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"

Amazon.com

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

5+ STAR SACD, 2 star CD

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

The SACD stereo and 5.1 surround versions of Dark Side of the Moon are the only way currently available to experience this album as Pink Floyd intended it to be heard. If you don't have an SACD player or a DVD player that plays SACDs and don't intend to buy one, don't buy this album. The regular CD version sounds better. The CD layer on this is too compressed and too loud and might be OK in a noisy car with the windows open, but forget about it on even a low quality home system. I say this as someone who loves Dark Side of the Moon.

I have thought that Dark Side of the Moon is one of the finest albums ever made for over 30 years. I have 2 copies of the British SQ Quad version, an unopened backup and a copy I play on rare occasions. I also have one opened and 2 still-sealed Stereo LP pressings. All 5 of these are British Harvest pressings circa 1977. I also have an opened and a sealed Mobile Fidelity LP pressing, and my original American Capital pressing. In my opinion the late 70s British Stereo pressings beat all comers. The MFSL is crisper and has more detail but, fatally, less atmosphere. But it is a good second choice and occasionally a good alternate listen. The British Quad pressing has cleaner, quieter surfaces than the American Capital and is clearly a different (but inferior) mix, which makes for an interesting alternate listen on a rare occasion, but the sound quality and mix are actually better on the American Capital. If you are listening for sound quality, the SQ is a poor fourth among these 4 versions. If you want quad or surround, any of the other 3 played through Dynaquad or Dolby Surround or some other ambiance recovery arrangement gives a much more satisfying experience. My comments on British pressings are limited to late 1970s pressings. I say this because I picked up a British stereo pressing of Wish You Were Here about 1986 and it sounds muffled compared to my Japanese stereo and British Quad pressings from the 70s, so I wouldn't vouch for later British pressings, though it is possible they may be satisfactory on Dark Side. The British Quad pressing of Wish You Were Here stands with the British Stereo pressing of Dark Side in terms of sound quality and quality of listening experience. The mix is different from and superior to the stereo version of Wish You Were Here, whether played back in stereo or in quad (and I wish Sony would release it on SACD).

Because my LPs sounded so good I never bothered to get CD versions of most of Pink Floyd, though I did pick up the Mobile Fidelity Gold CD of Dark Side, and later the Doug Sax remastered CD Box set, Shine On, which includes many but not all of the albums. I occasionally listen to some of them but mostly I still listen to the vinyl versions. Except...

The SACD. In addition to the lousy sounding CD layer, you have 2 choices on the SACD layer, Stereo, or a new 5.1 channel mix from the original multi-track analog masters. Earlier I said that late 70s British Stereo LP pressings beat all comers. Let me qualify that. The stereo SACD version equals it. It is very difficult to hear any difference between my always carefully played 1977 British Stereo pressing and the SACD stereo tracks (except there is some very slight surface noise on the LP--but it is not yet objectionable enough to make me break the seal on one of my other copies). Old British stereo pressings are basically going to be impossible to find. This is a worthy substitute. There is also the new 5.1 channel mix. If you like surround sound you'll love this. I love surround sound and listen to most stereo sources with Dynaquad passive ambiance recovery. This new surround mix is about equal to the stereo mix but different, exchanging a little more clarity for a little less of the mysterious. It is a worthy alternative (unlike the old SQ version). I listen to both.

So buy this SACD while it is still available if you like this music. If you don't have an SACD player, don't listen to it yet. But get yourself one of the universal DVD players that plays SACD (and DVD-A, too, preferably) and you are in for a treat. And some of the dedicated SACD players sound even better. Let me repeat: the SACD stereo and 5.1 surround versions of Dark Side of the Moon are the only way currently available to experience this album as Pink Floyd intended it to be heard.

UPDATE: Finally in late 2011, Wish You Were Here

A Hermit

"The Dark Side Of Life," actually.

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2005

Verified Purchase

The title came from the question-and-answer sessions that provided the selection of voices that are scattered throughout this experience. One of the questions involved the other side of the moon, "Dark Side" wasn't even the title yet, and the answer was, "There is no dark side of the moon, really; matter of fact, it's all dark." Who would've known those would be such immortal words?

This classic is about life, and all its pressures, and sounds REALLY good while telling of them. The beginning track, "Speak To Me," starts with a lone heartbeat, all you have at the beginning of your life, and the sound effects are sort of an overture to the main body of work, clocks ticking, voices speaking, talking about insanity and whatnot, a creshendo, climaxing with a truly creepy scream; is it panic? Fear? Pain? I guess it could be anything. This segues into "Breathe," an overview of life's pressures, toiling endlessly until death, "balanced on the biggest wave, you race toward an early grave."

"On The Run" is about paranoia, the term itself is British slang for such a state, the running footsteps, heavy panting breaths, the airport voice a reminder of always having to keep moving, and those swells that the synthesizer lets out, overbearing pressure to never stop, or they'll get you. The explosion toward the end is one of the most awesome things I've ever heard, worthy of a subtitle itself. And as the rumbling dies down, more footsteps and panting, the paranoid never rests, he is forever persued, often by his own imagination.

"Time" is rather self-explanatory, the passing of time is an awful thing, if looked at in hindsight, there's always something that should've been done, and at the end of each day, the sun and the earth are still the same, but you are "shorter of breath, and one day closer to death."
"Time" includes "Breathe Reprise," a break, a chance to relax at home, and shut out the world, if only for a short while.

"The Great Gig In The Sky" is a highlight, featuring the wordless, often imitated vocal of Claire Torry, the song about the Spectre of Death, and the almost universal fear of it. Listen closely, and you'll hear the aside, "I never said I was afraid of dying." Although the original is always better, if you can find the video of "The Delicate Sound Of Thunder," pay close attention to this song. The part that Margaret Taylor sings, will raise the hair on your neck.
This track was also called "The Mortality Suite."

"Money" is the biggest hit from this collection, but remember, "Dark Side" is about life and its pressures. Most marital problems stem from financial hardship, money problems will keep you awake at night. It's just about opulence and materialism.

"Us And Them," is Waters' indictment of political power, especially behind any act of war; the strongest line being, "'Forward!', he cried from the rear, and the front rank died." It's like the pawns in a chess game, these men are expendable, they occupy the enemy while the "important" people play from the rear. Very deep.

"Any Colour You Like" is just a loose jam, like they used to do when playing London's UFO Club. It's just do as you feel, ad lib, and as they said to denote it, "Any colour you like." It's an ideal intermission between "Us And Them," and the next selection.

...which is "Brain Damage." It was originally to be called "The Dark Side Of The Moon," and I think they should've stuck with that. I guess they have their reasons. It's about an impending breakdown, the "lunatic" getting closer and closer, until "I see you on the dark side of the moon." Not of this world, not of this life, "spaced out."

"Eclipse" is the epilogue, a finale, the summing up of life, all that's in this life, all that was, is, and will be. I must admit to not paying attention to how deep the last line is, until many moons later; "Everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon." The sun is the source of light, energy, our livelihood. Ancient people thought it was God, because it is life-sustaining. Being in tune is just that, the harmony of everything working together, a finely-tuned machine, or more appropriately, a musical instrument. But the moon, here, is discord, the dark side is madness, stress, pressure, and insanity. During the eclipse, it's the dark side that faces us, all we can see and we are faced with all that makes us crazy, at least for a while. And the sun is eclipsed by the moon, regularly, fading into the lone heartbeat that began the piece, taking the listener back to his or her beginnings, with the reminder that "There's no dark side of the moon, really; Matter of fact, it's ALL dark."
