Easy Star All-Stars – Dub Side Of The Moon

Dub Side Of The Moon does exactly what it says on the label – namely, take the 1973 Pink Floyd epic Dark Side of The Moon and record it in a reggae/dub style.

The Easy Star All-Stars largely remain faithful to the Pink Floyd original, making minimal alterations to the overall feel of the music, other than the obvious changes to structure - changes that convert the prog rock of Floyd’s original into the roots reggae found on this surprisingly good album of re-interpretations.

The spacey atmospheric nature of prog rock, full of echo and reverb as it is, adapts well to the reggae format, and the Easy Star All-Stars strike just the right blend of styles. In many respects, this material only serves to confirm how remarkably similar the two genres can be.
