Time Out for Fun - Music to be Plagued By

Someone just brought to my attention a brilliant concept (thanks, Steve). There is an album called "Plague Songs" with various artists performing their own musical interpretation of the Ten Plagues from the book of Exodus.

You can buy the CD here, the label's site is here, and the blurb about the CD follows....

Ten international singer-songwriters have each been commissioned by Artangel to write and record a song inspired by one of the ten biblical plagues. Following the original biblical order of the plagues, Plague Songs opens with Klashnekoff’s menacing Blood, via King Creosote’s bewitching Relate the Tale (Frogs) and Brian Eno and Robert Wyatt’s insistent Flies, Laurie Anderson’s mournful The Fifth Plague (Death of Livestock) and Imogen Heap’s mesmeric Glittering Cloud (Locusts) to Scott Walker’s evocation of Darkness and Rufus Wainwright’s tragic Katonah (Death of The Firstborn).
