Release Notes:
Wow... how many different ways can I fuck up this release? 3rd time's a charm?
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies.
The soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and other instruments
will lull your baby into a sweet slumber.
If itÆs timeless youÆre looking for, you donÆt have to look much further than
Ireland's legendary heroes U2. Their cascading melodies and soundscapes are a perfect
foundation for these heavenly lullabies. Introducing your little one to this
unforgettable music is the sweetest thing you can do.
If you've been operating under the impression that songs with the word "bloody" in
the title can't make for good lullabies, guess again: given the Baby Rock treatment,
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" sounds infant-tested, sandman-approved. And, more important,
not even the tiniest bit absurd. With their glockenspiels, vibraphones, and mellotrons,
the Baby Rock magicians have spun sweetness and a soothing vibe into everything from
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "Stairway to Heaven"; given the unthinkable nature of
those undertakings, this one seems almost too easy. "All I Want is You" is a little on
the snuggly side to begin with, after all, and so is "The Sweetest Thing." No matter
how high the bar is set, what's consistent about this series is its knack for getting
eyelids to drooping and rock fans to chuckling: Bono and the Sandman make for strange
bedfellows, but entertaining ones.
Though I'm a huge fan of U2, I like the Cure and Nirvana renditions better than this
one.
