At first I thought this CD was a novelty stab at DSOTM, which was 
released on the 30th anniversary of the Pink Floyd classic last 
spring, but I really like it--and it features a bevvy of big names in 
reggae, and is quite an ambitious serious effort. 

(Now, if it was by Weird Al Yankovic, Spike Jones, or a another cover 
album in its entirety by Laibach...)

I've been hearing about a Greenlandic band on the ULO record label 
that did a couple LP's in the mid 1980's that are quite Floydian in 
their comparative reviews.

I also saw a CD a few years ago by a Yiddish band that did another 
complete take on DSOTM...all in klezmer! The cover was a Star Of 
David instead of the prism--breaking the beam of white light into 
rays of the rainbow spectrum...I had a good laugh at the cover even 
tho' the music was too crazy IMHO to listen to more than once.

I recently came across a bluegras tribute to Metallica "Return To 
Bluegrass"...as if Apocalyptica wasn't heavy enuf...um, was that Roy 
Wood on cello?
