Strung Out: The String Quartet Tribute to Modern Rock Hits
By Crystal • Sep 21st, 2007 • Category: Media Alerts“Strung Out: The String Quartet Tribute to Modern Rock Hits” is a string compilation cd of some of 2007’s greatest alternative hits, including a string tribute of Augustana’s ‘Boston’! I listened to the sample on the website and it is just beautiful!
The description from the site:
Are you tired radio playing the same songs over and over? Strung Out is a one-of-a-kind compilation that reinterprets 2007’s hottest alternative rock songs as powerful and inspiring string quartet arrangements. Some of the finest string players in the business are brought together to recreate songs ranging from Good Charlotte’s “I Just Wanna Live,” Augustana’s “Boston,” and Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done.” So turn the radio off and turn this compilation on. Your ears will thank you.
The cd also contains other great tributes to songs by bands such as Sick Puppies (which is another personal favorite :p) and Cute is What We Aim For.
I’d say check it out if you are a fan of unique string arrangments of familiar songs. :)
Thanks, Crystal! How great that their music can reach many generations!
