Specialty Definition: Dark Side of the Moon

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Released in 1973 (see 1973 in music), (The) Dark Side Of The Moon (DSOTM; the definitive article is used on some versions, but not others) is a 45-minute Pink Floyd concept album dealing with the pressures of life such as money, time, mental illness and war. It is the 11th best-selling album ever (worldwide). The album has nine tracks.

Overview

The album's theme was, in part, precipitated by the earlier departure of Syd Barrett, a founder member of Pink Floyd.

The album contains some of the most intricate uses of instruments and sound effects in the studio up to that time, including the sound of someone running around a microphone, and the recording of multiple clocks going off. A quadraphonic version was also released, with some re-mixing and different takes. In making DSOTM, Pink Floyd perfected other effects such as double-tracking of vocals and guitars (David Gilmour able to flawlessly harmonise with himself), flanged vocals and odd trickery with reverb and panning of sound between the channels. To this day, DSOTM is a reference standard that audiophiles use to test the fidelity of audio equipment.

Dark Side of the Moon has spent a total of over 740 weeks on the Billboard magazine music charts with the longest contigious stint lasting 591 consecutive weeks. It also reached the #1 chart position in the US, Belgium and France. In 2002 over 400,000 copies were sold in the United States, making the record 200th bestselling album of the year. "Time", "Money" and "Us And Them" have become radio call-in favourites (with "Money" having also been a bestselling single in the USA).

It has also been claimed that the album can be played as a soundtrack to the film Wizard of Oz, with the various tracks timed according to events in the film. [1]. The band insist that this is conincdental.

Dark Side of the Moon has been released as a 30th anniversary hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) with a 5.1 channel DSD surround mix, mastered from the original 16-track studio tapes. Some surprise was expressed, when James Guthrie was called in to make the SACD mix, rather than the original LP engineer Alan Parsons.

The

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

simple:The The word "the" functions primarily as the definite grammatical article in the English language.

The existence of a definite article is not shared by the common ancestor of the Indo-European languages. The older languages get along without them; there is no article in Latin, Sanskrit, or in conservative Indo-European languages like Russian. As in the etymologies of many other languages, the word originally entered the language as a demonstrative pronoun or adjective; compare the fate of the Latin demonstrative ille in the Romance languages, becoming French le and la, Spanish el and la, and Italian il and la. The and that are common developments from the same Old English system. Old English had a definite article se, in the masculine gender, seo, feminine, and þæt, neuter. In Middle English these had all fallen together into þe, the ancestor of the Modern English word.

It is generally pronounced with a long e before a word starting with a vowel and with a schwa before a word beginning with a consonant. However, for emphasis on the importance or veracity of its following word, the is pronouced with long e even regardless whether the following word is consonant- or vowel-initial. In this use, the alone may be used to eliminate the adjective "pre-eminent", as in "the hospital for back problems". But in written expressions, such as "the novelist of middle-class despair," it can stand without emphasis since the context is clear.

The can also mean "sufficient", as in "lacked the gumption to make his move". It can also be used as a possessive pronoun, as in "can't walk right since the ankle went"; as an expression of a ratio, as in "five apples the dollar"; and as an adverb.

In its adverbial use, it appears twice, each time before a comparative adjective or adverb to denote a commensurate relationship, as in "the more the merrier".

See A, an.

There is also a rock band named The The.
