The Gothic Wedding Collection is a pretty cool spin on the music you grew up listening to in the 80’s, as performed by Los Angeles based string quartet– Vitamin. Vitamin’s mission is to offer fans exciting versions of their favorite songs performed in new musical contexts.
From the label’s first album, “The String Quartet Tribute to Led Zeppelin” through lounge tributes to Ani DiFranco and Outkast and recent electronic explorations of the music of Tool and Kraftwerk, Vitamin has something to offer everyone among the label’s 185 releases to date.
Listeners can expect bold and innovative treatments of their favorite artists’ best-known songs as well as a few surprises on each album. Each tribute is a lovingly made testament to the enduring qualities of rock and pop’s brightest and biggest stars.
All the songs are, appropriately enough, love songs but selected from the darker spectrum of music. You can also listen to their other interpretations by visiting their site.
The album features 15 tracks of rocks songs (Bizarre Love Triangle, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Orinoco Flow, and Just Like Heaven to name a few), reinterpreted as symphonic pieces. The music is only available as an MP3 download.
Buy The Gothic Wedding Collection from Amazon.
Prepare to be surprised and inspired when you hear your favorite songs given the Vitamin treatment. Now that’s good medicine!
