      @@weebunny - Analogue waves actually give a fuller, non clipped, wave. This picks up audio that is outside the range of hearing, but affects the depth and tone of the sound. The reason it has "limitations" in the bass is that you cannot compress the sound without distorting the waves. That destroys the sound. Digital master will sound cleaner, but miss the full tonality, which is why many things are recorded analogue and digitally remastered. YOu can never pick up those thing missing.

      FROM WIKIPEDIA
      As the band began casting around for a singer, album engineer Alan Parsons suggested Clare Torry, a 25-year-old songwriter and session vocalist. Parsons had previously worked with Torry, and had liked her voice on a Top of The Pops covers album.[3] An accountant from Abbey Road Studios contacted Torry and tried to arrange a session for the same evening, but she had other commitments, including tickets to see Chuck Berry that evening, so a session was scheduled for Sunday evening between 7 and 10pm.[4][3]
      The band played the instrumental track for Torry and asked her to improvise a vocal. At first, Torry struggled to divine what the band wanted, but then she was inspired to pretend that she herself was an instrument.[3] She performed two complete takes, the second one more emotional than the first. David Gilmour asked for a third take, but halfway through Torry stopped, feeling she was getting repetitive and had already done the best she could. The final album track was assembled from all three takes. The members of the band were deeply impressed by Torry's performance, but were so reserved in their outward response that she left under the impression that her vocals would never make the final cut.[3] She only became aware they were used when she saw the album at a local record store, spotted her name in the credits and purchased it.[3]

    This track is solid gold. Clare Tory went into the studio that day on Floyd's request and did it in one take, and it will last for all of time. No one knew what she was going to do including clare herself as floyd did not want any words, and this genius moment happened. One of the best tracks ever recorded by any artist since the dawn of music. It speaks a million words without uttering one. It's about the stages of death and how we must learn to accept our fate. Absolutely beautiful track, and very intelligent piece. Wright's music though cant be understated either. It's a Rembrandt.

Actual drivers, moving air, in a room... Is the actual proper way to hear music. Speakers are the reverse of microphones, speakers create distance.. That place the instruments around the space, or room. Headphones do not recreate "sound staging" like actual speakers/drivers do. You need air moment and significant volume. Try it.

    Pink Floyd created landscapes of sound best enjoyed with headphones. The 'tracks' on DSOTM are really just one track as they were designed to merge into each other. Think of it as the same movie with different scenes. You really need to listen to this one from start to finish as it's a work of pure musical art. One of the best selling albums of all time, spent 13 years or so in the US album charts!. BTW, as others have commented, it would be really good if you listened to tracks without interrupting as it spoils the flow which is quite important with Floyd. It's difficult to watch reaction videos which constantly stop/start/stop. And to be honest, interrupting a David Gilmour guitar solo is bordering on blasphemy... :)

      I agree that listening to Dark side in one go is a must. But I think if you’re reacting to music, you should pause it as and when you see fit. You might have something profound to say, but if you leave it all until the end of the record it would get completely lost.
      It’s their reactions, they should stop when they feel like it. If you want to hear it uninterrupted, listen to the record on your own.

    It seems like a new reaction page pops up nearly every day lately, and I've watched many of them, but yours are my favorite by far. Your editing is superior to most, the background songs are funny as fuck and entirely match the vibe you set with your commentary - which often has me cracking the fuck up. I've checked out a few of your reactions and this one is my favorite just because this album in it's entirety is, I believe, one of the most epic, existentially profound pieces of music ever laid down. And watching people react the first time they hear this is so satisfying because I see it moving people the way it has moved me for over 25 years. Nothing in rock music matches this. If you think you want to sit through 43 minutes and react to the entire album, I guarantee you your mind will be blown perhaps like never before. This song is like a chapter in the middle of a book. The album is a concept album, with each song connecting thematically to the next. With this album it makes the most sense to start in chapter 1 and work your way through to the conclusion. Let us watch it change your perception of music the way it has done to so many of us. Put the shrooms on your pizza. Do it man.

    The great gig in the sky could/can be interpreted as the sound track for the stages of grief, death and dying; shock and denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, This is expressed not through words, but rather through the emotion of the voice of the singer. There are emotions that words can not express. This is what the track conveys as per the context. This is what makes the writing of Roger Waters and the band so special.

    Headphones dude, headphones!!
    Numb live at Pulse and dive into “Animals” Dogs.
    Remember Floyd didn’t do songs, they recorded albums with songs on them, the concept and transitions are the true meaning of art

      You cannot listen to one song off DSOTM in isolation. Animals - most under rated album in history. Perhaps my favourite album.

      @Buggersaurus Rex He freaked on the recording of WYWH because he was handed the lyrics to Welcome to the Machine, written out in red pen and he thought it was a demand for payment or something like that and flipped right out.

    Clare Torry's performance blew the band away, but they were left so speechless that she thought she had failed. she left under the impression that her vocals would never make the final cut. She only became aware they were used when she saw the album at a local record store, spotted her name in the credits and purchased it. :)

      I got to see them do Echoes live in Philadelphia at JFK in 1987. They opened with that song and it was the first time I saw them. I was 17 years old and love Pink Floyd! Listen to Sheep.

    Pink Floyd music is the drug close your eyes and drift. Listen to the whole album beginning to end it is worth every blissful minute.

    The beauty of progressive rock.. it's not a quick fix, it's not a flash in the pan... it grabs you, gently sits you down, and makes you not only feel, but also think. It takes every sensing receptor you have and literally rewires your brain and changes you. Pink Floyd were masters at their craft.

    "Only" back up singers...How many bands give their back up singers one of their best songs? This is as good as it gets. Those voices...

  • @MikeTitsch
    @MikeTitsch Pƙed 4 lety

    You are correct. That is exactly what Pink Floyd asked of the singer. "There are no lyrics. We want you to sing what dying sounds like."
    She walked into the studio, heard the request, went into the vocal booth and belted it out. The band said to her, "that was terrific. Let's do it a few more times so we can mix a bunch of different versions together."
    She said, "Nope. That's all you're going to get." I understand she freaked out sometime later when she heard herself on the radio. She was not expecting commercial success for this song and really didn't understand what the band was trying to do.
