I find your lack of Roger Waters disturbing.
We all know the old rumor that Dark Side syncs up in freaky ways with The Wizard of Oz. Of course, if you play pretty much any album along with any movie, there are bound to be some moments of synchronicity. (The human brain is very good at making connections.) But this got me wondering–what would happen if I played Dark Side along with a different movie? Specifically, a movie that is very associated with the term “dark side.”
Just to be clear, I am not suggesting that Pink Floyd somehow composed an album synced to a movie that hadn’t been made yet, or that George Lucas used Dark Side as a temp score in his editing room. But you have to admit, some of these coincidences are pretty cool.
(Technical notes: I started the album right when the 20th Century Fox logo appears. And sadly, I had to use the Special Edition version of the movie. Like it or not, Lucas has done a pretty good job of tossing the original down the memory hole.)
