Roger Waters has released a new version of the Pink Floyd classic “Money.” The track is featured on his re-recording of The Dark Side of the Moon.

The new version of “Money” has Waters almost delivering a crooning-style vocal, but it has incredibly menacing undertones. A spoken-word segment in the middle of the song adds to its surrealism. The lyric video for “Money” is below and is available for streaming/download here.

 

As for the album, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux comes out on October 6. The album is available for pre-save here, while exclusive physical formats are available for pre-order on RogerWaters.com.

News of Waters’ re-recording of Pink Floyd’s classic 1973 album first emerged in February. Waters explained the idea to re-record the album came when he was recording Lockdown Sessions, an album of reworked songs from his time with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist. Among the songs re-recorded is the classic Floyd track “Comfortably Numb” from The Wall.

“It occurred to me that ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ could well be a suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the original work, but also to re-address the political and emotional message of the whole album,” writes Waters. “I discussed it with [producer] Gus [Seyffert] and [filmmaker] Sean [Evans], and when we’d stopped giggling and shouting ‘You must be f—ing mad’ at one another we decided to take it on.”
