At first I thought this CD was a novelty stab at DSOTM, which was
released on the 30th anniversary of the Pink Floyd classic last
spring, but I really like it--and it features a bevvy of big names in
reggae, and is quite an ambitious serious effort.

(Now, if it was by Weird Al Yankovic, Spike Jones, or a another cover
album in its entirety by Laibach...)

I've been hearing about a Greenlandic band on the ULO record label
that did a couple LP's in the mid 1980's that are quite Floydian in
their comparative reviews.

I also saw a CD a few years ago by a Yiddish band that did another
complete take on DSOTM...all in klezmer! The cover was a Star Of
David instead of the prism--breaking the beam of white light into
rays of the rainbow spectrum...I had a good laugh at the cover even
tho' the music was too crazy IMHO to listen to more than once.

I recently came across a bluegras tribute to Metallica "Return To
Bluegrass"...as if Apocalyptica wasn't heavy enuf...um, was that Roy
Wood on cello?
