Any Pink Floyd Fans out there ???


Now that was a dumb question, wasn't it ? : )

Anybody familiar with any of the various "Pink Floyd Tribute Albums" that are out there ? While many of these types of projects fall flat on their face, I've got one titled "A Saucerful of Pink: A Tribute To Pink Floyd" on Cleopatra ( CLEO 9551-2 ). This one is pretty well done and comes from a primarily "dark yet artsy electronica" perspective. Two discs full of "Floydian interpretations" from such bands as Psychic TV, Alien Sex Fiend, Nik Turner of Hawkwind fame, my old friend Thomas' band The Electric Hellfire Club, etc... Most of the songs are still highly recognizable and true to form yet different enough to add a bit of spice to the originals. Kind of like eating a familiar recipe but made by someone else in a different kitchen. It's still good but just not exactly what you were expecting : )

Anybody else have any other "Floydian Tributes" or similar types of music / bands to recommend ? Sean

Another one similar somewhat to Pink Floyd would be The Crazy World of Aurthur Brown. Don't know if any of his stuff is out on CD though. That's my two cents. Best, Charlie
