Nobody will get it. It's old........

eeer dontcha mean pink floyd?

I've heard the theory, but I've never played them together.

It's true, it does work. About 10 years ago Turner Classic Movies actually broadcast "The Wizard of Oz" with "The Dark Side of the Moon" available on the SAP channel. I recorded it and had it for years.

IMHO start the CD at the third roar.

LOL! I once asked Razrin if he was watching The Wall when he was testing some drug. He thought I literally meant staring at a wall. At that point I figured it was a waste of time to try to explain it to him.

A few syncs:

The original DSOTM album had two sides. The second side begins when the movie shifts from B&W to Color.

The song when she's in the air is called "The Great Gig in the Sky."

The song when she lands and the movie becomes color is "Money."

The album ends with a beating heart when they're rapping on the Tin Man's chest.

The song "Us and Them" almost entirely names pairs of opposites. One exception? The line "Black and Blue" and the camera shows the witch, then Dorothy.

The song when she meets the Scarecrow has lines like, "The Lunatic is on the grass, the lunatic is on the path."

When Dorothy is singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" her eyes move across the sky. When listening to DSOTM, her eyes are following airplanes.

On the Dark Side of the Moon album cover is a rainbow. Inside the jacket is a rainbow and the band members are looking over it.

These are just some examples off the top of my head.

Wait.

We're talking about Dark Side of the Moon. (On the record charts longer than any other album. Check my facts.)

Ever.

Is it after the third roar??????LMAO

Thanks for correcting me, cuz I know you have to get it right to work. And when it does, it's so fucking cool.

I dont know C., but that sure is a first !!

What I do is start the CD then pause it so it's all geared up to actually play when the third roar starts. If it's off a second either way it's all right since it seems like they had a hard time getting it perfect so some stuff will line up better depending on excatly when you start it. It is a cool phenomenon, though. I don't know how coincidence could explain it, and I am pretty skeptical (for a GLPer!).

Start "Wish You Were Here" when Neo sees agents walking out of an elevator in his office builbing for the first time, the next 44 minutes of the movie would synch up with the entire album.

lol, it works. I can't tell you more than that but I've seen it myself like five times. You need to start the movie and wait until the lion roars (I thought twice, but someone else said three times, which might be right)

Then press start on your audio. Let her rip.

lol i'm gonna have to do this :-)

Good times...

Real or imagined, the effect is usually created by pausing a CD of the album at the very beginning, starting the DVD or tape of the film with the TV volume muted, and un-pausing the CD when the black-and-white MGM lion roars for the third time. (Note some versions have a color lion also. The black and white lion is the right one to use for the best results.) A minority of devotees argue that un-pausing the CD on the first roar produces a superior alignment. The effect can be repeated during the film by restarting the CD when the 'Cowardly Lion', during his initial scene, roars for the third time.

Another synch point is the appearance of credits for producer Mervyn LeRoy exactly as songs transition from "Speak to Me" to "Breathe". However, this does not match the starting point of the 'third roar'.[10] When using this, the screaming from "Breathe" begins right as LeRoy's name appears.

A vinyl recording can also be used by cuing up the beginning of the record at the third roar of the MGM lion and dropping the needle when pressing play. At the end of 'The Great Gig in the Sky', and side one of the record, the farm house in the movie falls out of the sky landing on the screen turning it black. This is where one pauses the movie, and turns the record over to side two. (It is also a good place to start if the record becomes out of synch.)

If the music and movie become unsynched when using a CD, the one hour point of the movie corresponds to 2:14 of Great Gig in the Sky (using LeRoy's credit as a marker). This means the movie is 8 seconds ahead of the CD (2:14 of Great Gig in the Sky is 16:52 into the CD. The CD is playing a second time, and the entire length is 43 minutes exactly.)

Most users have explored this phenomenon using the original or 1994 re-issue editions of the album in CD format.

Another factor that could affect the quality of the perceived synch is the version of the film used. The NTSC version, used in the United States, runs 101 minutes while the PAL version, used in Europe, runs 98 minutes. (This is caused by the 576i speedup, a side effect of the most commonly used method to transfer 35 mm movies which runs at 24 frames per seconds to PAL, which runs at 25 frames a second.) Most users who have made websites touting the effect appear to be based in the USA. When using a PAL version of the DVD, digitally speeding up the album by 4.16% (or slowing down the DVD by 4%- this can be achieved on certain DVD playback software and hardware) prior to starting fixes any problems with syncing.

Please don't quote crap.

It works. I don't care what you say, it works. I have seen it.

I know it works...you asked when you should cue it, and the article states the variables, depending on your setup. In addition, the main article mentions other items people have talked about.

Yep it does and it is mightily cool

Exactly.
