Featuring the timeless and heart-wrenching Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb (wow - don't miss this) ... Dark Side of the Moon (1973) - begins, and ends, with the pulse of a heart (this acclaimed album is like one awesome track). When you have a free hour, listen all the way through to what many regard as the greatest music album ever created. Features Time and Great Gig in the Sky (wow) ... So much time lost, chasing this and that; and then it's all over, before we really began.

In the western suburbs of Beijing at the foot of the Western Hills.
