For their lucky 13th album, psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips decided to take on Pink Floyd's classic Dark Side Of The Moon album in it's entirety.
With a little help from Stardeath & The White Dwarfs, The Lips make the album all their own while still sounding strangely familiar but never bloated as other artists might do. I laugh with excitement every time I hear Henry Rollins' voice reenact the dialogue samples from the original album, however as impressive as Peaches' vocal abilities are I just need to turn down her contribution. As a Lips fan it's a unique addition to their catalogue but as a Floyd fan it's borderline offensive.
3 extreme hit & misses out of 5
Songs Of Note: Speak To Me/Breathe; Time/Breathe (reprise)
