Album Description
This epic double CD is a mindbending journey which begins with Syd Barrett's original "Pink Floyd Sound", then onto the classic period of Roger Waters and finally into the David Gilmour era. This work is chock full of artist interpretations (and a few faithful reproductions) of Pink Floyd from nearly every genre of popular music including, rock, alternative, fusion, metal, funk, folk, alt-country and power pop. It is the brainchild of Dan Johnson who in conjunction with Stanley Recordings produced this album.

Customer Reviews:

A very good surprise!.......2005-01-15

It is with curiosity that I bought this album. I know only very few of the artists who realised it, but I am since always a big fan of the "Flamand Rose", especially of the period Barrett-Waters (many less the last albums of Gilmour).
There is nothing to throw. All the covers are original and innovative... Surprising, sometimes.
One of my preferred pieces is "Paintbox" (one of the first singles, written by Wright).

A French fan (with a very bad english) of the best group of all times...

?.......2004-08-29

I have what I feel is a very ligitamate question. Why buy a tribute album when you could buy stuff the actual band made? I'm not saying this album is bad I'm just saying if you want floyd you should listen to floyd. cover bands are great for concerts but not albums in my opinion. so Why?

Refreshing!.......2004-01-24

When you want nothing more than to hear new music from Floyd and you know it will probably never happen, a CD like this is a great deterant. The mix of genres showcased here is so refreshing to hear when you've been through the Floyd library so many times you just crave more. Sure, some songs will take a bit to get used to, but popping this disc in gives you a new perspective on the great music Roger, David, Sid, Nick, and Rick so wonderfully constructed years ago. I'm proud to slide this disc in the rack with the likes of The Division Bell and Dark Side. All in all, a nice mix of re-makes that will be taken out again and again. Now, I just need to get to CA to see Which One's Pink? Anybody wanna buy me a plane ticket?

Excellent Work, Avoids The Tribute Pitfalls.......2003-06-19

Finally someone has done the "tribute record" right. Over the course of two CDs you get covers of "the hits" (Money, Comfortably Numb, Dogs) and "deep album cuts" (San Tropez, Childhood's End, Not Now John) Most of the arrangements are unique and provide a fresh take on the originals. Even an actual Pink Floyd tribute band (Which One's Pink?) offers something different by recording What Shall We Do Now? a song never released by Pink Floyd on a studio album. This album has a nice mix of recognizable artists and talented unknowns. Like the Pigs and Pyramids album, there's plenty of hard rock to go around with bands like Mike Keneally, Numira, Billion Stars and Samarin, Morgan & Hull LLP (I guess they really do "represent"). Like the well regarded Echoes of Pink CD, there's a generous sprinkling of female vocals (Sally Semrad, Courtney Fairchild, North Green, Becca & Pierre). Like Luther Wright and the Wrongs, there's folky roots rock (Yortoise, Quetzal, 50 Cent Haircut, Graham Parker, Tortfeasor). There's some great "prog" too (Shaun Guerin, S.A.M., Glass, Shark & The Smoke). This record does the impossible -- it appeals universally and simulatanously to Floyd and non-Floyd fans alike. This record belongs in the collection of every fan of rock n roll.

Not Floyd, but the next best thing!.......2003-05-08

This is a great 2 disk set. If you like Pink Floyd and want to hear more you should get this. My favorite in this set is Let There Be More Light by some band called Glass. I also liked the songs from Animals. I can never get enough of the Floyd and really like their older stuff (The Wall and earlier) much better than the later stuff (Final Cut and beyond). You get all the great old tunes here from Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Saucerful of Secrets, More, etc. Put these disks in the CD player, dim the lights, relax and let the show begin! The more I listen to these disks, the more I like them. For all you Pink Floyd fans out there, get this set and you will not be disapointed.
