Bio / Background

Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella" is an all-vocal version of Pink Floyd's magnum opus "Dark Side of the Moon." No instruments were used in the recording of this unique version of the album. Eight singers and one "vocal percussionist" (similar to a beatboxer) recreate the original work in its entirety.

The album was recorded in High Definition, without breaks between the tracks (as in the original), and is as close to the original in timing as possible, thus preserving its "Wizard of Oz Compatibility." Produced and mixed by the renowned a cappella Producer, Freddie Feldman, and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Doug Sax, this recording breaks new ground in both the worlds of a cappella and rock.

Singers: Stephanie Lewin, Jennifer Feucht, Melissa Smithson, Jon Krivitzky, Michael Mahler, Chris Feucht, Alan Schmuckler, Dan Riley, and Freddie Feldman. Music arranged by: Jon Krivitzky.

Nominated for Best Album, Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) 2006.

Quite frankly, like so many of the attempts at a cappella versions of Queen or the B52s, this could have been much worse. But I doubt that it could have been any better. While clearly a heavily engineered album, in no way does the excellent engineering get in the way of the fact that these are some _seriously_ talented musicians. Their fidelity to the original is amazing, yet they introduce whimsey and originality at every turn (thus not only preserving the "Wizard of Oz Compatibility", but cleverly and subtly mixing in musical quotes from the Wizard of Oz soundtrack, too). The introduction to "Money" is imaginitive and original, and I found myself as completely absorbed in the entire album as I was the first time I heard the original Dark Side as a college Freshman, back in 1973. But this time my slack-jawed grin was not bong-induced. Instead, I was just blown away with the quality of the vocal work I heard from these extremely talented individuals.
