Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

Dark Side of the Moon

Released in1973 this album went on to be Pink Floyds biggest selling album selling over 45 million copies. It is an amazing album. Very few albums you can listen to over again and still hear something you didn’t hear before.

It may be the voices or the instruments or the sound effects but whatever it is every time you hear Dark side of the Moon its as fresh today as it was in 1973.

History of the Album

Pink Floyd had been experimenting and recording pieces for this album when they received the call from      to do the soundtrack to Obscured by Clouds. So they shunted off to France locked themselves up and 2 weeks later completed the soundtrack to this waste of time film.

If you have followed Pink Floyd logically from the beginning then you will see that Meddle is like the fore runner to Dark side of the moon.

Watching live in Pompeii shows you clip of the group playing and rehearsing Dark Side of the Moon.

Of course it was not only the group who made it a brilliant album but credit must be given to the engineer on the Project, one Alan Parsons who went on to become The Alan Parson Project. His intelligent engineering give Dark side of the Moon that detailed sound, the clear and clarity sound enables the listener to wallow in the whole concept of this album.

When it was released it hit the No1 position in the US and No 5 in the UK. It stayed in the top 200 best sellers chart for741 weeks 1973 -1988 which in its self is a record. Not even Presley or the Beatles could do that.

One reason it sold so well at the time of its release was because people used it to set up there stereo sound systems. Play it loud and you’ll understand

  The sleeve simple but never the less striking and unforgettable with its black back ground and prism was designed by Designers Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell

It starts off with a heartbeat and finishes with a heart beat blended mixed into the whole album are various voices recorded especially for the album by Roger and Dave. They simply went round asking people they met in the studio what they thought of life, death, madness etc.

Money has a unique time signature with a sound of a cashier opening and closing a till drawer.

Written mostly by Roger Waters but with heavily influenced by the other members of the groups writings. The songs range from birth, death, greed, madness and time, themes often found in Pink Floyd Albums.

Yes some of the lyrics can be a bit immature but most are very clever and observant of life then and even now.

For example from

Money

Money, get away
get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
money, it's a gas
grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
new car, caviar, four star daydream
think I'll buy me a football team

  And from,

    Time

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone

The words said by unknown when asked what he thought of maddness.

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."
