Some dude on the interwebs recently decided to mix BBC’s Planet Earth with Pink Floyd’s epic album Dark Side of the Moon (which happens to be one of my favorite albums). And if you happen to watch it, you’ll notice that the music and the video blend quite well together. Indeed, it is quite uncanny how the scene transitions and music changes sync up so harmoniously. One cannot help but wonder if these two mediums were somehow engineered to fit together.

Although the video was originally posted on Vimeo, it was taken off due to copyright infringement. Nevertheless, it can be recreated by starting both the video and the audio at exactly the same time. Watch it if you get the chance.

However, this is not the first time some person have tried to mix DSTOM with some sort of video. Another instance would be the Dark Side of the Rainbow, which is a pairing of Dark Side of the Moon with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. The two seem to fit snugly together and you once again wonder how such events could not have been planned. (To watch this epic music video, simply start the movie and play the album right after the MGM Lion roars.)

Detractors have argued that the phenomenon where two coincidental events appear to be related, even though there exists no relationship which could be explained through conventional methods, is an psychological experience known as apophenia. The theory basically explains how enthusiasts or fanboys would intentionally focus on matching two unrelated events while ignoring several instances where two events do not correspond. This may be the case, but it doesn’t stop it from being a good mind trip. Try it out, it’s quite neat.
