You should check out the tribute tape "In through the email" for a great
female interpretation of GtC. I think that project was started since noone
on DG could stand Enconium. I really don't like Enconium, but there are
some great cover albums, like Stairways to Heaven, The Song Retains The
Name I & II and a lot of the Dread Zeppelin stuff.

I just recently bought my first Rainer Ptacek album, but I think the
tribute album to him, Inner Flame, was done very well. Probably because the
songs are pretty heavily redone...
