Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
HN commenters share it as a favorite audiovisual experience, with some calling the sync the best thing they have seen.
Pink Floyd's Echoes played in sync with the final Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite segment of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The song's length closely matches the sequence.

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]
