Muse Resistance Question

[phunyuns]

Hi there, I am looking for a copy of resistance in which the lyrics are played by an instrument, preferably violin, instead of being sung. All the instrumentals that I have found are the song just without the lyrics or anything to replace them. I also looked on youtube but found complete covers like them playing the piano in the background with the lyrics melody played by a violin. Anyone know of a version in which the lyrics are replaced by an instrument/violin??

 

I am a figure skater and I would like to put together a program to skate to this song but it cant have sung word in it and the plain instrumental is a bit mundane without the lyrics. Thanks.

I'm on my phone so I don't know if that link will copy properly.

Don't know if you still need it but I found a group on iTunes called 'Vitamin String Quartet' and they cover Muse songs

 

The album is called

'Vitamin String Quartet Performs Muse'

 

And here are the tracks I think they're 79p each or something like £7.99 for the album:

- Resistance

- Uprising

- Knights Of Cydonia

- Supermassive Black Hole

- Time Is Running Out

- New Born

- I Belong To You

- Stockholm Syndrome

- Starlight

- Sing For Absolution

- Muscle Museum

 

I've listened to Resistance and it sounds really good!

Hope that helped

 

EDIT: just realised they were mentioned in the above post ^

All of these can be found on spotify by the way, for free, if you have access to it.

 

 

That's the latest one.

The Vitamin Quartet go further into Muse's back catalogue than Muse do...They make MM sound so cinematic.

It sounds like something's missing in these. It sounds great, but needs some sustained pure and bass notes in there for support.

 

I don't know if it's just me, but it sounds like MIDI; it's too precise and quantized. If it isn't MIDI, then it's quite low quality arranging. It also seems to be lacking that professional feel to it. It almost sounds a bit cheap and I'm missing the fullness.

 

It's not a very complex cover, really. Anyone that knows how to use music software could whip this up in a few hours. I'm not kidding. The VSQ has a nice clean sound, but they don't sound nearly as impressive as some other less-popular arrangements I've heard. It just feels like a mediocre group that got popular somehow, and I'm not exactly sure how.

 

I'm not saying they're bad at all, no way, I just really don't see the reason why everyone gives themselves blowjobs over this. It just sounds like a fairly good live strings MIDI arrangement of Muse without the drums and effects.

 

Don't bash me for all this, I'm only speaking what I hear. I probably wouldn't have said this if I didn't see all these fanboyish comments around. I see all these comments saying how musically awesome the quartet is; it's not that hard to slowly separate the harmonies of a song then play it. All you need is to be a pretty decent strings player and time to map our the harmonies you hear. Making it sound expressive is something I don't really hear too much in these arrangements.... By that, I mean this quartet seems to play things the same way with all their songs: light and jumpy and with the same sound constantly. It works for some songs, but they kind of sound the same. And it shouldn't be like that for this song.

 

I like it, but most of the comments on their youtube videos are over-the-top suck-up comments, calling the people who disagree 'narrow-minded'. There's a reason why people don't like something, and if they have the mind to explain why they don't like it, then they're much further from narrow minded.
