Not to be confused with a 2006 retail release of the same name, MOJO Magazine’s October, 2011 free CD is an exclusive gathering of not-so-well-known artists commissioned to re-imagine an etched-in-stone classic, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon. Since PF are pooping out a three figure 2011 box themselves, MOJO took their own project a step further by creating a vinyl version of this Dark Side to be sold in stores, which is smart. Why just give it away when you can go Limited Edition (10,000 vinyl) and make something back? All in all, this Dark Side tribute is not bad… at all. “On The Run” is enhanced with live drum madness, Wolf People’s “Time” sounds faithfully juice with amphetamines (instead of herb), while The Last Hurrah!!’s “The Great Gig In The Sky” sports a pretty inventive arrangement. The Moon versions are generally based on the originals, but spiked with a much-needed youthful exuberance (check out the powerful take on “Money,” below). Unlike many of these kinds of tributes, I didn’t feel like I was suffering through it, until… the generally awful Wish You Were Here covers. In reality, this disc is a tribute to two Floyd albums, as all the tunes from Wish You Were Here are also covered. I didn’t make it all the way. A few “names” surface; Garth Hudson, The Orb, Doug Paisley, but for the rest of these artists, you’re on your own. Click HERE for a pop-up page to every one of MOJO‘s free CDs (now 114 & counting). UPDATE: A “Corrected & Completed” version of John Foxx And The Maths’ “Have A Cigar” was added to MOJO’s web site for free download. It’s also been included in with our full download, and individually (thanks to harryrag).
