An Airbag Saved My Dub

Sometime in the winter of 2005 a good friend of mine introduced me to the Dub Version of Dark Side of the Moon.

Yes, you heard correctly, the DUB version of Dark Side. Now, if you haven't heard this album by the Easy Star All Stars than you have every right to laugh and say "it must be terrible." Funny thing is though, it's not bad. It's actually kinda amazing. Not as good (obviously) as the original Dark Side but 100% worth checking out. I thought a band covering a pivotal album in music's history was a one off and they would go back and write their own dub jams so I didn't look into the Easy Star All Stars after Dark Side. Sometimes I'm an idiot. Sometime last week a co-worker sent me on a lead to find the DUB VERSION OF OK COMPUTER.

DUB VERSION OF OK COMPUTER.

It was almost more difficult to believe in that than the Dark Side album. And while Dark Side was almost on par with the original album in terms of awesome-ness, Ok Computer falls short. The dub just doesn't work as well on this album as it did on Dark Side. BUT DONT GET ME WRONG. It is DEFINITELY worth looking into.
