1.0 out of 5 stars Just be thankful..., November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Other Side of Pink: Tribute to Pink Floyd (Audio CD)

Just be thankful you all didn't waste your money on the 2 cd set entitled A Saucerful of Pink... it has this cd (the one being reviewed here) and a 2nd disc of the same stuff... I agree for the most part that this compilation should have never been made, but, what do I know? I am just an Average Joe-Pink Floyd fanatic/musician/consumer...

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Side Of The Floyd, March 3, 2000

This review is from: Other Side of Pink: Tribute to Pink Floyd (Audio CD)

when i first spotted the disc "Saucerful of Pink", i was VERY skeptical. having been a floyd fan for the vast majority of my life, and owning bootlegs, and very rare items of the floyd, i felt that any attempts to "industrialize" the great band would have been laughable and an affront to fans. however, i gave the disc a listen to and was blown away. The cover of "Jugband" would have sent poor ol' Syd down the lysergic spiral once again. Mindwarpdrugrap, fnord. Calling this a "goth" floyd is greatly misleading. "industrial" would be a lot closer to the truth. i throughly enjoy this disc AND am a huge floyd freak! If you love the music of the band AND the evolution into which it is growing, buy this album. i wonder if they'll be another -- Skinny Puppy wasn't on here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for a few tracks, May 26, 2000

A few tracks on this album are fantastic. Psychick TV's rendition of "Set the Controls" is stunning, and I hesitate to say it but I think Sky Cries Mary's "Wots... Uh The Deal" is better than the original. Some other tracks are definitely worth their salt. It seems the best ones are those that don't stray too awfully far from the original. Others take too much artistic license and we end up with a bunch of techno noise that sounds vaguely like a Pink Floyd song. The CD is a must for any fan of Floyd or the bands making an appearance here, but don't expect to listen to it a lot.
