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


I never get tired of learning more about this seminal work by one of my favorite artists of all time.

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.

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.

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

Interesting discussion, but for most folks who use mood altering chemicals, alcohol or other, and this becomes compulsive, they have the disease of addiction.  Many great musicians die of their disease.  I was given the gift of sobriety over 35 years ago. Thank you for the topic.
