Dubber Side of the Moon

The Easy Star All-Stars had an interesting idea back in 2003 when they released Dub Side of the Moon, a reggae version of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. Now Dub Side has been reimagined in an even spacier bass-heavy place by a host of producers, including the Alchemist, Dreadzone, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant, Groove Corporation and Dubphonic. Dubber Side of the Moon also includes as bonus cuts alternate mixes of “On the Run,” “Time,” “Money” and a Border Crossing remix called “Step it Pon the Rastaman Scene.” The All-Stars have previously reggae-fied the Beatles and Radiohead with their Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band and Radiodread albums and indicate that another as-yet-unnamed band will get a dub redo in early 2011.
