An amazing look into the writing and production of what is considered by many the greatest album of all time. Hear some of the vocal tracks alone (e.g. Clare Torry's emotional improvisations), watch the band members play the chords and tweak unusual instruments, and get an insight into the great engineering job by Alan Parsons. The only thing that's missing now is some Orange Sunshine/Window Pane/Micro Dot before the journey begins...😉

Pink Floyd is the opposite of the 'wall of sound' and later loudness wars. Their music is all about space and beautiful silence between the instruments. Even with so many rich sound tracks, there is no competition, just complementarity and completion.

 
Awesome, love how Alan Parsons (producer) explains how he mixed for "Breathe". His skills were also a part in the album's greatness.
 
Saw this on VH1 several month ago. Very cool to see some of the production that went in to it. Definitely worth watching.
 
This was on the tele not too long ago...great piece for a great group of guys and great music.

it was really great.
 
sweet. I got to work with alan a few times on "alan parsons live project" concerts. really awesome guy and amazing ears.
 
I assume this is the same one that's on TV/DVD, in which case I've probably seen it 10+ times. It's awesome everytime.
 
Thanks. Dark Side of the Moon was the very first album I had ever purchased.

As a side question, what is Alan Parsons doing now?
 
There is a entire series of these "Classic Albums" DVDs. They're all pretty good. I own this one, Metallica's Black album, Def Leppard's Hysteria (also great), U2's Joshua Tree a Jimi Hendrix one (I forget the album) and Nirvana's Nevermind. Most of them go back and talk with the engineers and pull up the old, original recordings and talk about recording techniques. Good stuff.

I always thought "The turn of a friendly card" was an awesome album and much unappreciated..
