The White Stripes - Aluminium

I never was a big fan of The White Stripes but after listening to their latest album, Icky Thump, I downloaded every single album from the band. And I discovered Aluminium.

Aluminium basically covers ten songs from different The White Stripes' albums with orchestral music. And the result is pure genius. Aluminium is like a soundtrack to a tragic and epic movie and while you're listening to it, you do actually see sceneries and landscapes; those usually featured at the beginning of movies, you know?

Although some of those tracks may give you the impression that the orchestra tried to do too much, this record is very very good. It must be noted that neither Meg nor Jack White participated in recording this one although Jack did endorse the project. The musicians here are Richard Russell and Joby Talbot.

1. Aluminium
2. I'm Bound to Pack It Up
