Amazon.com essential recording:
Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like "On the Run," "Time" and especially "Money" (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973 was before the advent of digital recording techniques. This is probably Pink Floyd's best-known work, and it's an excellent place to start if you're new to the band. --Genevieve Williams

- Stunning!
There are a few nay-sayers among the reviews of this album, and to them I say:
This album is billed as the 30th Anniversary Edition. That's "edition", not re-release. The word strongly implies "somehow different" and this album is definitely different. The only reason to buy it, in my opinion, is to upgrade your historical collection of "Dark Side" to the newest and dramatically improved technology, and perhaps to hear a different opinion on how the mixdown should be done.

Rating: - The Best sounding version of this classic I have heard
I have never bothered to listen to this Hybrid SACD in stereo.
On my first listening I was blown away with surround sound where there are many instances where the the 3D sonic events take this album to a newer high. The most notable for me is "On the Run" where the footsteps criss cross not just from side to side but from back to front, and where a plane or something crashes it travels from rear left to front right. There are numerous instances throughout the album where surround sound has added ... Read More
