Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon MFSL

The Pink Floyd MFSL CD, Dark Side of the Moon is widely considered to be one of the greatests rock albums ever produced. This album and now cd has sold almost as many copies as any other cd on the market. It still continues to sell today, despite being released in 1973.

This musical recording was spawned by the departure of founding member Syd Barrett. The album explores many of the "dark" behaviours of the human spirit including: greed, conflict, and mental illness. The song Brain Damage was partially inspired by the deteriorating mental condition of Syd Barrett.

The sound track of this cd includes the following songs:

Speak to me
Breathe
On the Run
Time
The Great Gig in the Sky
Money
Us and Them
Any Colour You Like
Brain Damage
Eclipse

Many of the songs have haunting tones that bring almost magical tone to many of the songs. My personal favorite on the CD is "Us and Them" - this song has wonderfully soft undertones and great guitar work to make a powerful followup to the classic song Money. The flow of the songs on the album make this masterpiece extraordinary.

A Masterpiece Recording

To listen to this masterpiece on MFSL CDs truely enhances the listening experience of any audiophile. The nuances that Pink Floyd is famous for really sticks out when you listen to this masterpiece on the gold mfsl ultradisk. Listening to songs like money, us and them, and brain damage really make the sounds that are ordinary on any other cd shine. Many people criticize the MFSL CD recordings saying that they do not sound as good at high decibles. This recording is not meant to be played at an ear busting level, but rather using a high quality audio system or headphones to truely enjoy the entire range of the sounds on this recording.

The mfsl version of this cd features the classic triangle reflecting light on the cover, with a very prominent gold bar on top displaying Digital Master Recording. Without question this is one of the most famous of the MFSL collections.
