Yes, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Possibly Phish. I know they covered the entire DSOTM album.

"Bong Sounds?" As in "illegal substance bong...gurgling water sounds?" Or as in "Bong like a a gong, bong?" Don't make me post the pancake-bunny pic....

Easy Star All Stars - Dub Side of the Moon

Reviewed by Steve Serpiente

While there are several enjoyable reggae tribute CD's to rock artists such as the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones on the market, one which stands above the rest is Easy Star Records' latest release, "Dub Side of the Moon."

Unlike other tribute style albums which offer reggae versions of a given band's greatest hits, "Dub Side of the Moon" replicates inna reggae style an album in its entirety - Pink Floyd's 1973 classic "Dark Side of the Moon." The producers' careful attention to detail (track sequencing, transitions from track to track, sound effects and voice overs) facilitated this reggae reinvention of "Dark Side" without losing in the translation the core themes and subtle nuances which made the original one of rock's most popular masterpieces.

The album opens with Nyahbinghi drumming dominating the otherwise electronic "Speak to Me," which leads into "Breathe" voiced by Sluggy Ranks. "On the Run" gets the jungle drum & bass treatment with production work by Brooklyn's Dr. Israel.

Beginning with a similar yet varied clock ticking and gonging intro (a cookoo clock and digital alarm clock are added to nice effect), "Time" mutates into a hard 70's rockers number showcasing the wicked drumming of Patrick Dougher. Correy Harris faithfully delivers the Roger Waters lyrics. Although there's no mind bending lead guitar to rival David Gilmour's work on the original, the "Dub Side" version engages the brain with the old school chanting of veteran deejay Ranking Joe.

On "Great Gig in the Sky," Kirsty Rock equals the powerful vocals belted out by Clare Torry on the original cut over this dub soaked update.

Augmented by a delicious bong hit intro (instead of Pink Floyd's cash register intro), the hit "Money" features singer Gary "Nesta" Pine, who has worked with the Wailers Band the past several years. About half way through the track, the song takes on a distinctly Jamaican flavor as Dollarman speeds up the tempo with some conscious deejay vocals.

"Money" bleeds into one of the most enchanting tracks on the disc: "Us and Them." Voiced by dancehall pioneer Frankie Paul, the "Dub Side" version is a loping reggae excursion echoing Waters' observations into humanity's inane methods of conflict management.

"Any Colour You Like" is a synth dominated dub outing, and Dr. Israel prescribes the proper RX to ponder madness on "Brain Damage."

Ansel "Meditation" Cridland of the revered roots harmony trio the Meditations smoothly tackles "Eclipse," the track which concludes the original release. But on "Dub Side," "Eclipse" serves as a gateway to an afterlife of three dub tracks featuring melodica solos, guitar reverb and heavy drum & bass, as well as an additional deejay cut by Ranking Joe.

While "Dub Side" is a must have for hardcore Pink Floyd fans, "Dark Side" will become essential listening for reggae fans checking out this disc.

Yup. Floyder here... which means I don't listen to any Floyd that isn't performed by Floyd

I was very impressed by the Dub Side of the Moon album. DSOTM is still one of my favorite albums, and I'm a big fan of reggae. They did a really nice job with that CD.

If you guys watch Almost Famous, there is a scene where William and Penny are going to the Riot House. While they are driving in Penny's car the cover of Dark Side of the Moon reflects across the windshield of the car... FYI...:music:
