For our early April edition of the Extended Play Lounge, I'm FINALLY listening to Dark Side of the Moon. As hard as it is to believe, this will be my very first time listening to this album from start to finish. And, it was a profound experience. I hope you enjoy!

A splendid recording technically and not without considerable high points, but for me it was Santana's Caravanserai that year, released at about the same time.

Anderson Davies

If you are as fascinated as it seemed with "On the Run", then you MUST please your ears by music From Tangerine Dream, captained until his untimely death by Edgar Froese, THE pioneer of this kind of music. Put "Phaedra" on, the earliest Album (their 5th) that started their typical style. Rubycon, Stratosfear, Cyclone, Force Majeur as a start, all from the early to mid-70s. Explore how these titles sound nowadays, especially live versions. Fascinating!

My second favorite album of all time, time is probably my favorite song on this one and then any color you like.

here's the interview with Clare Torry about her DSotM experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIW7xZSlZoM And for comparison here's Brit Floyd using one of their background vocalists on GGitS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd9-wiT1dJQ And for additional comparison, here's Aussie Floyd on the same track, only they split the solo 3 ways among their trio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvfRNIaTn4M

Thank you for your reaction and analysis. Really enjoyed it.

At some point, consider the album that Allan Parson did shortly after this one "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" Like its title suggests its a collection of songs based on Edgar Allan Poe's stories. It really was a project, that has many interesting vocalists and as you can imagine top of the line production.

Don't mind me, I'm just crying because my pretend friend on the internet just experienced something breathtaking.

There is a doc on this album in which all members talk about each of the songs, including who were the voices (the woman was Linda McCartney, because the Wings were recording next door). https://www.amazon.com/Pink-Floyd-Making-Classic-Album/dp/B07RDMXDR2

Great reaction! I am sorry you didn't get the experience until a bit later in life, but I am so honored that I could be here to share this with you. Indeed this album has a lot to teach people. I am glad it is still so popular and new generations get to hear it.

Yes Doug - 1973 - the year I graduated from HS. Also, another of my favorite albums, Sir Elton's, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, came out the same year. Dark Side is definitely a CLASSIC!! Roger's lyrics are deep!! You just have to take the time to absorb them. Forgot to mention that there is a DVD on Amazon showing you how they made the album if you're interested. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=making+of+dark+side+of+the+moon+dvd&crid=PXW88OD68K9X&sprefix=the+making+of+the+dark+side%2Caps%2C710&ref=nb_sb_ss_mission-aware-v1_3_27

"Notice how much space they give their lyrics to live." This is part of the brilliance of the best Pink Floyd. They knew how to "unfold" the music so that the best parts of a song were extended. If I had to say what makes Floyd different from other bands, it's their use of space in time. This sense of time, and time well spent, is what makes David Gilmour such a brilliant guitarist. Eddie Van Halen played 50 times the number notes that Gilmour did, but Guilmour is, to my ear, much more brilliant. It's sense of technical brilliance (in Van Halen's case) versus a more intellectual brilliance in Gilmour's case.

Paul Halicki

The distorted guitars in Any Colour You Like are amazing. That said, I spent years thinking my speakers were no good because I thought they were distorting the sound! :-D

Further reading: "Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd" by Mark Blake. It's a memior of the band.

Paul Halicki

"And the heartbeat fades out..." It's a circular album... it ends and begins with a heartbeat. Other Pink Floyd albums follow a similar pattern- Wish You Were Here begins and ends with chords of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The Wall, if you turn it up very loud, begins with very faint "...we came in?" It ends with "Isn't this where..." the precursor to the beginning.
