Roger has responded to some of the criticism he has received for re-recording and explained a little more about why he is doing the project and what he feels about the original. It is not a replacement. Let us know your thoughts about the new recording Roger said, “When we recorded the stripped down songs for the Lockdown Sessions, the 50th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of The Moon was looming on the horizon. It occurred to to me that Dark Side of the Moon could well be a suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the original work, but also to re-address...

Whilst many fans will not be pleased about the erasing of the guitar solos, it is interesting of course to hear the old song but done in...
