I bought the Reggae version of Dark side of the moon yesterday for a laugh....but i was disappointed to find that it wasn't funny....it was actually seriously quite well done,
has any other reggae/floyd fans else heard it?

There are some things that just shouldn't be done IMO and this is one of them. I imagine that some kind of permission from the band or record Co. was needed to do this, anyone know?

Anyone can record a cover of anyone else's published song by paying a "mechanical royalty" fee (currently .08 cents per copy). The "permission" is automatic. I think Dub Side is very good in spots and disappointing in others. My main complaint is that the leads are way too far down in the mix -- listen to Marley or Steel Pulse, they don't have any problem making the leads very prominent. However, I think Dub Side is very entertaining and a worthwhile purchase.

Sounds interesting, although why anyone would bother making it i really don't know.

Not heard it but if the Trance Mix of WYWH is anything to go by, rubbish!

From RollingStone.com:

The All-Stars then approached the members of Pink Floyd and eventually received their blessing, though they haven't spoken personally to the band. "Roger Waters sent us a fax," Goldwasser says, "and he said 'I received the CD, I read the liner notes, but it's my policy not to endorse any covers of my material.' He didn't say if he liked it or not, which was kind of weird."

I like a couple of the songs off of Dub. But didn't like the water pipe and coughing sounds in Money. Its funny and all, but it hurts me. It hurts me!
