Last week in my Internet travels I read an intriguing review by YourZenMine (an Aussie husband/wife duo that reviews a different CD/album every day).
Easy Star All Star's
Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (their review can be found here:

Easy Star is a reggae band that does reggae covers of other bands. Prior to covering the Beatles on
Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band, they also covered Pink Floyd (
Dub Side of the Moon) and Radiohead (
Radiodread. Surprisingly it works! Heck if DJ Zen can pull off a Bossa Nova Beatles cover album... why not a Reggae Beatles cover album?!
If you want to hear some familiar music re-imagined in a reggae context this album is a pure delight (as are Easy Star's other releases)
