This visual documentary of the making of The Dark Side of the Moon is everything it
should be. There are interviews with all four of the band members, as
well as some music critics and key associates like engineer Alan
Parsons, sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson, and mix supervisor Chris
Thomas; some vintage footage of the band working on the material in the
studio; and, perhaps most exciting of all to those already familiar with
the basic story, some excerpts of bare demos of songs that ended up on
the album. It seems like Nick Mason doesn't have as much to say about
the project as the others (particularly Waters and Gilmour), but the
band's articulate on both the development of the music and, in Waters's
case, the lyrical themes. Richard Wright, for his part, has a nice bit
where he discusses the Miles Davis-derived source for one of the
particularly memorable chords in "Breathe." There are some other stories
which aren't overly familiar, like the source of some of the
spoken-word aphorisms mixed into the background, the discussion over
cover design selection, and "Us and Them"'s roots in material the band
recorded for the Zabriskie Point soundtrack. The participation of
session vocalists (particularly Claire Torry's scatting on "The Great
Gig in the Sky"), and saxophonist Dick Parry is also discussed, though
unfortunately there's no interview material with any of them.
