Product Description
Synopsis
A behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the making of the great sonic masterpiece which became one of the most commercially successful albums of all time Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" (1973) is one of the most beloved albums of all time. A sonically stunning exploration into dark themes of madness, death, anxiety and alienation, it has sold a staggering 30 million copies worldwide and continues to sell 250,000 copies a year. As well as being perhaps the most fully realized and elegant concept album ever recorded, "The Dark Side of the Moon" was also one of the most technically advanced LPs of its day. It has aged remarkably well and still sounds as contemporary and cutting edge as it did on the day it was released. A perfect blend of studio wizardry and fearless innovation, the album is illuminated by John Harris's exploration of the band's fractured history, his narrative skill and his deft exploration of the album's legacy, such as its massive influence on bands like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails. Drawing on original and new interviews with every member of the band - bassist and chief songwriter Roger Waters, guitarist Dave Gilmour, keyboardist Rick Wright and drummer Nick Mason - The Dark Side of the Moon is a must-have for the millions of devoted fans who desire to know more about one of thee most timeless, compelling and mysterious albums ever made.
