Many people are convinced that Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon album was deliberately synchronised with The Wizard Of Oz. I think that is just a silly idea, although there are a lot of coincidental events and themes.

Here's a question. The album is shorter than the film... so how do you get around that one? I've heard people saying you have to start the album at a certain point during the film - but the early scenes coincide with the first song's opening bars. What about later?!

yes, i agree, quite the coincidence though. watched a major production of this (with major ticket price as well, but it was a great show). good music can act as a backdrop for many different things. just look on the vid sites, teenagers with little or no knowledge and training are constantly blending their own versions of video and music.
some look for hidden meaning in soup cans. i know for a fact someone at campbells soup is trying to send me cryptic messages in the alphabet soup. some of these messages are quite disturbing.

Pink Floyd has repeatedly been inquired about this. They are insulted by the idea. When they produced the album, the Wizard of Oz was the furthest thing from their minds. I have watched Oz and listened to the album as backgroud and I have to say it is incredible how well they go together. As amazing as it is, I have to believe that it is only coincidental.

it seems unlikely that floyd did this on purpose until one remembers that with roger waters at the helm, just about anything is possible. wright, mason and gilmour were focusing on the music they were making and all the while, the twisted and dark mind of mr. waters was leading them towards the realisation of his own fantasy/reality cross-over project.
it's entirely possible that TWoO had such an impact on the fragile young waters mind, together with his family life, that though he believed this work to be of his own imagining, it was , in fact, a product of his early life programming. somewhat true for all our creative attempts.
there. it's all just a coincidence. nice one though. jig. x

Try this at home: Turn down the volume of your tele. Put some, say, atmospheric kinda music on and watch tele. Youll see just how coincidental things can be...Good fun though. Especially if there's a programme on about storms and the like.

Sorry but I listened to Pink Floyd a few times trying very hard to get into them and each time they did my head in.
