Welcome to The Dark Side of the Moon
Some albums are collections of songs. Others create an entire world.
Released in March 1973, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon belongs firmly in the second category. Across ten interconnected tracks, the band explored some of the most universal experiences of human life: time, ambition, money, conflict, anxiety, mortality and the struggle to remain mentally balanced.
The result was more than a successful rock album. It became a landmark in recorded music, celebrated for its songwriting, atmospheric production, inventive use of technology and extraordinary sense of unity.
We explore and analyse one of the greatest rock albums of all time....whilst at the same time enjoying the accompanying recordings and videos.
