This is going to sound really stereotypical, but this weekend I experimented with some different sandwiches and this album by Pink Floyd, and you may have heard of it, The Dark Side of the Moon was turned on. Maybe this'll sound sacrilegious to some, but I had never listened to the band before. I knew who they were and all but yo... when Speak To Me/Breathe kicked on... I was transported to another dimension. It was scary at first but I quickly adjusted to my new reality and proceeded to have one of the most mind-blowing sonic experiences of my life.

One thing I really enjoyed about this album was the experimentation. I can't even imagine what it must have been like hearing this for the first time in 1973. Money is ridiculous. The vocals are so smooth and I couldn't imagine any other voice over this shit. And it was great music for the occasion... But I couldn't help but picture another occasion perfect for this album. Sex. This is great sex music.

Can anyone hook me up with some more progressive/psychedelic rock with a similar spacey sound like The Dark Side of the Moon has? I just listened to The Wall by Pink Floyd and while I thought it was great and will surely be listening to it again, I preferred the more psychedelic sound of The Dark Side of the Moon. Admittedly, I was 100% less fucked during that The Wall listen.
