I can’t listen. I heard a few seconds of that music and it gave me a headache.
Maybe it’s one of those ‘of the times’ things with the Reagan/Soviet things in the news at the time. I was never a huge Floyd fan to begin with, but back then, Final Cut, when I heard it (mid-late 80s) just clicked for me.
If I were to have heard it on release, I doubt it would have made any impact on me at all. Their early stuff I never liked at all. and The Wall was an interesting movie soundtrack. Darkside had it’s moments but is more a technical curiosity for me as a hobbyist musician since it regularly is referenced as one of the best recorded/engineered albums.
