New York
independent music label Magnetic Eye Records has announced plans to release the
Pink Floyd tribute album, The Wall [Redux], this spring. Featuring a veritable
who's who of underground heavy music, the ambitious 26 track album is a part of
the label's popular REDUX series, which focuses on iconic albums and invites
bands to re-imagine and cover its songs from end to end. As with previous
Magnetic Eye REDUX series releases, the project is fan-funded and will only see
the light of day if it makes its pledged Kickstarter goal by March 5. For full
details or to back the project, visit THIS location.
