AnteS, Power trio 2/3 Madrileño y 1/3 Burgalés. Nuestra historia se remonta a la primera vez que nos juntamos el día 3 de Marzo de 2014. Al poco, grabamos nuestro primer Ep llamado “6eis” en los estudios Q producido por Guillermo Quero ( El bicho, Amaral, U2…) y la asistencia técnica de Jimmy Summers. Ese trabajo nos permitió girar por muchos puntos de nuestra geografía y hacernos nuestro pequeño hueco en el mundo del rock alternativo en castellano. Ahora, tras rodar ensayar y componer, engendramos TRIÁNGULOS, nuestro primer LP, grabado a finales del 2016 entre Abuelita Studios, Barcelona y Energia Estudios, Madrid y producido por nosotros. El disco sale a la luz el día 1 de Marzo. Este disco será nuestra humilde carta de presentación y nuestro grito al mundo. Hemos intentado ser muy contundentes, tener un sonido propio, ser muy duros pero a la vez finos, conseguir melodías pegadizas en castellano, ser épicos etc… No sabemos si lo hemos conseguido o no, juzga tú mismo, pero lo que sí que sabemos es que hemos hecho lo que hemos querido y que hemos hecho un disco lo mas original posible.

Steven Tyler cumple 69 años

Steven Victor Tallarico (Yonkers, Nueva York, 26 de marzo de 1948), mejor conocido en la industria de la música como Steven Tyler es un músico, compositor, actor y multiinstrumentista1 líder y vocalista de la banda de rock estadounidense Aerosmith. Conformó el jurado del reconocido programa de talentos American Idol. Es conocido por la habilidad de ejecutar varios instrumentos musicales. En 2008 la revista Rolling Stone lo eligió como uno de los 100 mejores cantantes de la historia y también lo eligió en el puesto 57 como uno de los 100 más grandes artistas de todos los tiempos. Asimismo, fue escogido por la revista estadounidense Hit Parader como el 3.er. mejor vocalista de Heavy metal de todos los tiempos sólo superado por Robert Plant y Rob Halford respectivamente. Además figura en el puesto 13 en la lista de los 40 mejores vocalistas de rock de todos los tiempos, según la estación de radio digital Planet Rock. En 2005 la revista estadounidense de música Blender y la cadena musical MTV2 lo seleccionaron como uno de los mejores vocalistas figurando en el puesto 16 de una la lista de 22 artistas.6 Fue elegido según el sello discográfico Roadrunner Records como uno de los mejores cantantes de música Metal ubicándolo en el puesto 8 de una lista de 50 intérpretes. En 2001 es premiado por la cadena musical VH1 por ser el rockero con mejor estilo en los VH1 Fashion Awards. En 2001 Steven Tyler fue incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Rock junto con Aerosmith.

 Steven Tyler (born Steven Victor Tallarico; March 26, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and former television music competition judge, best known as the lead singer of the Boston-based rock band Aerosmith, in which he also plays the harmonica, and occasional piano and percussion. He is known as the "Demon of Screamin'" due to his high screams and his wide vocal range. He is also known for his on-stage acrobatics. During his high-energy performances, Tyler usually dresses in bright, colorful outfits with his trademark scarves hanging from his microphone stand. In the 1970s, Tyler rose to prominence as the lead singer of Aerosmith, which released such milestone hard rock albums as Toys in the Attic and Rocks, along with a string of hit singles, including "Dream On", "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way". In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tyler had a heavy drug and alcohol addiction and the band's popularity waned. Tyler and bandmate Joe Perry became known as the "Toxic Twins" due to their drug abuse. In 1986, Tyler completed drug rehabilitation and Aerosmith rose to prominence again when Tyler and Perry joined Run–D.M.C. for a re-make of the classic Aerosmith song "Walk This Way", which became a Top 5 hit. Aerosmith subsequently launched a remarkable comeback with the multi-platinum albums Permanent Vacation, Pump, Get a Grip and Nine Lives, which produced a combined thirteen Top 40 singles and won the band numerous awards. During this time, the band embarked on their longest and most extensive concert tours, promoted their singles with conceptual music videos and made notable appearances in television, film and video games. In the wake of this success, Tyler emerged as one of the most enduring rock icons. Since the late 1980s, he has embarked on several solo endeavors including guest appearances on other artists' music (working with artists as diverse as Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Santana, Pink and Keith Anderson), film and TV roles (including as a judge on American Idol and several cameo and guest appearances in other programs and films), authoring a bestselling book and solo work (including the Top 40 hit single "(It) Feels So Good" in 2011). While tension with his Aerosmith bandmates boiled in 2009 and 2010 after he fell off the stage at a concert, had a relapse with prescription drugs (which he successfully received treatment for in 2009), and signed on to American Idol without telling his bandmates, Tyler has continued to record music and perform with Aerosmith, after more than 46 years in the band. In May 2015, Tyler released the country single "Love Is Your Name", followed by the second single "Red, White & You" in January 2016; his debut solo album, We're All Somebody from Somewhere, was released on July 15, 2016. Tyler is included among Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers. He was ranked third on Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time. In 2001, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Aerosmith and in 2013, Tyler and his songwriting partner Joe Perry received the ASCAP Founders Award and were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

42 años de la pelicula Tommy

Tommy es la adaptación cinematográfica de la ópera rock de The Who homónima, realizada por el director inglés Ken Russell en 1975. Además de la banda integrada por Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey (que interpreta a Tommy) y Keith Moon, participan en algunos números musicales Tina Turner (La Reina del Ácido), Elton John (Pinball Wizard) y Eric Clapton (El Predicador). También actúan Jack Nicholson, Ann Margret, Oliver Reed y Robert Powell. La cinta fue presentada en el Festival de Cannes de 1975 fuera de competición. Basada íntegramente en la ópera-rock compuesta por Pete Townshend y The Who, es un musical que cuenta la historia de un niño que queda ciego, sordo y mudo como consecuencia del trauma sufrido al contemplar el asesinato accidental de su padre (el cual se supone falleció años atrás) a manos del nuevo marido de su madre. Tommy, que además de los traumas aparentemente psicológicos, es autista, sufrirá una niñez y adolescencia difíciles y llenas de penurias, hasta que debido a sus singulares características se convertirá en estrella mundial del pinball e ídolo de masas, iniciando un culto que será sórdidamente administrado por sus parientes. Ken Rusell tenía ya en mente, guion y todo, hacer un film sobre las falsas religiones, las sectas, etc. Eso unido a su afición a la música clásica, le atrajo mucho la versión orquestada del disco homónimo de los Who, que según Townshend fue descisivo para que se involucrara de lleno en el proyecto, que tras algún paso por alguna major de Hollywood, cuya producción fue a parar a la Robert Stigwood Organization-RSO, fue la verdadera primera ópera rock de la historia del cine (si contar con Hair y El Fantasma del Paraíso, más musicales de Broadway adaptadas al cine) Desde un primer momento siempre se pensó en Roger Daltrey para el papel principal. Lou Reed se pensó como Acid Queen. Rod Stewart iba a interpretar el papel de Elton John, pero éste lo convenció de que no lo hiciera y tomó el papel él mismo. Sin embargo Pete Townshend asegura, en el especial edición 30 aniversario que era Stevie Wonder el que iba hacer de "Local Lad" CHAMP, -el personaje que compite con TOMMY-, pero su representante a última hora se lo desaconsejó. La escena con Jack Nicholson tardó 18 horas en filmarse. Se aprovechó su estancia en el Festival de Cannes aquel mismo año para compatibilizar la ocasión con la agenda ocupada del actor norteamericano y rodar la escena en una habitación. Clapton participó en el film como agradecimiento, ya que Townshend lo había ayudado a curar su adicción a las drogas. El film se estrenó en un innovador sonido primegenio del actual Dolby 5.1. De hecho el documental del 30 aniversario, da entender que Dolby se aprovechó de todos esos avances y perfecionó su propio sistema, sobre la base fallida que fue un denominado sonido "quintasound", y en avance al entonces en boga sonido cuadrafónico.

 Tommy is a 1975 British musical fantasy drama film based upon The Who's 1969 rock opera album Tommy. Directed by Ken Russell, the film featured a star-studded ensemble cast, including the band members themselves (most notably, lead singer Roger Daltrey, who plays the title role), Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John, Arthur Brown, and Jack Nicholson. Ann-Margret received a Golden Globe Award for her performance, and was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. Pete Townshend was also nominated for an Oscar for his work in scoring and adapting the music for the film. The film was shown at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition. In 1975, the film won the award for Rock Movie of the Year in the First Annual Rock Music Awards. "Prologue 1945". A montage displays the honeymoon of Captain Walker (Robert Powell) and his wife, Nora (Ann-Margret). After his leave ends, Walker goes off to fight in World War II as a bomber pilot, but is shot down in the middle of a battle. "Captain Walker" is listed as missing in action and is presumed dead, although—unknown to his family—the badly burned Walker is in fact alive. Back in England, Nora goes into labor and gives birth to a son, Tommy, on V-E Day. Five years later, Nora has begun a new relationship with Frank (Oliver Reed), a worker she and Tommy meet at "Bernie's Holiday Camp". Tommy looks up to his "Uncle" Frank and expresses his desires to run his own camp some day. In "1951" Nora and Frank dream of their future, but, late that evening, encounter the returning Captain Walker. He surprises Frank and Nora in bed, leading to a struggle and the Captain's subsequent murder by a lamp. Tommy, having followed his father into the room, has witnessed everything. Panicking, Nora and Frank frantically plead with Tommy, insisting that he witnessed nothing and must keep quiet. This, combined with the trauma of his father's sudden and violent death, sends Tommy into a psychedelia-like "Amazing Journey", in which, outwardly, he cannot see, hear or speak. As time passes, Nora and Frank make several fruitless attempts to bring Tommy out of his state, including a Preacher (Eric Clapton) and his Marilyn Monroe worshipping cult, an LSD serving cocotte and self-proclaimed "Acid Queen", (Tina Turner), Tommy's bullying "Cousin Kevin" (Paul Nicholas), and his perverted "Uncle" Ernie (Keith Moon) who both abuse him in their own way but Tommy does not react despite his anguish. Nora and Frank begin to become more and more lethargic and leave Tommy standing at the mirror one night, allowing him to wander off. He follows a vision of himself out of the house and to a pinball machine in a junkyard. Tommy is recognized by Nora, Frank, and the media as a pinball prodigy, which is even more impressive with his catatonic state. During a championship game, Tommy faces the pinball world champion, a "Pinball Wizard" (Elton John) with the Who serving as his backing band. Nora watches her son's victory on television, and celebrates his (and her) success with "Champagne", but soon has a nervous breakdown upon thinking about the real extremes of Tommy's deficiency. Later, Frank finds a Specialist (Jack Nicholson) for Tommy. The Specialist, upon testing the boy, concludes that his state is emotionally, rather than physically triggered and the only hope is for him to continue to "Go to the Mirror". During the tests, Nora and the Specialist flirt, much to Frank's jealousy. Nora more and more frustrated with Tommy's state, eventually being prompted to "Smash the Mirror" by throwing him through it. This incidentally resurges Tommy from his state and he runs around, proclaiming "I'm Free". Eventually, "Mother and Son" reunite when Nora finds Tommy and explains what has happened during the time he has missed, while Tommy reveals that his experiences have transformed him and that he wishes to transform the world. As news of Tommy's "Miracle Cure" spreads, Tommy spreads a message of enlightenment about the world, disrupting violence and making friends, and followers, everywhere he goes. He becomes a self-proclaimed "Sensation", deciding to go on a lecturing tour. Tommy-fever is so ecstatic that fans such as "Sally Simpson" get injured in attempts to simply touch him. Tommy, along with a more enlightened and elated Nora and Frank, "Welcome" converts to their house, which quickly becomes too crowded to accommodate everyone. Tommy opens an extension for his religious compound, calling it "Tommy's Holiday Camp". The converts express their disdain for the commercialism of the compound and demand Tommy teach them something more useful. When he does so by actually deafening, muting, and blinding everyone, Tommy is criticized further, leading to his followers to riot and destroying the camp in a fire, killing Nora and Frank in the process. Tommy finds his parents in the debris and mourns, escaping the burning camp and fleeing into the mountains, where he ascends the same peak where his parents celebrated their honeymoon, celebrating the rising sun.

45 años del disco Machine Head de Deep Purple

Machine Head es el sexto álbum de estudio de la banda británica de hard rock Deep Purple. Fue grabado en el Grand Hôtel de Montreux, Suiza, en diciembre de 1971 y editado el 25 marzo de 1972. Este álbum es a menudo citado como uno de los más influyentes en el posterior desarrollo del heavy metal. Es el trabajo más exitoso de la banda, alcanzando el número uno en varias listas de éxitos internacionales gracias, en parte, al tema "Smoke on the Water", uno de los temas más conocidos de la banda, con uno de los riffs más identificables del hard rock. En 2001, la revista Q lo catalogó en el puesto 50 de su lista de Los álbumes más pesados de todos los tiempos.

 Machine Head is the sixth studio album released by the English rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded through December 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland, and released in March 1972. Machine Head is often cited as a major influence in the early development of the heavy metal music genre. Commercially, it is Deep Purple's most successful album, topping the charts in several countries following its release. The album reached number 1 in the United Kingdom and stayed in the top 40 for 20 weeks. It reached number 7 in the United States, remaining on the Billboard 200 for 118 weeks. Deep Purple initially planned to record Machine Head in December 1971, at Montreux Casino in Switzerland. A mobile recording studio owned by the Rolling Stones had been booked and hotel reservations made, but lead singer Ian Gillan contracted hepatitis. Cancelling a forthcoming tour of America, the band placed all their plans on hold, and Gillan was advised by his doctor to spend the next few months recuperating. Nevertheless, enthused by the new project, the band travelled to Switzerland to begin recording. The Casino was a large arena built in a complex of casinos, restaurants and other entertainment facilities. The band had performed there in May 1971 and enjoyed both the location and its owner, Claude Nobs. Amongst others, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath had all performed there. The Casino closed for refurbishments each winter, and so the band arrived there on 3 December. One last concert date remained, following which they were to have the location to themselves. Frank Zappa's concert of 4 December at the Casino was made infamous when a member of the audience fired a flare into the building's roof. Although there were no fatalities, the resultant fire ruined Deep Purple's plans.[4] Nobs relocated the band to a nearby theatre called the Pavilion, where they recorded the basic tracks for a song provisionally named "Title No. 1". Bass player Roger Glover said he woke up one morning saying the title "Smoke on the Water" out loud. Later Gillan, based on the title, wrote the lyrics describing the band's experience in Montreux, recording the Machine Head album. A photograph of the burning Montreux Casino would ultimately be included in the gatefold of Machine Head's album cover. We had the Rolling Stones' mobile recording unit sitting outside in the snow, but to get there we had to run cable through two doors in the corridor into a room, through a bathroom and into another room, from which it went across a bed and out the veranda window, then ran along the balcony for about 100 feet and came back in through another bedroom window. It then went through that room's bathroom and into another corridor, then all the way down a marble staircase to the foyer reception area of the hotel, out the front door, across the courtyard and up the steps into the back of the mobile unit. I think that setup led to capturing some spontaneity, because once we got to the truck for a playback, even if we didn't think it was a perfect take, we'd go, 'Yeah, that's good enough.' Because we just couldn't stand going back again As a new location the Pavilion proved to be impractical, as nearby residents flooded the local police station's switchboard to complain about the noise the band made. Although the police were prevented from entering the building by the band's roadies, who held the venue's doors shut, the band were quickly evicted. They searched for other locations in which to record and settled on the empty Grand Hotel, on the edge of Montreux. With the mobile recording unit parked at the main entrance, they set up at the end of one of the building's corridors, off the main lobby. An assortment of equipment and sound-insulating mattresses meant that to get to the recording van the band were forced to walk through bedrooms and across balconies. This proved so arduous that they stopped listening to playbacks of their recordings, instead performing until they were satisfied with what they had. A song entitled "When a Blind Man Cries" was recorded during these sessions, but not included on the album. Instead, it was used as the B-side on the "Never Before" single. The song appears as a bonus track on the album's 25th anniversary edition. The supporting tour for Machine Head included a trip to Japan that would later become the double-live Made in Japan album. Four songs off Machine Head ("Highway Star", "Smoke on the Water", "Lazy" and "Space Truckin'") would be included on the final cut of the original Made in Japan LP..

Muere Chuck Berry a los 90 años

Charles Edward Anderson Berry (Saint Louis, Misuri, 18 de octubre de 1926-Ibídem, 18 de marzo de 2017), conocido artísticamente como Chuck Berry, fue un compositor, intérprete y guitarrista estadounidense. Es considerado uno de los músicos más influyentes de la historia del rock and roll, siendo uno de los pioneros de dicho género musical. Gracias a canciones como "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) y "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry redefinió los elementos del rhythm and blues, creando las bases del rock and roll. La revista Rolling Stone lo presenta como el intérprete n.º 5 en su lista "The Immortals", que reúne a los mejores artistas musicales, superado solo por The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley y The Rolling Stones, y como el sexto mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos. Asimismo, "Johnny B. Goode" su canción más popular, es considerada la mejor canción de guitarra de la historia del rock and roll, según la misma revista.6 Por su legado al género rock ganó en 2014 el Premio Polar, considerado el "Premio Nobel de la música".

Charles Edward Anderson "Chuck" Berry (October 18, 1926 – March 18, 2017) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as "Maybellene" (1955), "Roll Over Beethoven" (1956), "Rock and Roll Music" (1957) and "Johnny B. Goode" (1958), Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and music featuring guitar solos and showmanship that were a major influence on subsequent rock music. Born into a middle-class African-American family in St. Louis, Missouri, Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student he was convicted of armed robbery and was sent to a reformatory, where he was held from 1944 to 1947. After his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. Berry claimed on The Tonight Show he was influenced primarily by 1940s swing artist Louis Jordan. "The main guy was Louis Jordan. I wanted to sing like Nat Cole, with lyrics like Louis Jordan with the swing of Bennie Goodman with Charlie Christian on guitar, playing Carl Hogan's riffs, with the soul of Muddy Waters." By early 1953, influenced by the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of the blues musician T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio. His break came when he traveled to Chicago in May 1955 and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess, of Chess Records. With Chess he recorded "Maybellene"—Berry's adaptation of the country song "Ida Red"—which sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard magazine's rhythm and blues chart. By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star with several hit records and film appearances and a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis nightclub, Berry's Club Bandstand. But in January 1962, he was sentenced to three years in prison for offenses under the Mann Act—he had transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines. After his release in 1963 after serving 20 months of the three years, Berry had more hits in the mid-1960s, including "No Particular Place to Go", "You Never Can Tell", and "Nadine". By the mid-1970s, he was more in demand as a live performer, playing his past hits with local backup bands of variable quality.[3] In 1979 he served 120 days in prison for tax evasion. Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986; he was cited for having "laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance." Berry is included in several of Rolling Stone magazine's "greatest of all time" lists; he was ranked fifth on its 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll includes three of Berry's: "Johnny B. Goode", "Maybellene", and "Rock and Roll Music". Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" is the only rock-and-roll song included on the Voyager Golden Record.

Nuevo disco de Eduard Iniesta "La petita casa de mi mateix"

Eduard Iniesta i Torres (Barcelona, 2 de març de 1968) és un compositor català especialitzat en instruments de doble corda de la Mediterrània. El seu interès pels instruments de doble corda li ve de les agrupacions de corda (rondalles) catalanes i mallorquines, que havia escoltat de petit. Aquestes textures sonores i el seu interès per la música popular, el va influir en la sonoritat de les seves composicions, que acostuma a vestir amb alguns dels més de 40 instruments que toca de Grècia, Turquia, Egipte o Portugal. Llicenciat en Dret a la Universitat de Barcelona, Eduard Iniesta va compaginar el seu inicial període d'aprenentatge musical simultàniament amb els estudis de Dret fins a la seva llicenciatura. Durant una llarga etapa, el compositor va viatjar a països com Turquia, Grècia, Síria o Portugal per tal d'aprofundir en el coneixement dels instruments de corda autòctons. La seva música és bàsicament portuària perquè neix a Barcelona, on hi arriben les influències culturals dels països que l'envolten, fet que afegeix matisos i colors a la seva obra.

Hoy Lou Reed cumpliria 75 años

Lewis Allen Reed, más conocido como Lou Reed (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 2 de marzo de 1942 – Southampton, Estado de Nueva York, 27 de octubre de 2013),1 fue un poeta, cantante, guitarrista y compositor de rock, considerado el padre del rock alternativo, primero como líder del grupo The Velvet Underground y luego en solitario. Enormemente influyente en la cultura pop desde la década de 1960, entre sus discos suelen destacarse Transformer (1972), Berlin (1973), Rock'n'Roll Animal (1976), Live: Take No Prisoners (1978), New York (1989) y, entre sus actuaciones en directo, el concierto ofrecido en el Meltdown Festival en 1998: Perfect Night Live in London. Nacido en Brooklyn, residió habitualmente en Nueva York; ciudad cuya faceta menos amable plasmó en muchas de sus letras. Hizo colaboraciones y contactos con creadores como Andy Warhol y David Bowie. Su original estilo e influencia le generó gran fama entre las vanguardias musicales posteriores, fama a la que no fue ajena su ajetreada vida personal durante sus años de mayor éxito. Sin embargo, Reed fue considerado habitualmente como un músico «de culto», ajeno en parte a las listas de éxitos y el marketing de las multinacionales discográficas. En su época de The Velvet Underground (1964-70) escribió canciones especialmente reconocidas, como "Heroin", "Rock and Roll", "I'm Waiting for the Man" y "Sweet Jane". Su mayor éxito comercial, sin embargo, es una canción posterior: "Walk on the Wild Side" (1972), que dio visibilidad a la prostitución y la transexualidad; una temática que hasta la fecha la música rock no solía abordar. En mayo de 2013 Lou Reed fue sometido a una operación de trasplante de hígado. Pero esta intervención no solventó sus problemas de salud, y el músico falleció el 27 de octubre del mismo año en Southampton (Nueva York).

Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter. He was the guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter of the Velvet Underground, and his solo career spanned five decades. The Velvet Underground was unsuccessful during their active years, but gained a significant cult following to become one of the most widely acclaimed and influential bands in rock history.[2] Brian Eno famously stated that, while the Velvet Underground's debut album sold only 30,000 copies, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band". Reed's solo career began in 1972. He had a hit the following year with "Walk on the Wild Side", but this level of mainstream commercial success was not repeated. Reed was known for his distinctive deadpan voice and poetic lyrics, and for pioneering and coining the term ostrich guitar tuning. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time included two albums by Reed as a solo artist: Transformer and Berlin, and also included the Velvet Underground albums The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, The Velvet Underground and Loaded.

44 años de The Dark Side of the Moon

The Dark Side of the Moon  es un álbum conceptual, el octavo de estudio de la banda británica de rock progresivo Pink Floyd. Fue lanzado el 1 de marzo de 1973 en Estados Unidos y el 24 de marzo del mismo año en el Reino Unido. El álbum está construido a partir de las ideas que Pink Floyd había explorado en sus conciertos y anteriores grabaciones, pero carece de las largas piezas instrumentales que caracterizaban a los trabajos posteriores a la marcha en 1968 de su miembro fundador, principal compositor y letrista, Syd Barrett. La temática del álbum incluye el conflicto, la avaricia, el envejecimiento y la enfermedad mental, este último tema inspirado en parte por el deterioro mental de Barrett. El álbum se desarrolló como parte de una futura gira de la banda, estrenándose en directo varios meses antes de que siquiera hubieran comenzado las grabaciones en el estudio. El nuevo material se fue refinando a medida que avanzaba la gira, y fue grabado en dos sesiones en 1972 y 1973 en los Abbey Road Studios de Londres. Pink Floyd usó algunas de las técnicas de grabación más avanzadas de la época, incluyendo grabaciones multipista y loops. En varias de las pistas se usaron sintetizadores analógicos, mientras que una serie de entrevistas con la banda y el equipo técnico aparecen a lo largo del álbum en forma de citas filosóficas. Alan Parsons fue el responsable de algunos de los aspectos sónicos más innovadores del álbum, incluyendo la interpretación no léxica de Clare Torry. Un masivo éxito comercial, el álbum llegó a lo más alto de la lista Billboard 200 durante una semana. y permaneció en las listas 889 semanas (más de 17 años), siendo así el álbum que más tiempo ha permanecido en listas de la historia. Con una estimación de ventas de 45 millones de copias, es uno de los álbumes con mayores ventas del mundo y el más exitoso de Pink Floyd. Ha sido remasterizado y reeditado en dos ocasiones, además de haber sido versionado por varias bandas. Del álbum se extrajeron dos sencillos: «Money» y «Us and Them». Además de su éxito comercial, The Dark Side of the Moon fue altamente aclamado por la crítica y está considerado un trabajo seminal en la historia del rock, con muchas listas y rankings considerándolo entre los mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos y continúa siendo el álbum más popular de la banda tanto entre sus seguidores y como con la crítica especializada.

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest Records. The album built on ideas explored in earlier recordings and live shows, but lacks the extended instrumental excursions following the departure of founding member and principal contributor, Syd Barrett, in 1968 that characterised their earlier work. It thematically explores conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett's deteriorating mental state. Developed during live performances, an early version was premiered several months before recording began; new material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road in London. The group used some advanced recording techniques at the time, including multitrack recording and tape loops. Analogue synthesizers were prominent in several tracks, and snippets from recorded interviews with Pink Floyd's road crew and others provided philosophical quotations throughout. Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for many distinctively notable sonic aspects and the recruitment of non-lexical singer Clare Torry. The album's iconic sleeve, designed by Storm Thorgerson, depicts a prism spectrum and represents the band's lighting, the record's thematic material, and keyboardist Richard Wright's "simple and bold" design request. The album was an immediate commercial and critical success; it topped the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart for a week and remained in the chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling worldwide. It has been remastered and re-released twice, and covered in its entirety by several other acts. It produced two singles, "Money" and "Us and Them", and is the band's most popular album among fans and critics, being ranked as one of the greatest albums of all time.
