My introduction to this type of music started with violinist extraordinaire, Vanessa Mae in 1990's. The fusion of techno, pop and serious classical was a breath of fresh air, and Bond soon found its way into the long list of my favorites. The classically trained flutist in me loves the serious backbone in this music but the poppy/dance movie like melodies mesh so well that it morphs into a wonderful crossover. The violins, viola and cello here are throbbing with passion, excitement and fresh, new vibrancy. If I am sitting down when listening to this, my feet are always tapping whether I know it or not, but this is really appropriate for just about any activity. Those familiar with the classical pieces that were used and embellished on will enjoy the new take on old favorites.

Fans of Pachelbel's Canon will adore "Lullaby" it's sweet and romantic. I always feel as if I was at a spring wedding on some exotic locale whenever I hear it.

"Dream Star" in my mind it sounds like sunset and then sunrise somewhere warm where the air is thick and views stunning.

"I'll Fly Away" is simply amazing, when this stars playing I get goosebumps, it just sounds like a journey under a starry sky in Morocco, riding a camel wile the cool wind blows through the hair.

"Hungarian" makes me thing of goulash and jumping over fires! Fun, crazy piece with some trance mixed in.

"Adagio for Strings" done with drums and synthesizer - lovely and moving, also really well done as a trance piece by DJ Tiesto - fyi for the fans of the melody.

"Explosive" just like the name suggests it's not a shy piece; it was used during the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

Those familiar with the classical pieces that were used and embellished on will enjoy the new take on old favorites. Every time I hear this CD it makes me happy, I can't wait for their new album coming out this year.
