The Darkside Prism...

I've heard twenty or so explinations on what the the Dark Side Of The Moon prism means... whether it be. "Figure out HOW the light goes through the black prism!" or "Pink Floyd likes light... period."

But not only am I confused about that, wot's.. uh, the deal with changing the prism into a solid one when they remastered it? I See a ray of light oming from the corner, which I guess means that it's not really solid but... it's glare coming from the ray of light... but I don't know. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

Heheh, I'm punny.

Re: The Darkside Prism...

Personally I find the prism is a representation of us, that is people. The light is life and when it touches people, it splinters and thus becomes more complex. Really, its down to you what the prism means. People have just put their own personal meaning to that prism so that any original meaning it had (if it did have one) is not there anymore.

As to why the prism is solid on the remastered version I don't know. Maybe it was just for a change.

Re: The Darkside Prism...

The white line is you before you listen to the album.

The coloured lines are you after you listen to the album.


Well, that's what I like to think anyway.

Re: The Darkside Prism...

I like shine on's analagy, whether its true or not. and i like ure signature thing fkbness.

i always take the line that (explicit ie not shine on) art is always subjective, an interrection between the viewer/listener/etc. so as to the meanning of the designer i dont know, and i dont want to.

I agree. Your signature is very clever, FBKness. I like it.

Re: The Darkside Prism...

I think the prism thing is more like a thing to put on an album cover.

Re: The Darkside Prism...

It's a reference to the stupidity of Pink Floyd synchs with various movies.

Re: The Darkside Prism...

You mean those synchs people discover because they've got a lot of time on their hands? Waste of time.
