I suppose this is old news for the Pink Floyd nerds around. But the sync of Echoes and 2001 is the BEST thing I have ever seen in my life : [this video]

My favorite Echoes experience will always be listening to it synced to the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey. When I was a teen I used to have to manually sync it up with a DVD and CD player. Fortunately some hero now has now posted it on youtube. [this video]
