At first the idea seemed little weird, but the final effect is more than impressive! Nearly 30 artists were put together to have a go at Pink Floyd’s Meddle album. Not the most known album, but certainly a great one. What we have here are different tracks performed by different musicians, all adding their own stamp on the songs, and often taking it somewhere else.
There is a sense of adventure here, and it’s what makes this album exciting, and not another boring tribute. Some of these guys completely removed from the world of Pink Floyd. Some examples that come to mind is Graham Bonnet of Rainbow fame, David J of Bauhaus, or Captain Sensible from The Damned.
This project is really all about taking risks, not following the obvious, but not losing the sense of it all. Each listen is a surprising one, there’s something special about this record. Even after repeated listens it’s difficult to pinpoint as to what that is. Pink Floyd fans may actually be taken with what was achieved here. You will hear Meddle unlike any other time before for sure!
