Explosive: The Best of Bond - Bond
This is another of those odd choices I have, mostly because I listen to hard rock like Black Sabbath. I don't know how I hooked up with this group originally (I think it was off a random music listen off of winamp.com), but I'm glad I did. It's four women who play string instruments. They fuse rock and roll with classical, and produce something that's officially labeled as dance music online, but I'm not sure how to label it. It's all instrumental stuff, and has a nice feel to it. I can get into it from my rock and roll side, and has nice classical string influences. I'm really straining to describe this stuff, as I don't quite know how. I found out about them around May of 2005, and they released a Greatest Hits in July of 2005, so that was a natural pickup. The band does have a cover of the James Bond theme they do, but it's not on here. Likewise, one of my favorites I'd heard before I got this CD isn't on here, either (Quixote).
The DualDisc stuff on the second side was nice, I'd never seen any music videos or concert footage of theirs, so I liked seeing that.
