Release Notes:
--------------
Vitamin's decision to combine the catalogs of Joy Division and New
Order for this string tribute is likely sound thinking; as the groups
progressed from former to latter, so does this recording. It begins
with the most obvious and effective Joy Division material: "Love Will
Tear Us Apart," "She's Lost Control," "Isolation," and "New Dawn
Fades." Of these, "Isolation" might work best, since its tension is
made even more palpable by the insistent, screeching violins. The set
moves into its second half with a stirring and methodically slow
version of "Bizarre Love Triangle." The cello, violins, and viola don't
do as well with "Blue Monday," but "True Faith" becomes the record's
high point with its robust bottom end and plaintive melody.
