Some of the other hi-fi and audio-video enthusiasts out there had been doing this for more than 20 years, but have you ever noticed the growing number of “amazing synchronicities”?

About 20 or so years ago when serious hi-fi enthusiasts who
are “mere mortals” can finally afford DVD players that can seamlessly hook-up
into their hi-fi rigs. They began experimenting on what they’ve found out on
the internet that if you start Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album at just
the right moment while watching The Wizard of Oz, amazing synchronicities occur
between what’s on the screen and what’s heard in the lyrics and music. I and
countless others who have tried it during the past 20 years swear that it
works. Since then, this specific hi-fi phenomenon has since been dubbed “Amazing
Synchronicities” and has ever since fostered various websites and discussion
posts on the internet since the 21st Century began. When it comes to
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album and The Wizard of Oz – “who knows
witch is which….” Indeed. But did you know that there are other “startling
coincidences” and “amazing synchronicities” that every hi-fi and AV enthusiasts
can test out on their own systems?
Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here and Blade Runner also eerily
synchs up like a music video. And also at the end of Stanley Kubrick’s science
fiction classic 2001: A Space Odyssey where a 22-minute sequence titled “Jupiter
and Beyond the Infinite” eerily synchs up with Pink Floyd’s Echoes, which is
also 22-minutes long. Although Kubrick’s original score in “Jupiter” is already
as good as it is. My stumbled upon favorite on You Tube was a video reenactment
of the September 16, 2007 Nisour Square Massacre – that notorious Blackwater
Security Consulting’s unwarranted shooting of unarmed Iraqi civilians where
Tori Amos’ Precious Things (track number 5 of her Little Earthquakes album) eerily
syncs in with the carnage - although this piece has been since taken out from
You Tube. Maybe the maker didn't pay Tori Amos royalties and got a cease and desist order. And I bet every hi-fi enthusiasts the world over had tried probably
almost anything since 1995 after discovering their first “amazing synchronicities”
between Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album and The Wizard of Oz movie.
