Is That A Violin I'm Hearing?


I may be decades late to the party here, but I just recently heard what sounds like a violin playing at the end of the album The Dark Side Of The Moon. After the male voice, after the heartbeat fades out. It sounds like it was recorded about 60 dB down from the album level. Had to turn the volume up very high. Just a few seconds of playing. My apologies in advance if this has already been discussed ad nauseum...

To make it perfectly clear, my experience of hearing violins is not related to the verse when ABC sings the song When Smokey Sings and the lyrics are..."when Smokey sings, I hear violins..."

So I dug out my SACD copy (is it really worth 100.00?)and fired up the Yamaha UDP,running digital out to the Quad VA-One and plugged in the HiFiMan HE-400i Planar headphones...Yes indeed you do hear violins.It sounds like a small table radio playing classical music...I believe when the old man says "there is no dark side of the moon"he is supposed to be in his home...

tomcarr-


yes, I hear violins as well. Very cool via Alan Parsons.

Happy Listening!

Tomcarr, love the ABC reference!

Is the DSOTM ending a Firesign Theater homage?
