Easy Star All-Stars

If you haven't heard their stuff yet, DO SO NOW!

They're a reggae/dub group who has (so far) done reggae tributes of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" ("Dub Side of the Moon") and Radiohead's "OK Computer" ("Radiodread").

I listened to both of these albums the other night and was floored. If you're a reggae fan and/or a Pink Floyd/Radiohead fan, it's bound to appeal to you.

I was very struck by how well fusing these two styles were. The two original albums are very detailed pieces of work, so it's really a delight to see the ways they adapted every little detail to fit the reggae sitting.

Simply, you have to hear it to believe it. (y)

radiodread was awful and dub side of the moon was cheese. if you want good dub, check alpha & omega, dual tone, mad professor, bill laswell, lee scratch perry, dub syndicate, new beat society, and pole.

You can change your mind all you like (we all have, I'm certain), but I can also ask why you changed your mind, right? It's just odd that 4 months ago you liked them enough to mention them in a "favorite artists" thread, but now you turn around and hate them at the drop of a hat?

Just raised the eyebrows is all.

The only good part on Radiodread was Toots and the Maytals doing Let Down. If they had did the whole album, it would've been good.
