What can you say about Dark Side of the Moon that hasn't been said before?
Dark side of the moon is an amazing album! The progressive drumming of the heart beat throught the album makes it dark and surreal. My favourite track is Time, the sudden out burst of guitars, drums, vocals and just sound sends shivers down my spine. Pink Floyd are the most popular and spectacular band of all time dsotm is a bit like one of those hollywood blockbuster movies. It's beautifully put together. Track listings are as followed
1) Speak To Me 2) Breathe 3) On The Run 4)Time 5) The Great Gig In The Sky 6) Money 7) Us And Them 8) Any Colour You Like 9) Brain Damage 10) . Eclipse
The total time off the album is about 43 minutes long its the best 43 minutes every song is songs you can really tap your feet too the front of the cover has changed from the original this one has a bit more colour too it and looks more appealing things that are new on this album are The Booklet, cover and the gold thing under the CD i could listen to this album for days on end i honestly love this album i would say if you like echoes you will like this but hey that is only my opinion.So i would say if you can get hold of this its worth the money
Advantages: All the benefits of the quadrophonic recording without the crackle Disadvantages: the vinal still sounds warmer
What can I add after that title? I have my original pressing first release vinal album which still sounds superb although getting a quadrophonic amp that still works is a bitch! This SACD presentation brings back much of the original feel and nearly the depth of the original which the cd lacked particuarily if used via naff kit. This is Floyd at their peak in my humble opinion and one of the defining albums of the twentieth century. If you don't ... ...th White Album this is the must buy album of all time. Ok you need a sacd player and a decent 5.1 amp to appreciate this album at its best having said that if you have the kit sit back and enjoy. It's hard to believe this album was recorded so long ago considering the multi level nature of the tracks that are so far ahead of their time. ...

Album Notes: This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD Players. All tracks were re-mixed in 5.1 Surround sound from the original 16-track master tapes. Includes new artwork and a new booklet by original designer Storm Thorgerson. Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar, VCS3 synthesizer); Roger Waters (vocals, VCS3 synthesizer, bass, sound effects); Richard Wright (keyboards, VCS3 synthesizer, background vocals); Nick Mason (drums, percussion, sound effects). Additional personnel: Clare Torry (vocals); Dick Parry (saxophone); Doris Troy, Leslie Duncan, Liza Strike, Barry St. John (background vocals). Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England between June 1972 & January 1973. 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," a surreal medical documentary. Floyd and their long-time engineer, Alan Parsons, used a multitude of sound effects--from stereophonically-projected footsteps and planes flying overhead ("On The Run") to a roomful of ringing clocks ("Time"). Further adding to the record's mystique, barely audible spoken passages were sprinkled throughout--a result of hours interviewing random Abbey Road occupants about their views on insanity, violence and death. Floyd must have struck a nerve; DARK SIDE OF THE MOON remained on Billboard's albums chart for an astounding fourteen years. It made Pink Floyd a household name, elevating them to the level of the Rolling Stones and The Who in the rock pantheon.
Album Reviews: Q (6/00, p.80) - Ranked #11 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...The first art rock LP since SGT PEPPER to go properly overground....[this] was an unmistakably English LP..." Rolling Stone (5/24/73, pg.57) - "...The sound is lush and multi-layered while remaining clear and well-structured....a fine album with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement....the excellence of a superb performance..." Q (10/94, p.137) - 4 Stars - Excellent NME (3/20/93, p.33) - 8 - Excellent - "...although everything your punk rock elder brother said was undeniably true, it doesn't take a great mental leap to achieve the mind-set of the pot-smoking philosophy student and pronounce this album a super-sensory classic..." Uncut (5/03, p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The subdued, darkly muttering, sombrely somnolent music of DARK SIDE OF THE MOON startles....An achievement of considerable merit..." Classic Rock (04/06, p.73) - "Pink Floyd's masterpiece..."
