I love Dark Side of the Moon.
I was given it as a young bloke for my birthday. It blew my mind.
Then didn't listen to it until my late teens. It blew my mind again...
Into my Uni years and rediscovered it again, with all the other associated pleasures of "expanding" one's mind.
It then laid buried at the bottom of a box for the best part of a decade.
Into my 30s and listened to it again in the late 90s... loved it with a renewed passion and appreciation that comes with entering a more "mature" phase of life.
Now 39 ... I recently moved house and found it again while unpacking boxes.
Had a few quiet beers... put the album on and you could have knocked me sideways with a feather. It was like catching up with an old friend, only better. All the memories of the last 3 decades came flooding back.
And yes... I even found a few more subtle nuances which weren't apparent to me during the last period of our acquaintence.
This is the mark of a great album. It grows with you, revealing more of its greatness as you are capable of unravelling it.
Other than that ........... it just rocks!!!!!!
