Well, curiosity got the best of me so dropped $27.10 w/tax on the "Limited
Edition Trance Remix" of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." From personal
experience, I know that Pink Floyd's mechanical rights holders do not allow
for any sampling of PF's records, so I knew this was a 100% unauthorized remix
project. I read a rumour on alt.music.orb that the orb did this remix. I can
definitely say it is *NOT* the orb!
This is truely terrible music. Poor sound quality, poorly edited samples,
unimaginative and out of key [!] synth cords played over snippets of the
original tracks. Really bad percussion. Although this cd was probably made by
some skank trying to make a fast buck, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt
and say it's some overzealous PF fan working out of her/his bedroom, and when
s/he played a cassette of her/his tinkerings to her/his pals they encouraged
her/him to release it.
If any of you still want to buy a copy of this cd... please buy my copy! :)
