And that's the point. The group expertly mines the crossover territory mapped out by artists such as Vanessa-Mae and Adiemus, and despite the hype and marketing, Bond shouldn't be dismissed as merely a pretty girl group cloaked in classical music pretension. Along with their photogenic looks, the group boasts impressive classical and pop music credentials and canny commercial instincts. The result: a big, polished production that sets classically derived themes and traditional string quartet instrumentation in a variety of musical contexts.\u003cbr\u003eThe album's opening track, \"Quixote,\" is indicative of the group's method--an ultra-romantic theme abruptly explodes into a high-energy pastiche of techno-style beats, electronically enhanced vocals, and Middle Eastern-flavored colorings. The foursome shows its multitude of musical influences in the worldbeat stylings of \"Alexander the Great,\" the Abba-esque \"Dalalai,\" the atmospheric \"Oceanic\" (with vocalist Marta Sebestyen), and \"The 1812,\" the group's lavishly produced reworking of Tchaikovsky's well-known overture. The album closes fittingly with a remixed version of the anthemic \"Victory,\" an apt declaration of Bond's take-no-prisoners approach.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46557317169439,"sku":"028947004028","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/49a263d215b361e7919b726a6d2c37ac.jpg?v=1777954982","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/born-uk-bonus-track","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
