Seqencers... Submitted on: 2009-08-10 |
|
| I'm a classically trained string player and I have used MIDI sequencing and samples extensively in my work, and I am almost 100% certain that not a single actual stringed instrument is being played. Instead, it is a collection of MIDI sequencers with a mid-range sample library (much like they use in lower budget film scores). Honestly, I think it's a little disingenuous to claim that this is an actual string quartet, when in reality, it's a computer. Go listen to the Emerson String Quartet, and then come back and listen to this. I think you'll hear the difference. |

Where was this when I got married???!!!! Submitted on: 2008-06-24 |

OMG... I was trying to find something unique to play walking down the aisle (even though I found something else-"Barcarolle from La Vita E Bella Soundtrack :-D) in Feb of 2008. I'm a HUUUUGE fan of Coldplay (hate Viva la Vida, ick!), and this is AMAZING :-D!!!! Had I HAD the chance to walk down to this CD, it woulda been Shiver, Clocks, or Trouble :-D I'm soo kicking myself in the you-know-what!!!! I'm buying this ASAP!!! Can't wait to see them next month in Philly!!!!
Sincerely,

Strings sound good on Coldplay Submitted on: 2008-03-03 |

I'm giving this a 5 when I really think it deserves a 4.5. I think it deserves many listening ears and I don't want to undercut it by giving it a 4.
In my opinion the genre of string tributes to pop/alternative albums is a bit dicey. They tend toward the cheesy (you can almost hear the elevator climbing floors as you listen) or the bizarre (you hear cellos and violins but hear Isaac sloane's voice in your head as the songs play). This album, however, manages to forge out its own identity--it's Coldplay but it's not Coldplay in an elevator or in a bizarre dream. Instead it's a beautiful manifestation of an already cool band and great album. Not that Coldplay needs a lot of improvement mind you, but this album adds art--and value--to what the band originally created.
If you don't like a classical music vibe and you don't like strings, then I don't think you will like this, but if you do and you like Coldplay, then give it a try. |

| Excellent!!!!! In My Place will send shivers through your body! Yellow is beautiful too. A must own for any Coldplay fan, prior to X&Y-which I hated. |

| The String Quartet has provided such a beautiful album. With a fusion of its talented and spirited strings, the Quartet leaves you with captivating and poignant emotions. |
