Animals Against The Wall – A Tribute To Pink Floyd Volume II, mastodontico omaggio dall’etichetta Lemon / Cherry Red Records

Reinterpretazioni dal progressive all’ hard rock degli album Animals (1977) e The Wall (1979): coinvolti Ian Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, Keith Emerson, Robby Krieger, Al Di Meola, Arthur Brown, Billy Cobham, Vinnie Moore, Graham Bonnet, John Wetton, Adrian Belew, Glenn Hughes, Tommy Shaw … E’ un triplo cd che propone integralmente i due album dei Pink Floyd dell’ultimo periodo, quello in cui era ancora in formazione Roger Waters. Il momento forse più emozionante è il remake di Dogs con Graham Bonnet (già nei Rainbow e nel Michael Schenker Group) alla voce, Vinnie Moore (UFO, Alice Cooper) alle chitarre, Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) alle tastiere, Kasim Sulton (Todd Rundgren, Blue Öyster Cult, Meat Loaf) al basso e Pat Mastelotto (Mr. Mister, Stick Men, King Crimson) alla batteria.
