I recently came across an album that literally opened up a whole new world of music to me in the form of Dub. The album I have been listening to all friggin summer is Radiodread by Easy Star Allstars. It is a mash up album where they take Radiohead's "OK Computer" and turn it into a Dub reggae album. They had previous success doing the same thing with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," which apparently was so succesful that this may become a series where they take all these classic albums and redo them dub style.

I always friggin hate when someone fuks with a great album/song but the beauty of these guys is that they are totally respectful and aware of what they are doing that it sounds like art to me. I dunno see for yourself cause i wanna see what projects they come up with in the future...
