4 out of 5 stars a floydian wedding.......2007-04-19

I was searching everywhere for a way to include Pink Floyd in my very traditional wedding. Instead of walking down the aisle to "Here Comes the Bride", I'm using this version of "Comfortably Numb". I love this CD, but should warn you not to expect the "mind trip" that was Pink Floyd. And yes I am a huge Pink Floyd fan. This is a CD you could put on at dinner at your grandmother's and have her think it is beautiful. Worth giving a chance.

2 out of 5 stars Don't Expect Pink Floyd.......2006-02-08

I enjoy string quartets and looked forward to this. Whereas Mozart, Beethoven and other classical or romantic composers are the masters of quartets due to their counterpoint and fugue, Pink Floyd music does not translate into string quartets. There is no power here, no dynamics; all necessary to Pink Floyd music. I kept wanting some electrification! The piano is capable of power, but not allowed to sound off in this recording and only provides an accompaniment to the mellow strings. It was boring. Does not have the complexity of the masters to maintain interest. Go to the classics with all their structure to enjoy string quartets for listening pleasure. Or, this could be a nice change for background at a dinner or reception where it's not cool to blast the speakers with real Pink Floyd.

5 out of 5 stars A must have........2005-10-23

Pink Floyd is my favorite band, but this is my favorite CD! The quality of the music is excellent. Even if you are not a Pink Floyd fan, this is still an excellent CD.

1 out of 5 stars Just awful.......2005-06-15

I am an avid collector of all things Pink Floyd, including tribute albums. Of course none of them live up to the real thing, but this 'tribute' really does a terrible disservice to their music. For something of this ilk, go with either the Symphonic Pink Floyd "Us & Them" or the Royal Philharmonic Tribute. Only buy this one if you own EVERY other tribute CD ever made for Pink Floyd's music.

1 out of 5 stars Suck.......2004-07-12

Well, poor forgery of Pink Floyd. Just slight resemblence of
past Pink Floyd.

2 out of 5 stars On the Dark Side.......2007-02-12

I bought this "tribute" with great expectations, but ended up quite disappointed. The violin sounds after a while gets too domineering, monotonous and has the effect jarring my nerves. I've never been a great fan of "tributes", this production makes me even more skeptical.

3 out of 5 stars Too close to rock, too far from classic.......2006-02-01

My most dear album is Dark side of the moon, I'm a hardcore fan of this album, I have purchase almost every tribute there is, I always put myself in the intentions of the players involved in every proyect and I enjoyed every tribute album I have found in a fais measure.
But with this album I did'nt feel confortably, perhaps my expectations were others than what you get in this package. This is a rock album played by a string quartet (ok that's on the sleve so nobody's fooling you) and when I say a Rock Album I mean it, they tried to emule every single sound in the album with their string instruments, so you get a string quartet emulation of the album including the noises, perhaps what I'm trying to say looks great to you but it didn't sound great for me, contrary to that it sound very bizarre in many cases or scary in others not that romantic o soft as the colors in the sleve may suggest.
I think a tribute album is a very hard project, you do it too faithful and you end with a cover album, you do it too different and you possibly lost the great of the album.
In this case I think the players made a String Quartet Cover Album. If you are thinking you're going to get a softer or more romantic versión of the album or you are more into the classic music, forget it, this album is definitively not for you
Try the Dark Side of the Moon a Capella and you will enjoy it more than this, or the dub side of the moon tribute by Easy star if you are more into reggae, or the Out of Phase tribute to Dark side of the moon if you are more into Electronic, or the moon revisited or... This one was the less enjoyable tribute to dark side of the moon I have heard.
Anyway Roger Waters enjoy it a lot, ask for snip or samples of the album and try it by yourself, but consider yourself aware...
