularely , gave the progressive rock in 1973 a new dimensions . Who's gonna believe what a huge impact did this album at that time in the music markets . Few of you proggers witness this amazing turnover . Many good bands were involved in producing space music between 70 & 73 . But none of them were capable to have a worldwide recognition indeed . Progressive music was on a crossroads at that time , in fact me too , this album in addition to Thick as a brick & selling England , gave a young teenage the right steps to walk into progressive world . So , i'm not reviewing all the tracks in here , many of you did a great satisfying & thanksful job . Humble , Smooth , Gets into your heart quickly without permission , A well crafted harmonies & lyrics by Wright & Waters . wonderful females vocalists , Gilmour as always in excellent shape , good and satisfying sound production ( engineered by Alan parsons ) , acceptable passages between the main tracks , professional job in mixing between all instruments involved in the project , Mason is always there with his drum kit . A good combination of prog & pop in few tracks without harming the idea of this concept . N.B = Best selling album in 1973 , best concept cover , best group , best sound production & engineering . In ( Music magazine ) of Lebanon . // Tracks Toni // unquote

For me, this is the Pinnacle of all Albums. I lose myself when listening to it. (And no, I didn't do drugs...lol) It is also the only album I purchased in the 24k gold edition.
