Dark Side of the MOVIE???

[Batman]

Was there ever a movie made to go along with Dark Side of thte Moon?

[SoulGirl]

i don't think so, although if you believe the rumours they made the album to go along with 'the wizard of oz'. i've seen 'dark side of the rainbow' and it is pretty weird!!

Well I read this quote on songfacts, for "Us and Them"

The band refereed to this as "The Violence Sequence" because they worked on it for a very violent scene in the movie.

Well I read this quote on songfacts, for "Us and Them"

If you read the fact about that one, it mentioned that the Dark Side of the Moon(or at least the song) was the soundtrack to a movie, Zabriske Point.

[Batman]

Oh, really? Was it any good? Was DSOTM playing in the background the whole time?

Here is the song listing of the soundtrack. It doesn't look like the whole DSOTM.

Yes, they were originally working on a soundtrack to Zabriske Point, but the director was very picky, and wore them out. So a lot of the songs got reworked to be in their jam session concert, called Eclipse, that would later become Dark Side of The Moon. There is a DVD of the making of DSoTM, and it shows Rick Wright not knowing his chord theory. It was adorable.

Chris is right, only there was just a couple of tunes. I also remember that DSOTM was called "Eclipse" before it was released. Besides, "Zabriskie Point" is from 1970 while DSOTM was released in 1973.

"A piano piece composed by Richard Wright of Pink Floyd for the 'violent scene' went unused, but was later reworked by the band as "Us and Them" on their album "Dark Side of the Moon". This is a quote from the "Zabriskie Point" video info.
