I have to hand it to the Cleopatra label- they are single-handedly keeping the tribute compilation industry afloat. A survey of just some of the more recent offerings reveals compilations that are usually a mix of some older recognizable artists and ones you probably have not heard of, but there are a few that seem to be in-the-studio only bands. Of course, what really matters is just one thing: are the covers any good?
There are some stylistic (Heaven forbid I say "genre") approaches to The Doors that probably wouldn't work, especially for a whole album, but this Goth approach is interesting. If you need a reference, think very early Ministry.
Alright, so what about this particular cover? I admit that I've only listened through the album once so far, but this jumps out as the best of the bunch. The electronic based sounds more like "L.A. Woman" than "People Are Strange." Only the vocals reassure you that you are in fact listening to the correct song. I could listen to the basic bass and guitar riffs all day. This is a really good cover.
