Album: TOOL '10,000 Days'

+

Film: 'The Matrix: Revolutions'

I'm not trying this right now, but I tried it this morning, so bare with me.

Start the album just as the Warner Brothers Logo fades into view. Let the album repeat until the end of the film, credits included if you want. You know you've got it when 'Vicarious' really kicks in and an explosion of fire will occur on the tv.

I guessed at this one, but when I heard Maynard singing about being the chosen one, well, duh.

Have fun!

Just a quick thought here if I may...

It seems that it is common for film and audio which were initially unrelated to synch up, like Dark Side + Wizard, or Lateralus + Nightmare... I think this may seem to work because it is heavily dynamic content on both the choice of music as well as the choice of film. Not to mention that the music helps create the mood in the background of the original film's soundtrack, so the same effect could be created by replacing the movie sounds with any "moody" music you decide to play.

I bet if you tried any well directed film, there would be moments which seem so synchronous that "It has to be intentional". Try listening to music with cartoons on TV, that seems to work quite well quite often.

Don't get me wrong, I am not in any way trying to discredit what you say, I just thought I would add my own input.

Not another :(

Argh... I don't want to watch that pile of trash again, even with Tool playing in the background.

aenema and hellraiser go well together. or was it undertow? ah hell don't matter, you watch that and listen to tool its freakin sweet no matter what album. but it has to be hellraiser 1 or 2.

I don't believe any of the syncs mentioned besides Dark Side/Oz. Have any of you actually listened to all the lyrics and watched the movie together?

Hahaha. Good call. Yeah, I'm not really a synchronicity buff, as I doubt anyone would write songs based around a movie unless it was a soundtrack. But if someone is just synching a movie and it works and they tell people about it, I have no problem with that. I only have a problem when it becomes "Oh, they so wrote this album for the movie."

Re: Oz vs DSOTM.

I agree that it could easily be a coincidence, but I swear the first time I watched it stoned... how the storm synchs up with the tornado, and the "kicker" how money starts right as they open the door to oz and the movie goes colour... well that was just damned cool.

I'm on the fence, the subtle things like how there is an airplane sound flying by as dorothy looks up in "somewhere over the rainbow" make me think it could be... but the fact that there is SO MUCH random noise on DSOTM makes me think it's probably just a coincidence.

BUT, what's even better is Pink Floyd's own tongue-in-cheek tribute to that connection in the later "Pulse" dark side of the moon Live album.

Not only is the wicked witch's bicycle and a girl resembling dorothy on the cover of that CD, in the middle of The Great Gig in the Sky someone says "I never said I was afraid of Dorothy".

Assuming it was a complete coincidence, I think it is pretty cool that Pink Floyd would pay tribute to it like that :)

And now onto 10,000 days vs. Matrix: Revolutions... at least I have plans for tonight now *grin*

On another sidenote, try watching Transformers cartoons with hip hop playing in the background.

Nothing beats Megatron rapping in apparant exact time with the Wu-tang.

i was watching porn the other day and listening to Third Eye, it totally synced, especially the "prying open my third eye" part, it was amazing
