some guy with a lot of devotion and a bunch of free time did an 8-bit recreation of Dark Side of the Moon. GoBaers (who was at one time on the roster of posters here at Horrorthon, but never wrote a damn thing) sent me the link this morning. i'm in the middle of Great Gig in the Sky and am utterly charmed.
a lot of the less noticeable melodic figures have been included as have many of the key sound effects -- the ticking clocks, the heartbeat, the crazy laughing guy, that huge mess of alarms that go off at the beginning of Time (which made it so i could never quite fall asleep to this, although i tried almost every night i was in high school).
if you're attentive and can click play on each track as the previous one is coming to an end (it's a collection of youtube links), you can make it pretty seamless like the recording.

I'm sorry that I buried this post with the Roger Waters post - weird coincidence, huh? This is great! I love the old school video game music sound. This guy had an awful lot of time on his hands. I like "Money".
well, problem remedied -- i changed the timestamp, moving this one up the chain.
you're kidding me, though. was it really coincidence that you posted a thing about floyd in concert right after i posted this? bizarre.
I've got a bunch of Pink Floyd (including this) as well as nearly all of the Beatles in .MIDI format like this. The stuff's of varying degrees of quality (depending on who did the encoding and how careful they were) but the aforementioned nuances where you notice some weird portion of the song that generally you don't pay attention to. I'm a big fan of these 8-bit files, just because they help "one" to understand the music.
I meant "transcribing" or "transcription," not "encoding"
