The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth album by the English rock band Pink Floyd. Originally released on 1 March 1973, on the label Harvest, it built on ideas explored in the band's earlier recordings and live shows, but departs from instrumental thematic by founding member Syd Barrett. The album explores themes including conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett's deteriorating mental state. - Developed during live performances, an early version was premiered several months before recording began; new material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road in London. The group used some advanced recording techniques at the time, including multitrack recording and tape loops. Analogue synthesizers were prominent in several tracks, and snippets from recorded interviews with Pink Floyd's road crew and others provided philosophical quotations throughout. Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for many distinctively notable sonic aspects and the recruitment of non-lexical singer Clare Torry. The album's iconic sleeve, designed by Storm Thorgerson, depicts a prism dispersing light into colour and represents the band's lighting, the record's thematic material, and keyboardist Richard Wright's \"simple and bold\" design request. •Stereo remastered album on heavyweight 180g vinyl •Original UK release date: March 1973 •Certified 15 times platinum in the US and 14 times platinum in the UK •Reached number one in the UK and the US •Topped Billboard Top LPs and Tapes and charted for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988 •Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best selling worldwide 2016 version Remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and Bernie Grundman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pink Floyd Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18316170428478,"sku":"196587202712","price":34.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/products\/darksideofthemoon.jpg?v=1544132111"},{"product_id":"r-e-m-automatic-for-the-people-lp-25th-anniversary-edition","title":"R.E.M. - Automatic for the People LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eWidely considered to be one of the best albums of the '90s, 1992's Automatic For the People followed R.E.M.'s breakthrough album, Out of Time, and did not disappoint.

The group has worked on their intricate, changeable sound since the early '90s, but on Exploded Drawing, it shows they've worked on their songwriting as well. The great majority of this hour-plus-long album is as listenable as it is inventive, particularly on the alternately shimmery and explosive \"Bridesmaid Blues\" and the angular \"Feather of Forgiveness.\" \"Light of the Moon\" sounds like a twisted cowboy ballad, and \"Missing Receipts\" is an eerie, echoing instrumental that exemplifies Polvo's experimental guitar play. Polvo doesn't forget to include the punk, as \"High-Wire Moves\" and \"Taste of Your Mind\" testify, but blues, Eastern music, folk, country, and ambient music also find their way into Exploded Drawing, giving each song a twisting, unpredictable quality. Though the album's length can lose some listeners, if the mood is right for arty guitar music, then Polvo's Exploded Drawing is the right choice. -All Music Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touch \u0026 Go Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39691314266174,"sku":null,"price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/products\/a3752624764_16.jpg?v=1643379968"},{"product_id":"meat-puppets-up-on-the-sun-lp","title":"Meat Puppets - Up on the Sun LP","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinyl version of the Meat Puppets' landmark 1985 album, reissued and remastered for vinyl.

Polvo was not only unique but prolific, putting out one or two releases a year during the band's initial lifespan. Not one of Polvo's records sound the same. Similar, perhaps, but Polvo is a continually evolving beast of many facets. On Shapes, Polvo stretch out in their guitar army postures and play some ROCK!

Farrar immediately made them feel right at home, which allowed the band to bring a sense of curiosity, commitment, and experimentation to the process. Dynamics were considered in songwriting as well as sequencing; off-kilter “77x” builds an eerie scene over a minimal slowcore foundation before the following track “Clover” thrusts into a playful headbanger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout \"Running From the Chase\" — whose title alludes to the need to balance one’s individual desires with external expectations and pressures — Harrington’s lyrics plunge into despair and frustration, confronting possibilities with a hint of hope and a strong undercurrent of dejection. The result is an album that’s sweeping and sophisticated, balancing considered introspection with a stunning, newly expanded sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2689383824\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/track=1404588685\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Double Whammy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46935054876959,"sku":null,"price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/a1545027485_16.jpg?v=1696436389"},{"product_id":"a-savage-several-songs-about-fire-lp","title":"A.

Savage of his second solo record, Several Songs about Fire. After more than a decade in New York, the co-frontman of Parquet Courts has left the city, marking his exit with a masterpiece of maturity and a worthy corollary to his first solo venture, 2017’s Thawing Dawn. “Fire is something you have to escape from.

Worrying questions of wealth and poverty, self and other, Savage displays the poet’s gift of knowing when to narrate and when to vanish, leaving the listener to their own emotional privacy rather than instructing them how to feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe end result is tantamount to psychic odyssey, with “Elvis in the Army” placing us in a subterranean venue where the livid, ratifying cymbal raises the room’s blood pressure and “Mountain Time”, evoking an austere waltz playing in a desolate house, returning those listening to life. Influenced by Sybille Baier and Townes Van Zandt, Savage joins a canon of songwriters constantly dilating aperture and perspective. In rendering the signage of laundromats and threats of debt collectors as glistering and totemic as the scope of mountains, rivers, seas, and skies, Savage finds hopes and curses in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1717786650\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=none\/track=620418365\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rough Trade","offers":[{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":46935610425631,"sku":null,"price":23.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ltd Purple Deluxe Edition w\/ Tip-On Sleeve LP","offer_id":46935610458399,"sku":null,"price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/a1505355003_16.jpg?v=1696444225"},{"product_id":"moonshake-eva-luna-deluxe-edition-2lp","title":"Moonshake - Eva Luna: Deluxe Edition 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Ltd edition blue vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe are excited to put Moonshake’s debut album Eva Luna back in print, and on October 6th, we will release a deluxe edition re-mastered from analogue ½” tape on double blue vinyl.

A one-man campaign to bring back the unitard as fashionable rock gear, Hawkins sings about sex, drugs, and Satan with the voice of a castrato, backed by arena-sized riffs and rhythms. The Darkness would be an utter failure if the band didn't write good songs, but miracle of miracles, they do. The first two-thirds of Permission to Land is nearly flawless, an eerily realistic simulation of '80s metal and '70s glam that manages to sound familiar but not rehashed. \"Black Shuck\" revels in pseudomystic gobbledygook like \"Flames licked round the sacred spire\"; on the great single \"Get Your Hands off My Woman,\" Hawkins sings \"woooomaaan\" higher than most women probably could. \"Growing on Me\" (which includes the great lyric \"I want to banish you from whence you came\") and \"I Believe in a Thing Called Love\" are tightly crafted songs that would sound good in almost any style, while \"Givin' Up\" is one of the jauntiest songs about heroin ever written. Even the prerequisite power ballad, \"Love Is Only a Feeling,\" stays on the fun side of cheesy, adrift on clouds of strummed guitars and gooey backing harmonies. The album has such a strong beginning and middle that it's not entirely surprising that Permission to Land runs out of steam near the end, although \"Stuck in a Rut\" is a crazed enough rocker -- complete with demonic laughter -- to nearly rival the album's earlier songs. Softer songs like \"Friday Night\" and \"Holding My Own\" make the collection unusually ballad-heavy; if anything, the Darkness could stand to rock a little harder. Even though Permission to Land isn't quite as metal as its singles suggested it might be, the album is surprisingly good, especially considering how bad the band's '80s metal revival could have been. It's hard to say whether or not the Darkness will take off in the States the way they did in their homeland; Hawkins' over-the-top vocals aside, the band may be hurt by the fact that most metal and hard rock popular in the U.S. is more concerned with brooding and angst than with having fun. But having fun is what Permission to Land is all about, even if it's just a guilty pleasure. -All Music Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46944635420959,"sku":null,"price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/darknesspermissiontoland.jpg?v=1696524012"},{"product_id":"run-the-jewels-run-the-jewels-10th-anniversary-edition-2lp","title":"Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels: 10th Anniversary Edition 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**2023 10th Anniversary Repress!

In keeping with the title's grotesque image of the human body, Bone Machine is obsessed with decay and mortality, the ease with which earthly existence can be destroyed. The arrangements are accordingly stripped of all excess flesh; the very few, often non-traditional instruments float in distinct separation over the clanking junkyard percussion that dominates the record. It's a chilling, primal sound made all the more otherworldly (or, perhaps, underworldly) by Waits' raspy falsetto and often-distorted roars and growls. Matching that evocative power is Waits' songwriting, which is arguably the most consistently focused it's ever been. Rich in strange and extraordinarily vivid imagery, many of Waits' tales and musings are spun against an imposing backdrop of apocalyptic natural fury, underlining the insignificance of his subjects and their universally impending doom. Death is seen as freedom for the spirit, an escape from the dread and suffering of life in this world -- which he paints as hellishly bleak, full of murder, suicide, and corruption. The chugging, oddly bouncy beats of the more uptempo numbers make them even more disturbing -- there's a detached nonchalance beneath the horrific visions. Even the narrator of the catchy, playful \"I Don't Wanna Grow Up\" seems hopeless in this context, but that song paves the way for the closer \"That Feel,\" an ode to the endurance of the human soul (with ultimate survivor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"name-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/artist\/keith-richards-mn0000767068\"\u003eKeith Richards\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on harmony vocals). The more upbeat ending hardly dispels the cloud of doom hanging over the rest of Bone Machine, but it does give the listener a gentler escape from that terrifying sonic world.

Jason Hawk Harris knows; he's been living in one for the last five years. \"The process of grieving my mother's death, of watching my life kind of fall apart around me brought me to this weird sort of nirvana,\" he explains. \"In those moments, I could feel these different worlds colliding around me, and I knew I wanted to find a way to capture it.\" With his extraordinary new album, Thin Places, Harris has done precisely that. Written from start to finish as one continuous artistic statement, the set draws on Harris' extensive background in classical music to create a work of beauty, pain, and catharsis. Blurring the lines between country, gospel, soul, and chamber folk, the songs here are deeply personal, staring down loss, self-destruction, and recovery with unflinching honesty, and the arrangements are similarly bold and cinematic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloodshot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46953735520543,"sku":null,"price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1575\/8523\/files\/jasonhawkharristhinplaces.jpg?v=1696607739"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bullcityrecords.com\/collections\/october-2023-new-releases.oembed","provider":"Chaz's Bull City Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
