    It works. It really works. A movie theatre out here plays them together and they call it "Dark Side of Oz" Its pretty dope. Start the cd after the lion roars 3 times /

    It does work, its a total trip how everything synchs up. Except when the cd's done and the movies half over- what are you supposed to do at that point?

    no myth... it's fucking weird. it's better to use a cd player on repeat. start it on the 3rd roar of the MGM lion. -magic_jackson (fucking nerd)
    ps. "brain damage" just came on the radio here. weirder.

    yep, in fact i dont even know if ive ever seen the movie with its original audio...the past 3 or 4 times ive watched it was with dark side of the moon playing over it. i guess thats what i get for growing up around one of the biggest pink floyd fans ever..haha

    synchs up surprisingly well. i recommend it.

    plus i love that album anyway. all other pink floyd stuff is pretty hit or miss but that album is dead on for me.

    yes, this works perfect...but the thing ive always wondered is...



    who discovered this, and when? i always pictured this being discovered in the days of vinyl, which makes me wonder how they would have cued everything up and repeated as precisely as a cd player does...



    then again, vcr's werent incredibly common in the "days of vinyl", so maybe this is a more recent discovery...



    also, has anybody from pink floyd ever commented on this? maybe i should do some research as this has always interested me...

    I trasfered it to DVD.... I don't know how fun it would be to try to sync it manually every time...lol I think you could probobly download it actually. I'm sure someone has done it. I've traded it enough and I know other people have sync'd it up as well

    What's ill is how the music doesn't only sync, but sets the mood perfectly also. Like dark scenes = dark music etc... Good shit.

    I also got that Melody Nelson or whatever Serge Gainsbourgh 2 hour movie/music video. That's a trip too, especially since the movie opens with the beatnuts break. I never really listened to that lp until after I watched the movie. Gave me a new appreciation for it.

    The wildest part for me is when the cd is playing for the 2nd time, and during the track "Brain Damage" I think the lyric is "you raise the blade"... and right then Tin Man raises his axe from their hiding spot!

    I guess at one point during 2001: A Space Odyssey you can play Floyds "Echoes" and it synchs even better than the Dark Side/Oz deal.

    i've discovered a similar phenomenon in syncing e-40's grit & grind with the longest yard (burt reynolds og, if course, not the crappy reissue with adam sandler)

    Wait... the Melody Nelson LP is less than 30 minutes long. There's a 2 hour movie?

    although that says it only runs for 28 minutes.

    in addition to melody nelson there's a bunch of shit on that website i would love to see but can't bring myself to pay $20 for a home burnt dvd.

    They deny all of it, however it is true they wanted to show parts of the movie during their Dark Side tour.

    The theory is all bullshit, however it does work very well. Then again, after this a lot of PF fans wanted to link other movies with other albums. If you look at how DSOTM was recorded and put together, as well as written, it's obvious that "The Wizard Of Oz" was not in mind. A good legend, but it was one nerd getting guy and going OH SHIT!

    For real? I was told that they had actually written it for the wizard of Oz and were planning to take the movie on tour with them and play it in the background on tour, but the movie rights owners wouldn't allow it. Wouldn't surprise me if that was false though.
