The concept for this tribute is almost as mind-boggling as the album that inspired it: Take Pink Floyd's 1973 classic Dark Side of the Moon and have it rewired by the house band at New York reggae label Easy Star, with vocals by dub luminaries like Frankie Paul. The result is hilarious and highbrow at once, opening with the sound of tablas and gurgling bong water before settling into a spacious, magical groove that stretches over voluptuous versions of psychedelic landmarks like "Brain Damage" and "Us And Them." All that's missing here are some tickets to Laserium
