I've done it. It is really amazing. The music just keeps hitting the picture. I remember the the first time they sing "black" is when the wicked witch first appears.

[vocomotion]

The A Cappella version of Dark Side is also "Wizard of Oz Compatible" ... check it out at http://www.DarkSideVoices.com.

Thanks for posting this... I've been wanting to see it for ages but the version of the edit of the film that we have here in Australia doesn't sink up.

Cheers.

[Mark Warren]

Yeah, I think you cue up the CD and put it in pause before the first song, then hit play right when the MGM lion roars for the 3rd time.

And the holy shit factor is intensified if you smoke a big phatty before watching this, not that I'd know anything about that of course

[djui5]

It's wicked for sure. Saw it about 7 years ago, dosed (not that I condone that kinda thing).

I heard an interview with the band and they were saying it was never intended. Completely an accident someone discovered one day..

Wild stuff

[seaneldon]

gee i wonder how someone found this out...

i'll give you a hint.

[(DC)]

In that quantity too...

Heh. Reza, nothing ever sinks up. Even in the northern hemisphere things have a tendency to sink downwards.

[Nut]

I think it must be one of THE biggest loads of shite in the history of everything.. but, hey... whatever does it for ya

Shiiiiit... sink... sync... same difference right? Now I look like some 14 year old punk who's bored of his skateboard and wants to be a producer.

I am a skeptic about all things in the world (things that are supposed to exist outside of it even more so). I watched Wizard of Oz with Dark Side about 10 years ago and I went into it very skeptically... damn if it was not pretty amazing.

There are things in life that are coincidences, coincidences do happen but with Floyd and Oz they are a little too many to completely dismiss.

If you are skeptical you should check it out.

Now the thing that sucks is I tried this again with the DVD and the CD about 3 or 4 years ago and it did not work out so well. Don't know if the running time on the DVD is a little faster to help it fit on the disk but something is different I believe. I can flat out say that if you do this with the CD and a VHS tape you will find it very interesting for sure.

is "big Phatty" a rapper?

[DontLetMeDrown]

I've done this with my friends more times than I can even remember. Fun stuff. Coincidental or planned? Either way, it is lots of fun.

It works with a CD + DVD

I play the CD on my computer and DVD on my xbox

Agreed it's alot of fun. I'm in the "planned" camp for sure though. It's TOO GOOD to be coincidence. The very end of that clip is really the big give away. Are we supposed to believe that floyd chose to use a heartbeat at the end of the record RIGHT at the moment they are listening to tin mans chest?? Come on!

I think it's one of the greatest mysteries of music, and I doubt anyone will ever fess up to it either way, but it's also pure genious. If the did in fact plan it, can you imagine the work involved with not only getting tempos and action hits, but then you know...writting good songs?

[Slipperman]

Somebody is cooking the local greenery.

That's whatcha get for setting up shop in paradise.

HOHOHO.

Kidding!! Kidding!!

XOOXO

SM.

[SnakeCained]

On my DVD version after "Dark side" stops "Wish you were here" begins. Both are quad mixes!

However I see no value in this syncronisity.

I mean why not sync up anything to anything. If you look for it hard enough you will find it.

[reflexon]

I think the echoes thing with 2001 is far more convinving.

Exactly. Whether or not it was planned, it is a fantastic album.

[gerryg]

I wonder if it works with "dub side of the moon" which is a brillant reggae version of Dark Side...the photo in the earlier post got me thinkin' mon.....

I have never tried the DSOTM and Wizzard of Oz thing, but it always reminds me of how in the late '60s/early '70s everyone wanted those color organ things. I built my own using Christmas tree lights crammed in a box withe the same diffused plexiglas front panel. Of course my version didn't have the "mystery" color organ circuit from Radio Shack, but when you'd play a record (Inna Gadda Davida was good) and stared long enough... THE LIGHTS DID SEEM TO BLINK WITH THE MUSIC!

Since I haven't seen the two sync'ed up I can't really say, but it's like a coincidence because it DOES work. How many other records and video/films DON'T sync up? It's kind of like no one ever says that they are a reincarnated potato digger that died when they were four years old in Ireland. It's always a queen or something important. Maybe Nostradamus had something to do with it? I'll ask my college buddy... he''s a leading authority on Mr. Nostradamus. There's a good gig!

Truthfully, when you get into production a lot of stuff does sync up by accident.
First off, if you have a song at 120 bpm it is going to march along at a nice pace that falls in the :30, :60, :90 second time frame. I used to do hundreds of production music pieces and well crafted stuff does fall together somehow.

My other question is why did they make the recording go along to a point and quit.
Why would they have even done it in the first place?
Why take the time and only make a few places work out?

How could they have created it in sync at Abbey Road anyways?
Sync what to the 16 track? A film? A 1" video... no it'd have to have been a 2" quad machine. It's have been too hit or miss and never truely in sync.

Roger Waters: "Guys! I have a great idea! Lets make every tempo and song duration match the Wizard of Oz, but here's the BEST part! We'll never tell anyone! We'll work our asses off and make it match up perfectly, but we'll have to hope that someone notices it some day in years to come, but WE'LL NEVER ADMIT IT!"

Let's see... DSOTM came out in 1973?
People started talking about this when?
Six or seven years ago was the first I heard of it.

Don't you think that after nearly TWENTY FIVE YEARS someone in Pink Floyd would have said, "DAMN! Why haven't ANY of you ignorant fools every figured this out?
We worked our asses of doing this and no one notices it?"

Maybe it was, "Man, The Wizard of Oz is such a masterpiece and if we pattern our record after it we'll capitalize on it's magic and sell lot's of records, too!"

I DOUBT IT!

Then again, they tried to make a record using egg slicers, rubberbands and matchboxes!

The problem with smkoin' the chronic is that you can HEAR stuff like this magic , but you can't CREATE stuff like that. You might think that it was magic when you were smokin', but when you clear your head it isn't so magical anymore. They weren't high and came up with it, but being high might make it seem more obvious.

I do intend to try to see the wonders of it soon.

Is it on YouTube?

Zappa's "Billy the Mountain" follows any/every episode of the 60's "Batman" TV series beautifully. Talk about lip sync:P Ya just gotta see Robin say, in perfect sync, "...and Ethel was a tree, sitting on his shoulder..."

Bleh, nevermind. It's probly too obscure a song reference these days:P

But back in our day...!! hahah:-)

[dbbubba]

NATPUB.... FZ would be so dissappointed in you for taking the drugs that allows you to "see" that when Billy and Ethyl trek across the desert from out near bleak Rosamond and Gorman which IS out in back of Palmdale where the TURKey farmers run...

YOU my son, have such vison!

Maybe this is why Zappa produced Burt Ward's record!

I died laughing over that one Natpub!
Good good good!
I feel like you are someone I know in disquise pulling one over on me personally!

You know... everytime I'm in Hollywood I drive past the Ralph's on Sunset and look for that phone booth where Studebaker Hawke smeared on the pancake syrup that attracted the flies that allowed him to fly off in the phone booth.

That is where my good friend grocery shops. No one knows the significance of that Ralphs. Of course that would be where Frank's groceries came from, too.

Who knows what I am talking about?
If you do then that was a funny post to you, too.

If you don't know who Billy the Mountian or Ethyl are then this is making no sense to you. .. and we apologize!

I heard that because McCartney isn't wearing shoes on the "Abbey Road" album cover, it means he's dead.
I believe there are other clues in the picture as well...

[dbbubba]

I just watched every clip I could find demonstrating the "amazing" corelation between DSOTM and Oz....

I didn't see anything that was beyond coincidence.
I kinda' hoped to see something interesting.... nope, nothing.

Pink Floyd SUCKED at making their stuff match movies in my opinion!

I am REALLY glad that I didn't buy a new copy of each.

Paul McCartney really did die.
There are clues everywhere.
The Beatles were heartless bastards that capitalized on his death and hid their grief by devising the clues that broke the conspiracy hiding of Paul's death.
They couldn't just come out with it, so they devised a complicated maze of clues.
They tried to make it easier on the teenage girls that were going to be so distraught.

Barefeet
the VW says 28 IF (IF he lived)
John is dressed as the preacher, Ringo as the undertaker and George is dressed as a gravedigger.
He blew his mind out in a car.... crash

W I was in the 5th grade everyone at school was upset because someone started the rumor that The Monkees died in a car crash IN THE MONKEYMOBILE! I guess they went down to George Barris Custom Cars and stole it and had a wreck while racing Jimmy Bryant who was driving the VoxMobile. I think that Paul Revere and the Raiders narrowly missed having the same fate while driving their Raider Coach.

How much dope do you have to smoke to be able to see the DSOTM/Oz parallels?

Case closed!

Its true, they do sync. It is weird.

You don't need any at all. If you didn't notice the connections, you either weren't listening, or they lined it up wrong.
