As tribute albums (vol. 1 & vol. 2) go, Electronic Tribute to Pink
Floyd is a pretty interesting proposition, featuring big-beat,
drum'n'bass, trance, and techno takes on some of the pioneering
space-rockers' best-known material. In practice, some of the ideas work
and some don't; the most disappointing are the versions that don't match
the musical skill of the originals, as on the awkwardly recited, barely
sung lyrics of "The Wall" or Dynamichrome's take on "Money," which
smooths the 7/4 time signature of the original into a straight
four-count beat. But some of the new arrangements are effective,
bringing out either the ethereal atmosphere or the latent heaviness in
the group's music, and recontextualizing it in electronic form.
Classic-rock purists have a notorious distaste for any music not
centered around guitars, but in truth, there's some pretty decent music
to be found here. ~ Steve Huey
