Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Portion of CD profits will be used to create four "indigenous" forests.
•  Best single purchase and value per cut for a trove of Floyd original "remastered" music.
•  Listen to Echoes cuts on PF's excellent interactive website.
Cons  •  Late 60's cuts including Syd Barret are less enjoyable than Floyd's maturing work in the 70's.
The Bottom Line - Have your cake and eat it too if you are a forest lover that enjoys Floyd music. Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd producers, through a partnering with a carbon neutral consultancy company, Future Forests, plan to put a portion of sales into planting trees.

From Future Forests:
"Pink Floyd's new album, Echoes, is Carbon Neutral with Future Forests. What that means is we've measured the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the production of the CDs, and enough trees have been planted to reabsorb the greenhouse gas. That's native trees in long term natural woodland, greening the local environment."
