*’the dark side of the moon’ is the 8th album by the english rock band ‘pink floyd’*
.
(originally released on ‘1 march 1973’ (on the label ‘harvest’), it built on ideas explored in the band’s earlier ‘recordings’ and ‘live shows’, but departs from instrumental thematic by founding member ‘syd barrett’)
(the album explores themes including ‘conflict’, ‘greed’, the ‘passage of time’, and ‘mental illness’, the latter partly inspired by barrett’s deteriorating mental state)
(developed during ‘live performances’, an early version was premiered several months before recording began; new material was recorded in 2 sessions in ‘1972’ and ‘1973’ at ‘abbey road’ in ‘london’)
(the group used some advanced recording techniques at the time, including ‘multi-track recording’ and ‘tape loops’)
(‘analogue synthesizers’ were prominent in several tracks, and snippets from recorded interviews with pink floyd’s road crew and others provided ‘philosophical quotations’ throughout)
(engineer ‘alan parsons’ was responsible for many distinctively notable sonic aspects and the recruitment of non-lexical singer ‘clare torry’)
(the album’s iconic sleeve (designed by ‘storm thorgerson’) depicts a ‘prism’ dispersing ‘light’ into ‘color’ and represents the band’s ‘lighting’, the record’s ‘thematic material’, and keyboardist richard wright’s “simple and bold” design request)
(“the dark side of the moon” was an immediate success; it topped the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart for a week and remained in the chart for ‘741 weeks’ (from ‘1973’ to ‘1988’))
(with an estimated ’45 million copies sold’, it is pink floyd’s most ‘commercially successful’ album and one of the ‘best-selling’ worldwide)
(it has been ‘remastered’ and ‘re-released’ twice, and covered in its entirety by several other ‘acts’)
(it produced 2 singles)
(“money” and “us and them”)
(it is the band’s ‘most popular album’ among ‘fans’ and ‘critics’, and has been ranked as one of the ‘greatest albums of all time’)
