String Tribute to Opeth?

[Ozzloaf]

Hi,
I was in the store today and they had an album called A String Tribute to Opeth. I've never heard of it before today. I don't remember much about it but it seemed new as the first track was Porcelain Heart. Does anyone have it?

 

[gumtree]

i dont, but you can hear samples at amazon. sounds interesting.

Is it just me or do those "strings" sound a bit fake?

 

[Luann]

I may do a better one someday

I just listened to the samples on Amazon. It sounds synthesized to me. Horrible, in my opinion.

They sound like the strings in Finale, a midi based composition program.

String Tribute to Opeth.

Watched this on youtube before but I have to admit that as far as I can judge this there are a lot of wrong notes. Subscribed to this guy's videos, though.

^Yeah, I like the idea a lot but the execution is a little poor, with some good moments. This may be attributed to "i drunken at time so forgive mistake".

I posted my string cover in the last thread about this CD, so here it is again.

Take a listen.

Yeah I heard several wrong notes, but it still sounds better than the official string tribute release. He wasn't that bad, the part at 2:20 -> is pretty well done.
