A Green Twist on Pink Floyd

The Toronto-based band Blurred Vision is garnering media and internet attention for their remix of a Pink Floyd classic.  Two of the band members, Sepp and Sohl, fled Iran in the 1980’s and relocated in Canada.  Watching the protests inspired them to take aim at the Ayatollahs.  On my visit to Iran, I found Pink Floyd to be among the most popular American bands there.  Pink Floyd posters can be spotted throughout hip shops in Tehran. And when it comes to Pink Floyd, I usually feel their legendary sound should be left unaltered.  But honestly, this is a great cover.  Check out the video and let me know what you think.
