Mind Altering
July 19 2004
Format:Audio CD
This CD should not be listened to by the narrow minded or genre biased. I bought this CD and it is fantastic. I can't stop listening to it and even my 9 and 7 year old son's love it. I actually had my girlfriend want to borrow it and unfortunately I had to tell her....NO.
Bond is a perfect blend of classical music mixed with just enough upbeat tempo. It's not very techno-ish or over board in the style..yet it's enough to constantly keep you wanting more.
Great CD for anyone who is tired of main-stream and needs a break from the ordinary. Bond is anything but!

I think that this CD is one of the best that i bought! i love most of the songs, it has so much energy!
I especially love the first song, explosive and the fourth song called Lullaby. Another very beautiful song is Senorita.
Some of the songs were written by bond! They are great at composing. The melodies are great. Lullaby is a very soothing song, Explosive is a feel good song for all occasions. Hungarian and Samba are fun party songs that makes you just wanna stand up and dance! I'll fly away, Dream Star and Midnight garden are songs that are also soothing. They are truly beautiful songs. The songs with great beats and rhythms are Scorchio, Adagio for strings and of course, Explosive.
The only song on this album that shouldn't be is Highly Strung. That song gets me in a very stressed out mood. It's like one of those weird motorcycle chase songs in movies...
Anyway, I recommend this CD for all bond fans and all of you who want some good music!

Is it me or is this album unbelievably forgettable?

Just as I was afraid, after an amazing first and average second album, Bond continues to go down with their third album. After my first listen to this CD, I was ready to give it a two star rating. No song took my attention for more than 30 seconds. After a few more listens I figured it deserves another star due to some songs whose quality is above average. I still couldn't escape the feeling that music from this CD would fit perfectly as part of background elevator or retail store music arrangement. Really no song on this album deserves one's full attention like some songs from "Born".
Os course, it is easy to judge and criticize, however here are my arguments for doing that. On this album there is neither drama (like "Kismet") nor naturally successful classical/pop combination (like "Duel"). There is absolutely nothing new and unpredictable comparing to their previous album "Shine". There are decent covers like "Senorita" (Carmen's Habanera), and "Lullaby" (Pachelbel's Canon in D), and promising new songs like "Explosive" and "Scorchio", however there are also disasters. Wasn't sure whether to laugh or to cry when I heard what they did to one of my favourite classical numbers (Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms). Some songs are pleasant to listen but way too plain ("Samba") and/or boring ("Midnight Garden") to be a part of any kind of classical album.
I can't escape the feeling that this CD was recorded just to make money and not to develop or display skills of artists playing on it. Having some classical training, I can tell that this CD lacks display of talent that these girls obviously have. The only improvement I saw comparing this one to their previous albums was in their looks - they do seem to look hotter and hotter - if anyone cares...
