Hey all my classic music friends heart just wanted to get your opinion on the all girl group "bond". They've been around since the start of the millenium (2002, i think). Anyway, I sorta rediscovered them, and forgot how much I liked some of their music. Just wanted to hear what you think about their take on some well known classical pieces, and their own compositions.

I like them. Some of their stuff is great, some is pure cheese. I just usually happen to enjoy the cheese. whee Looking at my itunes, I must not have liked their CD Classified too much, because I only have two songs from it. I have everything from Shine and Born, though. I respect them as players - they all went to major conservatoires in the UK, but I don't really think that's reflected at all in the music they are producing, fun as it is. Well, with the exception of a couple pieces.
I love listening to Bond and their music. I think that their versions of pieces are not always better than the originals, but pretty close to them. I personally prefer acoustic instruments better, but I wouldn't say no to an electric violin.
