Dark Side of the Moon...

...is being re-released to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

is this worth the money? i have the plain release...it is a
bit bland, especially in comparison to other Floyd albums on
CD i have...maybe a fresh new copy would be good to have...

thoughts?

It's been re-released already. Last month actually. At
least in the US. It's a SACD. It's dual layer. Regular
remastered stereo recording and a 5.1 suround mix that can
only be played on a special SACD Player. Not worth the
money unless you have a SACD player.

Yeah. It sounds the same on a normal CD player, may as well
have the SACD capability as well. Plus... it's Dark Side of
the Moon... if you don't own it, why bother existing?

well, i DID own it... until i moved out of where i was
living a few years ago. haven't bothered picking it back up
since. to many other cd's out there.

imo dark side was the beginning of the end ... but there you
go -

i guess its a pretty classic album, also first one to have
continuous track on lp. i prefer the earlier stuff; piper at
the gates of dawn, relics (compilation), atom heart mother,
some wonderful tracks on umma gumma and saurcerful of
secrets ....

if anything it'd be worth getting the video .. can't
remember the exact title, but its the wizard of oz, with
dark side as the soundtrack on it - some wonderful
coincidences ..

well i saw it at the cinema, and it was called something
like : beyond the rainbow - i presume it got released, there
is a subtle edit third time through the album to make the
"home home again ... " on breathe sync with the ending of
the movie.

The first time through though is fucken fantastic - 2nd time
is a bit of a stretch tho.

Beginning of the end, I can see that... the creative spark
they had with Barrett (and a little after) gave way to
pretentious wank.

Barrett > Gilmour/Waters

ophecks .. i hear ya ..

but seriously, for any floyd fan, or vague floyd enthusiast,
watching the Wizard of Oz (mute) with DSotM playing - is
well worth the effort!

I've never really like Dark Side much... The Wall has always
been my favorite... it's such a brilliant piece of work... I
love Meddle and Wish You Were Here as well...
