VA – Return To The Dark Side Of The Moon (A Tribute To Pink Floyd) 2006

Following in the footsteps of 2005's Back Against the Wall, 2006's Return to the Dark Side of the Moon is a star-studded prog rock tribute album to one of rock's all-time greatest bands and albums. Producer Billy Sherwood has reassembled many of the same players from Back Against the Wall for his latest Pink Floyd tribute, and the result is the same -- professional renditions of the songs, without a lot of experimentation. As a result, the songs aren't that remarkably different from the originals. On the album opening "Breathe," Adrian Belew almost perfectly replicates the original's airy vocals, Styx's Tommy Shaw belts out the vocals to "Money," while Dweezil Zappa's brief guitar shredding on "Us and Them" doesn't exactly fit the original's laid-back feel. That said, if you're a classic rock or prog rock fanatic, you can't argue with the additional renowned names who contribute -- Jeff Baxter, Robbie Krieger, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, Edgar Winter, Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Tony Levin, and more. Ultimately however -- as with Back Against the Wall -- Return to the Dark Side of the Moon: A Tribute to Pink Floyd will only appeal to hardcore Floyd buffs

More Information

Return To The Dark Side Of The Moon is a music studio album recording by VARIOUS ARTISTS (TRIBUTES) (Various Genres/Progressive Rock) released in 2006 on cd, lp / vinyl and/or cassette.

Mein Eindruck, würde Pink Floyd dieses Album heute noch mal aufnehmen, so könnte es klingen. Die Sound-Qualität ist überragend. Für mich ein absolutes "must have". Es gibt übrigens noch ein tolles Pink Floyd Tribute (Pink Floyd - A Tribute To Back Against The Wall ). Auch zu 98,78% am Original angelehnt.

CD —. Album. Vinny21889. Public service announcement! Glow in the Dark vinyl will always be noisy. It's a novelty. Get another variant for listening. This should be common knowledge by now especially if you're dropping $35 on a record.
