Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'

@msmoto80 Out of all I have read on this forum, the wording for the reference made to participate in self abuse, as an attempt to create a synthetic state of reality, has been the most discomforting to see put into text.

The whole concept of it seems quite traumatic. 

An interesting point made was about the intentional playing with time at the intro to "Time".  How coming out of the clocks and alarms is that synthesized tick-tock where we assume the downbeat is on the higher pitched tick. Until that first chord crashes down on the lower "tock" and we have to recalibrate our sense of time. Much like the band did after losing Barrett. 

@pindac 

interesting phrasing. I don't know if you're referring to getting high or masturbating. I guess it depends which moral framework you're coming from.

Oh by the way, which one is Pink?

For a different listening approach of this album I suggest the SQ quadraphonic version.
