Pink Floyd "Time 2001 Remaster" HD 1080p/FLAC 16 bit with Lyrics Album: The Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd were an English rock band that achieved worldwide success with their progressive and psychedelic rock music. Their work is marked by the use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album art, and elaborate live shows. Pink Floyd are one of the most commercially successful and influential rock music groups of all time. They have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, including 74.5 million certified units in the United States. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Since then they have continued to enjoy worldwide fame. "Time" is the fourth track from English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, and the only song on the album credited to all four members of the band. It is noted for its long introductory passage of clocks chiming and alarms ringing, recorded as a quadrophonic test by Alan Parsons, not specifically for the album. Each clock at the beginning of the song was recorded separately in an antiques store. This is followed by a two-minute passage dominated by Nick Mason's drum solo, with rototoms and backgrounded by a tocking sound created by Roger Waters picking two muted strings on his bass. With David Gilmour singing lead on the verses and with Richard Wright singing lead on the bridges and with female singers and Gilmour providing backup vocals, the song's lyrics deal <b>...</b>Antique French Boudoir Clock by Barrard and Vignon, Paris ~French -- Circa 1855 ~ ~~ Excellent condition ~~ A stunning antique French boudoir clock.

Here is a nice Smiths-Sectric english electric mantle clock, from around the 1950's which I had seen in an antique shop, and my aunt ever so kindly bought it for me this christmas. It has a knob to set the interesting hands, most common on these clocks, a hand set. There is a slot with a switch. I am unsure of it's use, possibly to stop the clock running at night, as it is dangerous. The cable must be replace as seen, but even though it needs work, I love it, it's design, everything. It's a proud addition to my collection. Great clock! Enjoy.

"Time" is the fourth track from English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon, and the only song on the album credited to all four members of the band. This song is about how time can slip by, but many people do not realize it until it is too late. Roger Waters got the idea when he realized he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it. He had just turned 28. It is noted for its long introductory passage of clocks chiming and alarms ringing, recorded as a quadrophonic test by Alan Parsons, not specifically for the album. Each clock at the beginning of the song was recorded separately in an antiques store. This is followed by a two-minute passage dominated by Nick Mason's drum solo, with rototoms and backgrounded by a tocking sound created by Roger Waters picking two muted strings on his bass. With David Gilmour singing lead on the verses and with Richard Wright singing lead on the bridges and with female singers and Gilmour providing backup vocals, the song's lyrics deal with Roger Waters' realization that life was not about preparing yourself for what happens next, but about grabbing control of your own destiny.

The clock mechanism and case are both marked LFS. The clock case (stands 85" x 23-1/4") is made of solid carved, black forest oak, moderately ornate, stamped "LFS" on the back and with LFS ag on the front plack. The case is in excellent condition, not broken, with the original key. The clock movement is an 8-day, chain weight, pendulum clock, is serial numbered LFS 13888 and inscribed with "Pend. Schw. 66,6 pro min." It works perfectly and the weights and parts all appear to be original. "The firm began in 1836 when Lorenz Furtwangler ( 1807 - 66 ) established his own workshop. Lorenz had four sons who took over the business at his death and renamed it ' L Furtwangler's Sons' clock Factory ' in 1868. The factory developed.. a reputation for very solid movements with high quality finish. The trademark of the letters LFS inside a wheel was registered in 1881 and 1895. In 1900 the firm was incorporated as 'L Furtwangler Sohne AG 'and four years later as ' Uhrenfabrik vormals L. Furtwangler Sohne Furtwangen. ..... The firm even produced cuckoo clocks but the main product was movements of high quality, which could not compete during the 1920s and so the firm... unfortunately ended operation in 1929. One's first sight of a Furtwangler clock gives the impression that it is something special." Taken from "The Furtwangler Factory <b>...</b>Shown on a clock .
