Pink Floyd 1979 The Wall [immersion Edition, Box Set 6cd 1dvd, 2012]

Ex-October Project singer Mary Fahl undertakes the audacious feat of remaking Pink Floyd’s signature album and, against all odds, manages to pull it off convincingly. Her success is due in large part to her remarkable contralto voice, an instrument of near-operatic power. Beyond this, she possesses the imagination to find renewed meaning in Dark Side of the Moon’s bleak vision of humanity, savoring its mordant humor and drawing out the torment buried within its cynicism.

Creating an album is one thing in itself, but to write your own follow-up to Pink Floyd’s gastronomically-huge Dark Side Of The Moon? Now that’s something altogether different.
