Review

Spin (3/03, pp.194-5) - "...A spacious, magical groove that stretches over voluptuous versions of psychedelic landmarks..."
Entertainment Weekly (2/28/03, p.80) - "...Dub bass lines make this music newly mind expanding and, for the first time, sexy..." - Rating: B+
Uncut (8/03, p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...It still sounds pretty fine as a bunch of rastas take a voluptuous dubbed-up trip around the Floyd's psychedelic masterpiece..."
Dirty Linen (06-07/03, p.86) - "...Floyd's distinctive guitar and keyboard melodies carry through the All-Stars rearrangements, but they're buttressed with deep resonant bass beats and the requisite loping rhythms..."

Title Note

Easy Star All Stars: Corey Harris, Frankie Paul, Gary "Nesta" Pine, Dr. Israel, Ranking Joe (vocals); Michael Goldwasser (guitar); Victor Axelrod (melodica, piano, electric piano, Clavinet, synthesizer, percussion); Victor Rice (electric bass, upright bass); Patrick Dougher (drums).

Additional personnel: Jenny Hill (saxophone); Michael Wagner (trombone); Wayne Wiggum (electric bass); Eddie Ocampo, Larry McDonald (percussion); Tamar-Kali (background vocals).

Recorded at Noise NY, Mount Vernon, New York; Mike Stand Killer Studios, Funky Slip Studios and Zion Studios Brooklyn, New York; 401 Studios and Hot Sound, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Lem Oppenheimer.

The pun in the title gives the album's conceit away: This is, in fact, a dub-influenced take on Pink Floyd's classic DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. But while the idea may be groan-inducing, the results are actually quite appealing. All-Star founders Michael G. and Ticklah recruit a handful of guests, including Corey Harris, the Meditations, and Frankie Paul, among others, to turn Floyd's spacey, art-rock epic into a heavy-lidded roots excursion, incorporating rap, dancehall, IDM, and jungle rhythms. The deeply ingrained familiarity of the original creates a fine palette for the All-Stars' Jamaican coloring, resulting in a surprisingly successful synthesis.
