"Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is album for Scottish event
What’s the difference been hearing and listening? One answer might be that the former is passive and the latter is active. Like the difference between turning up at work and actually working. With music, one byproduct of broadband and streaming technologies – where everything is available, on demand, forever – is how passively we listen to music now. Even when it’s not competing with the noise of the kitchen, workplace or car engine, it’s always something we can abandon and come back to later. Combine this with an audio quality limited by the spec of mass-produced hardware, YouTube’s streaming rate and the ubiquity of headphone listening everywhere and you can begin to understand why Classic Album Sundays has quickly grown from its London roots into a worldwide programme of events.
Seeking to encourage active listening through ‘a communal and audiophile listening experience’, the first Edinburgh event visited the Fringe last Sunday and hits Glasgow in September. The album? Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon."
