So I did a little "research" over this rainy weekend and found a nice finish after dark side of the moon is complete.

You'll need
1. The wizard of oz
2. Dark side of the moon (complete album)
3. Wish you were here (complete album)
4. Sorrow (individual song from momentary lapse of reason)
5. Coming back to life (individual song from the division bell)


Start the dark side of the moon like every website will tell you, with the lions third roar. And just have the second album on que to play, followed by sorrow, followed by coming back to life.

Enjoy!

There's no way this is intentional, right?

Dark Side of the Rainbow.


FWIW: I completely wore that LP out in High School. The only album I ever owned where i bought it new and played it until it was unplayable.

It's not.

I've done "Dark side of the rainbow" 13 times starting as a 10th grader til now. I've done it high, done it drunk, and done it stone cold sober.

There is just simply NO WAY that they could make an album intentionally to synch up with the movie. It's ridiculous to even think so. Actually think for a minute...do you think they started watching the movie and then said "ok, let's wait to hit the drums a few seconds until this tree gets uprooted..wait for it...NOW!" Something like that, 100 times. Absolutely no way.


Also, back in my stoner days...my friends and I would get high and synch up an album with whatever happened to be on TV. Magical Mystery Tour, Revolver, WYWH, The Wall, etc. with whatever movie was on at the time. And without exception, there would be multiple things in the album that synched up with the TV. Be it a drum beat coinciding with a scene change, or a vocal solo synching with someone on TV yelling, or whatever. It's purely coincidence.

I'm 99% sure it was intentional. Dark Side of the Moon fits The Wizard of Oz WAAAAAAYY too perfectly for it to be a coincidence. I picked up on several dozen things that matched perfectly the first and only time I tried it. The probability of it being a coincidence is astronomically low, IMO.

Dear Lord. Ok so actually picture it in your brain..how did they record the album? Do you think when they were in the studio the hit play on Wizard of Oz then started jamming? And if the timing didn't exactly fit with the movie they changed things around to make it fit? That scenario is even more unbelievable and unlikely than it being a coincidence.

Did you read my first post? We would play a ton of albums, beatles, zeppelin, floyd, dylan, whatever...and mute the TV with WHATEVER movie just so happened to be on at the time. every...single...time.. without fail, they would synch up. It's just gonna happen that there will be a scene change or a drum beat when someone raises their hand or something..it's not that unlikely.

To think that one of the most popular, influential, and best bands of all time took the painstaking hours to play a movie that came out 30 years prior and then recorded their album AROUND the movie is laughable.

You can also sync up Pink Floyd' "Echoes" to the end of 2001: A space Odyssey. Just start it when the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinte" segment starts. Or just watch it HERE.

The band claims it was unintentional, but Roger Waters has been quoted as saying one of his biggest musical regrets was not having contributed any music to that film.

More support for my point. You can synch up anything with anything. Hell my friend who plays guitar could jam for a few minutes and it would synch up with that outer space scene.

I'm really asking yall, think long and hard about how much effort would have to go into intentionally synching an album up with a movie. You would have to hit play on the movie the write the notes, lyrics, time changes, chord changes, everything based around what's happening in the movie. You'd have to basically write a whole album second by second based on what was happening in the movie. That is so absolutely absurd.

I haven't really given it a ton of thought, but I recall that there are several tracks towards the beginning of Dark Side of the Moon where the song doesn't really get going for a minute or longer. It wouldn't have been hard to use that time to sync the tracks to scenes in the movie.

Syd Barrett was only with the band for one year, their first album in 1967. He was only involved in 1 song in their followup 1968 album. He was so fricked up by that point that David Gilmour replaced him for the rest of the album. By 1973 (when DSOTM was released) Syd was looooong gone.

Anything else?
