It actually works pretty well - the musicians obviously know and like Floyd's music, and it's far more than a novelty album. A lot of Floyd's spacier music lends itself well to the dub reggae style, and a lot of dub pioneers (Lee Perry et al) shared Floyd's love of sound effects and found noises. It would be interesting to hear some other prog albums given a similar treatment.

Close to the Dub? In the Court of the Crimson Dub? Pawn Dubs (one for gdub there)? Dedubbed in the Comatorium? Thick as a Dub? Selling Dub by the Pound? Foxdub (Dubtrot?)? Moondubness? Ok, I'll stop there

Sounds pretty good though, I think I might actually prefer this version of Money
