Imagine a talented cover band attempting to interpret songs that defy interpretation, and you'll have some idea what to expect from An All-Star Lineup Performing the Songs of Pink Floyd. It's vaguely similar to the idiosyncratic renditions of Floyd classics as performed separately by Roger Waters and David Gilmour during their post-Floyd concert tours, and it's guaranteed to leave you comfortably numb as you contemplate praiseworthy detours from the songs you know and love. It's easy to tune out the world while listening to any interpretation of the Floyd, especially since these all-star recordings are accompanied by cheap, cheesy graphics and video images that serve as useless on-screen filler. (You won't find any concert or studio coverage here, which is just as well since even faux-Floyd is best accompanied by one's own mental meanderings, or the self-generated equivalent of a '70s-vintage laser show.) The all-star lineup consists of respected session players and alumni from Kiss, Styx, Toto, Yes, Deep Purple, King's X, and others, and each track is (surprise, surprise) fairly well-executed and cleanly mastered in 5.1-channel stereo. As tribute recordings go, this isn't bad or good, it's just different (with no vocals to jar your familiarity, the guitar jam on the instrumental "Any Colour You Like" is arguably the DVD's highlight), so you'd have to be a really hardcore Floyd fan to give this thing a spin. --Jeff Shannon
