What are the chances that one of the most beloved movies of all time is artistically linked to one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded?

For the uninitiated, the Dark Side of the Rainbow theory asserts that Pink Floyd purposely synchronized The Dark Side of the Moon to The Wizard of Oz. For those who have seen it, the mashup produces dozens of striking coincidences between the film and the album, where actions on the screen seemingly correspond to the lyrics, chords and musical moods of the Dark Side tracks.

So, is it real, a cosmic coincidence, an ingenious marketing ploy, or just another conspiracy theory? In addition to a complete viewing guide for the synchronicities, the book explores a possible explanation for their existence:

* Pink Floyd had the means: they had ample experience scoring films.

* They had the motivation: the band doggedly pursued visual presentations for their songs during concerts.

* In the late 1990s, mainstream media outlets published reports that Pink Floyd had been threatened with a lawsuit by MGM if they used clips of The Wizard of Oz during concerts.

* Did Pink Floyd leave veiled clues on subsequent albums?
