Album Description
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The delicate sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, and other instruments will lull your little one into a sweet slumber. These versions of Radiohead are sophisticated enough for people of all ages, but sweet enough to introduce your child to rock’s smartest band. Their album Kid A imagines the scope and power of music created by a newborn child. What will your baby dream about while drifting off to these serene interpretations of Radiohead’s best-loved songs?
Customer Reviews
Is this somthing that I would listen to everyday? No.
.....But It's genius is in the fact that this can be played in a children's room to help them sleep as it is quite soothing and infantile in typical lullaby fashion. but best of all you can stay in the room with your child and not have the urge to blow your brains out to a crappy predictable lullaby from the 'Play-school company over and over and over again. I can listen to this and enjoy it many time's. Get it if you are also ready to choke the stuffing out of mickey and Disney Babies: Lullaby and the such. I have also noticed that there are lullaby versions of Nirvana and Coldplay which I will also be getting. now if they will just release that Motörhead lullaby I'll be set!
...This is the coolest thing ever.
So, I'm obviously not an infant, but I have to say- I LOVE THIS CD. It's complete genius. I love Radiohead, and these lullaby renditions of their songs are very soothing and sweet-sounding. I like falling asleep listening to music, and this CD definitely does the trick.
Can't wait for the Pink Floyd one to be available!
Definitely worth a listen if you're a Radiohead fan
...even if you don't have any kids. They're not going to replace the originals in my playlist anytime soon, but some of these tracks are quite pretty. We'll see shortly how the nieces like 'em.
A special note on "2+2=5": I've seen some people (on iTunes at least) complain that this track is mislabeled, and that it's really "Sit down. Stand up." Actually, this is probably the most interesting track on the album: it mixes both of the two Radiohead originals. It *starts* like "Sit down. Stand up.", but about a minute into the track it gradually shifts over to "2+2=5" so subtly you may miss the transition. Then, about a minute from the end of the track, it shifts *back* to "Sit down. Stand up." I'd been skeptical how either song would work as a "lullaby", since the originals both go sort of ballistic at the end; the answer is that the artist very cleverly mixed the two into one, thereby avoiding the originals' more aggressive parts.
