Editorial Reviews

Each release in the Rockabye Baby! series takes the best-known songs of a particular artist and places them in a lullaby processor that involves chimes, bells, and vibraphones -- renditions that are slightly more involved than the music that comes out of the average baby mobile. Whether the original versions are heavy and aggressive or light and subdued, these lullaby versions are uniformly appropriate for their purpose. And, in some cases, they even happen to tease out an unlikely amount of melodicism not apparent in the originals. The Radiohead volume features versions of "Everything in Its Right Place," "Karma Police," "Knives Out," "Subterranean Homesick Alien," "Paranoid Android," and "Sail to the Moon." What, no "Morning Bell" or "Go to Sleep"? ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

4.0 out of 5 stars Is this somthing that I would listen to everyday? No. October 15, 2006

.....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!

5.0 out of 5 stars ...This is the coolest thing ever. September 8, 2006

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth a listen if you're a Radiohead fan June 6, 2007

By Scott Davies

...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.
