      Dub Side Of The Moon - Special Anniversary Green Vinyl Edition

      Easy Star

        Talk about high concept: 'Dub Side Of The Moon' features the house band of noted New York reggae label Easy Star covering Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon' in the same sequence and in recognisable but reggae fashion. Here, the All Stars turn Floyd's strangely surreal world even stranger and more surreal, adorning the band's dark psychedelic music with slow reggae beats and head-spinning dub-style production that is both inspired and effective. "Money" opens with the sound of bong hits and coughing instead of the cash register, then grooves to a reggae beat as guitar and organ churn out the classic riff - there's even the mandatory sax break in the middle. The group hits it just right on "Great Gig in the Sky", retaining the soaring gospel voice, while the remake of the chiming bells on "Time" reveals a bit of irreverent humour. Tearing away at the alienation of the original, this infusion of new personality makes it all work, elevating the album's concept from the half-baked to visionary.

        Celebrate a decade plus of this timeless and ingenious musical experiment with this release, which includes two new bonus tracks (including a new version of “Breathe” that features Rebelution’s Eric Rachmany along with Metric Man, Ruff Scott and Sluggy Ranks) and new artwork.

          First Light

          Easy Star

            The Easy Star All-Stars enter a new chapter of their career with the release of "First Light" - their first full-length album of original material.

            On "First Light" the eclectic, multi-ethnic group builds on its love of reggae traditions and finding progressive ways to expand their craft while showcasing their individual talents. Known for their trendsetting catalog of reggae re-interpretations of classics, the Easy Star All-Stars are taking this opportunity to introduce fans to a different side of the band. "First Light"'s 14-track journey showcases the band members experimenting with songwriting. While some songs remain true to their signature hardcore reggae feel, other tracks ("In The Light", "First Light (Ramblin' Fever)" and "Unbelievable") incorporate R&B, pop, and soul. Founding member and album producer Michael Goldwasser contributes several of the tunes. Other tracks were created by a collaborative songwriting process amongst the members of the collective.
