Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for music lovers and people who love a true story told well. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to The Last Waltz or Moonage Daydream.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 50 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Released to coincide with the 30th anniversary of this classic album, learn how Pink Floyd assembled "Dark Side of the Moon" with the aid of original engineer Alan Parsons. All four band members--Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright--are interviewed at length, giving valuable insights into the recording process. The themes of the album are discussed at length, and the band take you back to the original multi track tapes to illustrate how they pieced together the songs. With individual performances of certain tracks from Roger, David, and Richard included, this is an essential purchase for any Pink Floyd fans, and a fascinating artefact for rock historians everywhere.
