Time was released on Pink Floyd's 8th studio album, The Dark Side of the Moon in the winter of 1973. The Dark Side of the Moon's themes include conflict, greed, the passage of time and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by founding member Syd Barrett's deteriorating mental state.
The suite was developed during live performances and was premiered several months before studio recording began. The new material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road Studios in London. The group used some of the most advanced recording techniques of the time, including multitrack recording and tape loops. Analogue synthesisers were given prominence in several tracks, and a series of recorded interviews with the band's road crew and others provided the philosophical quotations used throughout. Engineer Alan Parsons was directly responsible for some of the most notable sonic aspects of the album, and the recruitment of non-lexical performer Clare Torry. The album's iconic sleeve features a prism that represents the band's stage lighting, the record's lyrical themes, and keyboardist Richard Wright's request for a "simple and bold" design.
The Dark Side of the Moon was an immediate success, topping the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart for one week. It subsequently remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history. With an estimated 50 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. It has twice been remastered and re-released, and has been covered in its entirety by several other acts. It spawned two singles, "Money" and "Time". In addition to its commercial success, The Dark Side of the Moon is one of Pink Floyd's most popular albums among fans and critics, and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
I'd worked up most of the elements for this video many months ago, but never completed the video since it appeared that it wouldn't be available for view to very many people. I went ahead an incorporated most of elements I'd created into a video for David Bowie's "Time"...mostly the various clock effects, masks, etc.....anyone familiar with that earlier video will instantly recognize many of the effects. Used mostly the earlier created pyramid/sphynx/desert imagery in place of the heavy Dali imagery used in the Bowie vid. There are a few interesting effects in this other "Time" video if you are interested....another really great tune!
Anyway thanks so much to the people who's art contributed to the creation of this video:

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the...
