As part of the excellent Pink Floyd evening on BBC Radio 2 and 6Music, there is an animated video from Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman Animations. As a companion to the Darkside radio drama, the video features some stunning images to give a multimedia dimension to the Darkside story. Pink Floyd, of course, was always a multi media band from the very early days where they would combine their mesmerising and rhythmic sounds with beautiful projections on their stages with the help of gel slides, projectors and the assistance of Mike Leonard.
