Only get this cd if you are truly a Bjork fan and can appreciate the lullaby renditions of her music. A FAVORITE, "Come to Me" (a lullaby Bjork wrote for her own son) is gorgeously done as well as "Unravel." My 3 month old loves it!! He has been listening to Bjork before this cd, but he obviously connects better with this style/sound of music for now. Now if they can only get death cab for cutie.....

I purchased this album and The Cure version as well. This is a great album, I liken it to Frosti style track on Vespertine. I played it in the car when I received it and I felt like curling up to sleep.

My daughter falls right out when I play it for her. The only unfortunate thing is that she will wake up when it stops playing.

Rockabye Baby is a pleasant rehash of some of Björk's great songs from Homogenics, Vespertine and others. It has lots of bells, vibraphone, wordless choral vocals and absolutely NO Björk singing at all. I was disappointed by this because I wanted to hear her doing lullaby renditions of her greatest hits with her own cooing voice. A missed opportunity. As it is Rockabye Baby is a little boring if you looking to be moved emotionally or otherwise fully engaged as I usually am with Björk's other albums.

It's nice, and I have no doubt that it is great for putting babies, and adults, asleep.

My 2 month old baby boy loves listening to this, but not as much as I do. If you are a fan of bjork or are familiar with her, then this is awesome.
Forget having to listen to the same old lullabies, put this on and enjoy!
Can't wait to by the other ones in the series
