Yes, it's a reggae version of the Pink Floyd classic DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, and yes, it works far, far better than you'd have any right to expect. The artists vary from the relatively obscure (Kirsty Rock, Dollarman) to the big-time (Corey Harris, Frankie Paul, the Meditations) and the musical styles range from roots to dancehall to jungle. At the end you realize that you were wrong to even think this was a dumb idea to begin with - dub's psychedelic mysticism is a perfectly good match for Pink Floyd's mannered weirdness. Highly recommended.
