Was this album made, on purpose, to go along with the Wizard of Oz movie? Found it online and watched it. There are several scenes that fit perfectly with the songs. It makes you think maybe it was done on purpose. Watch for yourself and see what you think: (it's 43 minutes long) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4935715412555856092&q=wizard+of+oz&hl=en
Theres always been rumors that this works, havent tried it myself though. It couldnt have been made on purpose...just a random thing some stoners prob found out one day.
If you have "other" substances around it works much better than if you just try to watch it sober. My homeowners association did an outdoor movie last fall, the early show was Wizard Of Oz and the late show was Dark Side Of Oz. It made for a good night.
uh...we tried that one in college...it syncs up with the movie for like the first 10 minutes and then thats it...
It's pretty close in alot of parts... The alarm clock starts almost perfectly with the on screen of the old lady come to take Toto Crescendos with Dorothy falling off the fence The wailing lady during the house in the tornado scene The infamous start of Money as the movie goes color. That's as far as I am right now..... it definatley goes longer than ten minutes as I am 25 minutes into the clip and it still hits at some key spots.
I have never tried it but I have read many times that the band members have denied doing this on purpose. Another one, supposedly, is the synchronization of the stargate sequence of 2001 with the Floyd song, "Echoes".
It actually works for the entire movie You can download the movie with the audio taken out and replaced by the album from torrent sites and such.
"Balancing on the biggest wave" lyric as Dorothy is balancing on the fence of the pigpen. The song "Money" kicks in just as the movie goes colorized "The Lunatic is on the grass" lyric just as the Scarecrow begins jumping around on the yellow brick road. The heartbeating just as the tinman is saying he needs a heart. Seems like a lot of coincidences going on
There is a bootleg DVD that an employee of Home Shopping Network made, I think in the 80's, called "Saucerful Of Floyd Videos". It has "Echoes" synched to NASA stock footage of the moon landing mixed in with parts of a 1920's film called "Trip To The Moon". It starts with the Astronauts suiting up and ends with them leaving the moon. It's absolutely incredible.
Awesome. Not quite the same without the big screen, surround sound and a head full of mushrooms, though.
yes, the thing i would point out is that there are alot of lyrics that seem to be following the plot of the movie. too much to be a coincidence, at least.
ya know, probably the most erie coincidence: song: "Great Gig in the Sky" Scene: the tornado hits anyone else catch that? EDIT: also, as soon as Dorothy is knocked out cold, The Great Gig in the Sky goes from the intense part of the song to the very mellow part
wow, after watching the first 3 minutes of that, i have no idea if it synchs up or not, but i do know i would rather be bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat than watch the final 21 minutes. non-"another brick in the wall" pink floyd songs and 2001: a space odyssey, two of the things i hate most combined in one convenient video. in all of the times i've ever caught parts of 2001 on tv and now this video, i have yet to see anything happen. ever. i just don't get the appeal.
