Soundtrack to the Comic Book: V for Vedetta

For readers of the classic Alan Moore graphic novel "V for Vendetta", here's the album that contains the music inspired by and taken from the book.


When I saw the movie adaptation that recently came out, I was disappointed that the song that was featured in the introduction to book 2 of the story, "This Vicious Cabaret" (both the title of the book and the song, made no appearance in the film. (Can Hugo Weaving even sing?)

The lyrics were written by Moore himself, and sent out to David J (formerly of the band Bauhaus) who composed the music, that was then printed into the comic itself.

The music was published in a few forms back in the 80's but has been out of print until now. With the hype the novel has gotten in the wake of the movie adaptation, the time was ripe to release David J's "V for Vendetta".

I look forward to listening to the album while re-reading the comics again.
