Product Description
Bond is back. The all-girl string quartet which rocked the classical establishment back in 2000 has returned with a second album, Shine. Bond's first disc, Born, was famously banned from the classical charts--it was crossover alright, but crossed over a bit too much to still be considered a classical release. Shine, however, is unashamedly popular from start to finish. Don't be misled by the thick booklet—it's crammed, not with details of the14 tracks (three of which were written by the Bond girls), but with glossy shots of the pouting four alongside a couple of tigers and a gleaming motorbike and not a fiddle in sight.
In the space of two years, Bond has achieved phenomenal international success with healthy record and ticket sales throughout Europe as well as in the Far East, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Shine reflects this with musical influences ranging from India to South America. But this is far from world music; every track has been so heavily produced that the string quartet sound is all but lost amid heavy beats and electronic effects. At its best, Shine is a dance album with a bit of a limp; at its worst it's pure Hooked on Classics. --Rebecca Agnew
CD Description
Second album by all-female crossover string quartet who so enraged the classical establishment with the release of their 2000 debut 'Born'. Maintaining the worldbeat fusion sound of that album, on 'Shine' they play pieces by Borodin, Albinoni and Piazzolla as well as a cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' and, fittingly, a version of Monty Norman's 'James Bond' theme.
