For anyone who loves Pink Floyd and wants a new look at a tremendous rock compilation through the comedic prospective of a modern-day musical mastermind, pick up a copy of the Les and Frog Brigade doing Animals.
Les and the Frog Brigade take on covering one of rock's greatest recorded performances the way a great orchestra would prepare for Mahler’s Eighth.
Les and the Frog Brigade crank it out, driving the entire performance, but really go off for the fourth track, "Dogs." The intensity of the performance, with its fantastic bass line, is awesome.
