Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) SACD
.... I must have been drunk at the time........
Well I guess it only took me 3 years on this darn BLOG to get around to reviewing my all time Fav album ! Yes I know ....total Cliche !!
What Ever !!!
As a kiddie this was the album that turned me onto progressive rock.........My brother Danny bought a copy of this album and I was literally mesmerized for years and years and years....
Alan Parsons and Pink Floyd ......they never got any better than this....
I think the one thing that is often not talked enough about on this album and likely is one of the reasons why I still adore this recording is the fine use of percussion. This is Floyds more percussive album maybe next to Ummagumma and combined with the huge Soul presence on this album has me all the way.
Every tune on Dark Side is simply mind numbing.....and the fine use of space and emptiness only adds to the adoration this album has meant to me. I think this album really shines in both Percussion and breathing space ....and funny the second song is aptly titled BREATHE.......kind of makes you wonder if there is more design than you ever thought eh !!
You can note count the number of times I have sat and listened to this album and each time I still marvel at its brilliance and complexity yet calmness and simplicity.
I also have tons of memories of this one.......everything from my pal Miles doing MONEY as an airband in my highschool days to the posters from the vinyl that I had over my bed for 4 years at University.
Enough said................the lunatic is in my head..........
