Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like "On the Run," "Time" and especially "Money" (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973 was before the advent of digital recording techniques. This is probably Pink Floyd's best-known work, and it's an excellent place to start if you're new to the band.

One of Britain's most successful and long lived avante-garde rock bands, Pink Floyd emerged relatively unsullied from the mire of mid-Sixties British psychedelic music as early experimenters with outer space concepts. Although that phase of the band's development was of short duration, Pink Floyd have from that time been the pop scene's preeminent techno-rockers: four musicians with a command of electronic instruments who wield an arsenal of sound effects with authority and finesse. While Pink Floyd's albums were hardly hot tickets in the shops, they began to attract an enormous following through their US tours. They have more recently developed a musical style capable of sustaining their dazzling and potentially overwhelming sonic wizzardry.

The Dark Side of the Moon is Pink Floyd's ninth album and is a single extended piece rather than a collection of songs. It seems to deal primarily with the fleetingness and depravity of human life, hardly the commonplace subject matter of rock. "Time" ("The time is gone the song is over"), "Money" ("Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie"), and "Us And Them" ("Forward he cried from the rear") might be viewed as keys to understanding the meaning (if indeed there is any definite meaning) of The Dark Side of the Moon.

Even though this is a concept album, a number of the cuts can stand on their own. "Time" is a fine country-tinged rocker with a powerful guitar solo by David Gilmour and "Money" is broadly and satirically played with appropriately raunchy sax playing by Dick Parry, who also contributes a wonderfully-sated, breathy solo to "Us And Them." The non-vocal "On The Run" is a standout with footsteps racing from side to side successfully eluding any number of odd malevolent rumbles and explosions only to be killed off by the clock's ticking that leads into "Time." Throughout the album the band lays down a solid framework which they embellish with synthesizers, sound effects and spoken voice tapes. The sound is lush and multi-layered while remaining clear and well-structured.

There are a few weak spots. David Gilmour's vocals are sometimes weak and lackluster and "The Great Gig in the Sky" (which closes the first side) probably could have been shortened or dispensed with, but these are really minor quibbles. The Dark Side of the Moon is a fine album with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement. There is a certain grandeur here that exceeds mere musical melodramatics and is rarely attempted in rock. The Dark Side of the Moon has flash -- the true flash that comes from the excellence of a superb performance.

Goodspeed, thanks for this Ultradisc II version.

Thanks for the MOFI...I own it but now I don't have to rip it. My DSOTM digital collection is nearly as crazy my physical selections! Here's what I have: '73 UK Quad, '79 MOFI LP, '84 "Black Triangle", and now the '88 MFSL UDCD. I also owned this on 8-Track Tape. What other versions must a pack rat like myself need?

@ EMAX1987

Well, Mr. Know It All, since you have all the knowledge of CD ripping feel free to give little old me an example of how it should be done by posting the fruits of your labour over here!
I have an open mind for criticism as long as it's contructive...

Have deleted comments made by EMAX1987,

obviously he has a major problem with his PC if he thinks these files are bad.

Thanks Goodspeed

And why you don’t analyze the FLAC file with the program “Audiochecker” and the CD with “True Audio Analyzer” (or TAU Analyzer)??.. and you will see the results for yourself… has nothing to do of how you did the rip.

Thanks for this Classic!!

The MFSL is PERFECT and is the ONLY version that currently matters. I just wasted time and bandwidth getting the 30th Anniversary SACD DFF files, and converted to 24bit/82.2kHz FLAC. Just played it and unlike this MFSL version it's compressed to fuck. Now deleted.
FOLKS, GET THIS VERSION AND FORGET ALL OTHERS! :)
