Dark Clouds In A Perfect Sky - Elis

Advantages: Great rock album
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks

...Sound: There is little in this world that compares to the feelings of trepidation and tranquility aroused by a musical composition. Experiencing the awe-inspiring sound of any master composer causes it to flood through your very soul, fleeting in and out of your consciousness, demanding attention, and slowly allowing you to lose yourself in the complex patterns of rhythm-filled sound. What an amazing art, indeed! One of the most truly amazing opuses, Dark Side of the Moon, was composed by Pink Floyd and was originally released on March 24 of 1973, a wonderful year to be alive. The hazy landscapes expressed therein are the perfect setting for perceiving the mundane details littered throughout life. With ten glistening movements including an overture, an elegy, and psychedelic and neo-baroque styles ending with a superlative finale, Dark... Read review

The usual explicit lyrics sticker. The booklet provides song lyrics (which in the best tradition of all song lyric booklets, does not seem to quite match the words in the songs). and lots...

...If there is one album you had to chose to represent what 70's rock was all about (up to Punk at least) 'Dark Side of the Moon' (DSOTM) would be that album. It propelled Pink Floyd from popular art-house kings of English psychedelia to be one the best known and most successful rock bands in the world. BACKGROUND (or Psychedelia, drugs and a bloke called Syd) Pink Floyd had been one of the major influences of the drug inspired Psychedelic rock of the late 60's under the guidance of slightly unhinged but enormously talented Syd Barrett. With the album 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' and their extraordinary live shows that used film projections and light effects at key underground venues, like the UFO club in London, Pink Floyd had become one of the most innovative and critically acclaimed British bands. Just as the band... Read review
