It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

Polarizing critics since their 2000 inception, Bond have continued to perfect their fusion of pop, worldbeat, and classical instrumentation. Eos Chater (violin), Haylie Ecker (violin), Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello), and Tania Davis (viola) were well-educated musically, having played their specific instruments since early childhood and accompanied acts like the Divine Comedy, Primal Scream, Embrace, and Mark Knopfler. But the quartet couldn't find a happy medium. They raised the classical world's ire with their short skirts and electronic programming, but Bond wasn't purely pop or dance either, alienating them on most sides. Born appeared Decca in early 2001, and showcased salsa, house, and European folk textures over modified classical melodies. The following year's Shine was a hit on the classical crossover charts, a place inhabited by similarly accessible artists like Josh Groban and Sarah Brightman. A 2003 remix album was Bond's admission that they wouldn't go quietly, content in their slick, shiny approach to classical, pop, and dance music. They toured Europe and Asia throughout that year, and appeared a series of cross-promotional ads for the US department store chain Marshall Field's. The Classified LP followed in 2004, and 2005's Explosive was a greatest hits set that included unreleased tracks and bonus video content. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Have been a fan since I first of them. EXCEPT: Adagio for Strings: Ugh! you killed it, sorry, but what were you thinking? Such delicate instrumentation drowning under the techno... Love you otherwise. ;-)
So many people judge other people JUST by what they wear...in my opinion...GET A LIFE! Dont you have anything better to do?? They sound awesome, who cares what they wear?

eh....... Escala all the way!!! ;)

Saw them live several years back... a wonderful experience.
One of the reasons I love Bond is because you girls frustrate me so much. WIth all other music there is someway I can connect to it. Either by guitar, piano, or singing. With you girls all I can do is try and find the cello music online and it can't find it anywhere! Does anyone have a free link to their music, special request Explosive? Even though from what I can hear the Cello part isn't as intricate as it could be.
Love what you said, Joshua! Shut up and listen, people.

I'm saddened that I can recognize that their album covers are strikingly similar to that of Destiny Child. Obviously, these ladies have MUCH more musical talent
Oh this is good music........ wait the album cover has them in dresses......... and their in positions to look beautiful........... HOLY S**T CALL THE COPS THEY MUST BE WHORES QUICK EVERYONE STOP LISTENING TO THEIR MUSIC AND REPENT! Seriously guys, stfu and gtfo.
I happen to like their music very much, most of the time these girls are made over by record executives that feel that it may bring them more mass appeal to dress more provocatively. I say if they have it they might as well flaught it. Most pop tartlets today are just showing off thier bodies and have no real talent. Bond has legitimate talent and beauty to go with it. Hopefully they will make some more music in the future. Those that criticize just on looks are just jealous, there is no way aro
If you think Bond is cramming sex appeal down the masses throats, you are absurd. Like someone else said below step back a second and consider the other pop artists out there and their comparison in skill to whore ratios...
faithvictoria and agoodinson24 why do you have to put these girls down to build yourselves up?...sounds like sour grapes. So what if theyre reveling in their femininity by having fun with makeup, clothes etc and beauty in general?

Great, but why have they not released anyrthing new for quite sometime?
snuggery2003
where are they today have not heard anything in a while Mmay220
These grils are doing something fantastic in that they are getting people who might not normally listen to classical music to expan their horizons. There dress has nothig to do with their talent and should not even be an issue,. Look at others like Lady Gaga, would you rather they be in meat dresses? I say leve them alone to entertain any way the want and just enjoy some really fantastic music.
I'm sorry to be a party pooper, but it's also possible that they LIKE being able to have fun with their sex appeal. They're young attractive women. Why shouldn't they be able to dress any way they want without people thinking they have low self-esteem? I'm not trying to be provocative, but sometimes it's just fun to dress a little scandalous.

I feel sorry for them that they think so little of themselves to sell there bodies along with there songs to whoever has the change!
agoodinson24
I agree!! WTF?? 0.o why do they have to look like hookers?
faithvictoria
I would have to agree with you Kristina Straub!

Kristina - Assuming equal musical skill, playboy bunnies would sell more music than obese hoarders; don't you agree?
I love Bond, but would love to hear real drums and do away with the electronic drum. I truly think they would be even greater with a rhythm section as real as the rest of the instruments.

so enticing

Viola's are also a bit lower in key(?), pitch(?). Violins go higher
