This review is from: Today's Pop Symphony (Audio CD)

Ok, of course "Aranabee" simply means R&B as in "rhythm and blues," but there isn't a whole lot of R&B in here. This diverges from most similar efforts (orchestral takes on pop songs) in that some of the melodies aren't quickly recognizable. You don't always find yourself humming the tune being covered. You can't record "I Got You Babe" without it being recognizable, but that doesn't apply to all of the covers. And it's nice that Mr. Jagger gave us a vocal on the last song. A few more cameo vocals would have been even better. This isn't individualistic enough to move it totally away from the old "easy listening" music category, but it does have some level of uniqueness.
