5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work, Avoids The Tribute Pitfalls, June 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd (Audio CD)

Finally someone has done the "tribute record" right. Over the course of two CDs you get covers of "the hits" (Money, Comfortably Numb, Dogs) and "deep album cuts" (San Tropez, Childhood's End, Not Now John) Most of the arrangements are unique and provide a fresh take on the originals. Even an actual Pink Floyd tribute band (Which One's Pink?) offers something different by recording What Shall We Do Now? a song never released by Pink Floyd on a studio album. This album has a nice mix of recognizable artists and talented unknowns. Like the Pigs and Pyramids album, there's plenty of hard rock to go around with bands like Mike Keneally, Numira, Billion Stars and Samarin, Morgan & Hull LLP (I guess they really do "represent"). Like the well regarded Echoes of Pink CD, there's a generous sprinkling of female vocals (Sally Semrad, Courtney Fairchild, North Green, Becca & Pierre). Like Luther Wright and the Wrongs, there's folky roots rock (Yortoise, Quetzal, 50 Cent Haircut, Graham Parker, Tortfeasor). There's some great "prog" too (Shaun Guerin, S.A.M., Glass, Shark & The Smoke). This record does the impossible -- it appeals universally and simulatanously to Floyd and non-Floyd fans alike. This record belongs in the collection of every fan of rock n roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome CD, May 3, 2003

tribaltat "tribaltat" (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd (Audio CD)

Bought this 2 CD album because of cut by Mike Keneally. What a surprise. Most of the cuts on the first CD (US) were really good...some were great. Listened to it a few times and liked it better each time. The second CD (THEM) was awesome. The music flowed from one cut to the next, even though they were done by different musicians. I highly recommend this album. I used to be a Pink Floyd purist...so I didn't know if I could get into a "tribute" album...but it really works. ...

This review is from: A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd (Audio CD)

It is with curiosity that I bought this album. I know only very few of the artists who realised it, but I am since always a big fan of the "Flamand Rose", especially of the period Barrett-Waters (many less the last albums of Gilmour).

There is nothing to throw. All the covers are original and innovative... Surprising, sometimes.

One of my preferred pieces is "Paintbox" (one of the first singles, written by Wright).

A French fan (with a very bad english) of the best group of all times...
