The reissue of PINK FLOYD’s “Animals” may have been stuck in the band’s inner-conflict limbo but, since the void just has to be filled, regular suspects belonging to rock elite have been roped up to record a tribute to the 1977 classic. Scheduled for release on November 19th, “Animals Reimagined” can look bound to feel disjointed, the original’s concept flow broken by the contributions from various artists – only, as the example of its predecessor "Still Wish You Were Here" proved – such an approach shouldn’t pose a problem.
Here’s what and whom it’s going to feature – of special interest being Graham Bonnet, who once sang a Badger part, doing a Dog here (read the review):
