EXCELLENT! I just bought this CD, and have already listened to it a half dozen times. I am a HUGE fan from the classic KISS years (1974-1979 - the years with Peter and Ace in the group).
If you are a KISS fan, and also like string quartet music, you will love this. If you are a fan of either (KISS or string quartet music), you will have a better appreciation and like for both after purchasing and hearing this CD.
These guys give the correct respect to classic KISS performance and it is especially seen in the string harmonies, and Ace's guitar solos in each song (except of course "Beth" which didn't have a solo by Ace until the "Unplugged" CD). The only down side of this are the songs that aren't on it, but hopefully that will mean a Volume 2!

GREAT CD!

I Bought this in an earlier edition.Its very nice to see it available in a slightly better cover ( I guess Vitamin Records must have rethought the packaging).Anyways, they manage to convey the simplicity of KISS, as well as articulating the string tones. On a good sound system this is very nice to listen to, and a good buy for KISS fans.Its also a great ilustration of how the orchestrations should have been done, as compared to the Symphonic mess that the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra did for the KISS sonic outing in the KISS Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; in trying to compete with the KISS Visual Bombast, the Orchestral Australian lost the plot and the String Quartet shows the Antidote. I highly recommend this for KISS fans.

I got this for the novelty... It's different. Surely not music to consumate a relationship with.
