Advantages: Recognisable tunes Disadvantages: Neither fish nor foul. Best stick to the original
here, are reproductions of a single album track by track. Their output to date has been both prodigious, varied and at times esoteric with features on such names as Led Zeppelin, Bjork, David Bowie, Madonna and Yanni. At the last count Vitamin Records lists 198 titles!!
So who are "The String Quartet Tribute"? Well, despite my best research efforts I'm still not too sure. I'm not even clear whether 'Tribute' is part of the group's name or whether it belongs in the title of each of their albums. They are led, at least in this instance, by Todd Mark Rubinstein who plays cello and bass. On the album under review the other performers are David Davison - 1st violin - and Paul Tobias - viola and 2nd violin (hey - doesn't that make a trio?!).

Advantages: Nice thought, initially great --originals-- Disadvantages: Not the LP originals but cover versions, horrible voices and bad sound quality

I bought this album (before sample tracks for it were available on Amazon) thinking that there would be some nice dark versions of some Bowie tracks. I was prepared for a few strange noises and slightly discordant sounds - some goth music is like that. What I wasn't prepared for was the droning nature of all these tracks!
For a start, a lot of the songs don't lend themselves to the moody, atmospheric goth sound (in hindsight, I should have realised this). Admittedly, Time, Always Crashing, The Man Who Sold The World and Look Back In Anger could be done well in the gothic style, but there are so much better options in 1984, Stay, She Shook Me Cold, Lady Stardust and even Space Oddity.
