Its an attempt.......2006-01-02

After hearing the first Matrix soundtrack, I thought Clubbed to Death and My Own Summer would be interesting to hear and faithful to the original. I was wrong.

My Own Summer with strings is dreary and somewhat sad, not expressing the shouting anger of the original. The riffs are fit for an electric guitar, not a cello.

Clubbed to Death is worse. The sound effects aren't played well with strings. Instead of sounding like a good effect, it sounds like a cat wailing, represented by strings. The bass in the stringed isnt great either. I love the original Clubbed to Death, but this one doesnt sound quite right.

It was an attempt, but it didnt work.

Restrung Reignites!.......2005-12-14

Once played, I immediately understood the humor in it. Restrung has it's serious side, but at the same time, you can't help but think, "they're playing rock/heavy metal on string instruments!" Insightfully speaking, I find it funny that the majority of the music for the Matrix was composed on digital devices, yet, Restrung is performed on analog instruments. Not only this, but also the fact that they can take abrasive metal music and expose the inner beauty of their melodies and accent their percussive structures simultaneously. Converting metal music to a wonderful orchestration is no easy task; almost any director will tell you this - ask Michael Kamen, director of the San Francisco Symphony.

38 minutes of boredom.......2004-05-26

I like string music. I even like "tribute"-Albums, but this CD really sucks. Every track is a sleeping pill on it's own.

Neither astonishingly good or bad.......2004-04-24

The addition of "pop" songs is a serious detraction to what might have been a good idea - I have several other tribute albums by this group of people (the Bjork one is particularly good) and while they're not the aforementioned Aopcalyptica, there are some winners on this CD.

The covers of Furious Angels is more resonant and sad than the original, while Chateau is probably the best song on the disc. I just wish they did a cover of the original Chateau Swashbucking cue Davis had written - that would make for a much better string quartet song.

Think Apocalyptica.......2004-04-22

I'm a big fan of metal and I like most classical, so I'm a big Apocalyptica fan. I really liked the Matrix Restrung CD too.

This CD isn't quite as good as Apocalyptica, but if you like their remakes of Metallica and other heavy metal songs, plus if you like classical in general, you'll probably like this CD.

Apocalyptica somehow captures the speed and intensity of even the most driving speed-metal they remake. Some of these Restrung versions of fast Matrix songs, however, are slower renditions(other reviewer mentioned the Manson song, and it is definitely slower).

Don't believe the detractors, this CD is NOT as bad as Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" :)
