Album Description
The classic Pink Floyd's album, "Dark Side of the Moon", is reinterpreted by the American group in a dub version. Songs like Time, "On the Run" and "The Great Gig in the Sky" wins, in this CD, a Jamaican cloth.

Talk about high concept: this project features the house band of noted New York reggae label Easy Star covering Pink Floyd?s Dark Side of the Moon in the same sequence and in recognizable but reggae fashion. Here, the All Stars turn Floyd?s strangely surreal world even stranger and more surreal, adorning the English band?s dark psychedelic music with slow reggae beats and head-spinning dub-style production that is both inspired and effective. "Money" opens with the sound of bong hits and coughing instead of the cash register, then grooves to a reggae beat as guitar and organ churn out the classic riff--there?s even the signatory sax break in the middle. The group hits it just right on "Great Gig In The Sky," retaining the soaring gospel voice, while the remake of the chiming bells on "Time" reveals a bit of irreverent humor. Tearing away at the alienation of the original, this infusion of new personality makes it all work, elevating the album?s concept from the half-baked to visionary. --Tad Hendrickson
Customer Reviews
Worth it.
After years of listening to this artwork, it is still a nice twist on the masterpiece. Hard Core Floyd folks could be put off by it. The only humans that did not realize it was not the original, were the few that were "put off" by it. The Money bass line is "off tha hook"!
Best cover album ever!
Awesome! As a fan of both Floyd and Reggae I was floored. All of the songs are complementary reinterpretations of the originals. A perfect fusion. If I were Roger Waters, et al, I would be very pleased.
El lado dub de la luna
Breve explicación para que sepan de lo que se trata antes de entrarle, los artistas firmados con la disquera Easy Star hicieron un disco tributo (Easy Star, 2003) al un album conceptual de los más famosos de la historia, el Dark side of the moon de Pink Floyd. La mezcla es perfecta y el resultado es sorprendente, te puede gustar tanto el original como el inspirado pero atención a rockeros puritas, pueden sentirse ofendidos. Como dato curioso, en el librito del Dub side of the moon dice que también esta sincronizado con el Mago de Oz, sólo tienes que iniciar el disco en el tercer rugido del león... Dub side of the rainbow?
Oh, Yah Mon...
Heard about this from an old issue of Entertainment Weekly I was thumbing through a couple of days ago - what an awesome find!!! I'm a HUGE Floyd fan, and this is spot-on perfect. Funny, yet deft in the approach and incredibly enjoyable all the way through, especially on headphones. "Money" had me cracking up on the bus on the way to work tonight, lol.
Not since Dread Zeppelin have I dug cover versions of classic tunes from a Supergroup(s).
Get yer mitts on this immediately.
The perfect 420 album
Multiple bong hits produce perfectly psychedelic rasta. Great DVD, too Easy Star All-Stars: Dub Side of the Moon Live. Also see A Reggae Tribute to the Beatles, Vol. 1, Paint It Black: A Reggae Tribute to the Rolling Stones, Fire on the Mountain: Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead and Is it Rolling Bob?: A Reggae Tribute to Bob Dylan.
