    I've spent the afternoon listening to this little ditty and it's fantastic :MILD:.
    (A reggae/dub version of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side to the Moon".)

    I'm not the world's biggest Pink Floyd fan but this is legendary stuff :ffrc:.

    Their rendition of "Money" is particularly worth a mention. Instead of clinking, crashing cash registers we have Zippos, Bongs and coughing.

    Genius.

    I heard this when I visited Robbo's a few weeks ago and it is great stuff. I don't know for how long I'd be able to listen to it but it "Money" and the first track had me in stitches :D

    I bought it after the review in Hifi+ (not often I do that..)
    And I reckon it was originally written by the EasyStars, and Floyd nicked it..
    Works much better as dub imho!
    But then I always think Dylan songs are only any good if someone else does them :JPS:
    And the best version of "She's not there" was by the UK Subs.

    Ah yes, still need to get both of these albums at some point. Especially the "Dub" version, pure genius and hillarious as hell! :MILD: :D
