I don't know what to say about the greatest rock album ever recorded that hasn't already been said. Somehow or other my copy of it got lost so I bought another copy at Cheapo Disks when I was in Austin on Saturday. I listened to it on Sunday while I was cleaning up my home office. It sounds as good on my Polk Audio bookshelf speakers as the first time I played it in my 8-track Pioneer Super Tuner in my '68 Ford Fairlane when I was 17. I am looking forward to listening to it when I am 65 on the newly remastered octophonic version with on my full-body sound experience system. Some things are timeless, but the great thing about music is that it can always be experienced in new and different ways.
But I guess the thing that forever changed my appreciation of this album was when I heard about the "strange synchronicity" that the album has with the movie "The Wizard of Oz". "Balanced on the biggest wave / race towards an early grave", indeed. You don't have to believe me, check out these geeks and the following video clip:
"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."
