Since most of us are going apeshit over the PF set for Live 8, I figured I would throw this out there.

Is Dark Side of the Moon the sountrack for Wizard of Oz??

I'm sure most know this, but have you tried it. It is cool as hell and makes for real good entertainment (...or to waste some of time).

How to Synchronize Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz (from About.com)

So you want to try the Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" and Wizard of Oz synchronicity test? Here's are simple instructions for set up and enjoyment of these two classics.

1. Buy or rent the movie The Wizard of Oz.
2. Buy or rent the CD of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
3. Put the CD in the player and press pause at the beginning of track 1.
4. Put the movie in your VCR and begin to play.
5. Turn off the sound on your television. Turn up the volume on your CD player.
6. When the MGM lion roars for the third time, unpause the CD.
7. If the credit "Produced by Mervyl Leroy" appears onscreen at the transition between "Speak to Me" and "Breathe," then you are correctly synched.
8. Sit back and enjoy!

Tips:

1. Use a CD, not an album. Stopping to flip the album would mess up the synchronicity.
2. Try to think of this as one long, bizarre music video. Don't expect too much and you might be amazed.
3. End the movie after one play-through of the CD. Avoid the "looping" method to replay the CD, as anything after this point is minor and far-fetched.

Synchronicities to look for:

1. When Dorothy runs away from home, the line "No one told you when to run" from the song "Time" is heard.
2. The tornado scene begins just as "The Great Gig in the Sky" starts playing. The song lasts for the entire duration of the storm.
3. The female singer begins moaning, her voice rising and falling in time with the mood of the tornado scene.
4. When "Great Gig" ends, the first side of the album also ends (not valid when using a CD).
5. "Money" begins as Dorothy opens the door and sees Oz. The black and white part of the film ends at this point and begins in color.
6. The lyics "Don't give me that do-goody-good bullsh*t" are heard as Glinda the good witch floats down in her bubble.
7. The dancing ballerinas seem to keep time with the rhythm in "Us and Them."
8. "Brain Damage" becomes the backdrop for the scarecrow scene where he's singing "If I Only Had a Brain."
9. The album ends with a heartbeat, as Dorothy presses her ear to the Tin Man's chest to listen for a heart.

once you put a hint in someones mind they can will believe that Straight Outta Compton is a soundtrack for the incredibles.


but great post for 1998.

Hehe, like you said I'm sure most people know about this. I've done it myself at home and I thought it was cool, even though when you read what to look for it kind of spoils the fun. I also went to a midnight showing of The Darkside of Oz at the historic theater in town. It took them about three times to get it in sync, everyone booed the first two times. Then they had the cd on repeat so it got kind of boring halfway through the second playing. I think they ended up just shutting off the cd and turned up the movie audio.

i had my dad do it and he was amazed.







in 1998.

Yeah, I know...

ive done it many times and i love it, it does seem to go so well with it, my only question has always been, do you replay the cd when it ends, or are you pretty much done with one time through the disk?

Don't fret, faithful: edzeppe's a grumpy, old codger.

I thought the whole Enigma shindig was 100,000,000 times cooler.

You can google it and find plenty of other source material. It's an entertaining and very Floyd deal, which some people take insanely seriously.

actually 1997........


and from what I've read, even if the band wanted to do this, the technology available to them when they recorded DSOTM was not advanced enough to make this possible.

A friend of mine and I started writing songs to sych up with Ghostbusters...but we didn't get too far...

someday...


The Pink Floyd thing is awesome. I don't remember what year, i think it was 99 for me

The Wall also goes perfectly with The Sound of Music.

Metallica's Master of Puppets works better.

i repeat it. the mood still totally syncs up.

i disagree with that. i would think it would be rather easy.....no?

I read somewhere that Deloused in the Comatorium by the Mars Volta synchs up with eithe Lord of the Rings or the Matrix. I cant remember which.
