If you, like me, grew up in the 70s no doubt you are familiar with the 1971 cult classic movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And, since you're reading this website you should also be very familiar with Rush's breakthrough 1976 album 2112. But what you may not be familiar with is the Willy Wonka 2112 phenomenon. What the hell is that you ask? Well - in the same spirit that discovered Dark Side of the Rainbow (playing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" while watching "The Wizard Of Oz"), someone discovered back in 1999 that if you play 2112 while watching Willy Wonka beginning at a point near the entrance into the factory wonderful things happen. Personally, I'm not all that impressed. There are a few parts where things synch up really well (especially at the end), but otherwise I just don't see it. Anyways, someone posted the portion of Willy Wonka synched up with 2112 on YouTube. You can watch it here. If nothing else you get to watch part of a really cool movie while listening to 2112 - not a bad way to spend 20 minutes in my opinion. Enjoy.
