8-Bit Dark Side of the Moon

Brad Smith, a video game programmer out of Ontario, has re-created the legendary "Dark Side of the Moon" album by Pink Floyd.

However this is no ordinary re-creation with instruments and band members. He has done it within the bounds of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). That's right...an entire rock album in all it's 8-BIT glory.

Head over to the official site for links to download the album in it's entirety or to stream tracks individually over on YouTube.

Here's a sneak peak at the great track, "Money"

The Dark Side of Planet Earth

Wow Alert!

This is an awesome mash-up of Pink Floyd's epic, "Dark Side of the Moon" with the first episode of the BBC's, "Planet Earth" television series.

My hat's off and a round of applause to Allan Corbett, who thought of the idea and created the amazing video. The audio and video tracks are completely unedited and are ripped of the original vinyl and DVD issues of each work.

In my opinion, some of scenes from this movie work better than the ever classic, "Dark Side of OZ"

You can find more awesome work and ideas on Allan's website here.


(PS - oh...and this might be a great time check out the awesome online mash-up creator, "YouTube Doubler". It really doesn't get any easier than this...just provide two YouTube links and it automatically mashes them up in two separate players side by side. It couldn't possibly be any easier or more fun...give it a whirl.)
