3.0 out of 5 stars Lost in Translation, April 19, 2005
This CD is an interesting illustration of the difficulties some music has when jumping genres. As a U2 fan with a collector's personality I am not unhappy to have this CD on my shelf but it only rarely comes down and usually only to ask someone to "name that tune."

Some of the songs on this CD cross over relatively well (Sunday Bloody Sunday) but others are simply painful to hear (Desire) and for that reason I give this CD 2.5 stars. Technically good but artistically lacking.

4.0 out of 5 stars U2 String Theory, April 23, 2000
By Scott Dennis "Scott Dennis" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Have let this CD sink in on me for the last week, being a fan of U2 and classical string composition I felt that I could get into it. Let me say that this is not one that will remain in the CD rotation, but rather one that will come out when you are in a special mood...if you have a gift certificate pick it up...otherwise hard nosed U2 fans only! s_dennis@hotmail.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps esoteric, but still powerful, July 14, 2001
By A Customer
I was intrigued when I saw this CD at the record store and a little apprehensive about the material on it. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the renditions on it. Although some of the songs don't translate well as they could have such as Desire and Bad; I feel they did a phenomenal job on capturing the spirit of the original U2 recordings on Where the Streets Have No Name, With or Without You, Mysterious Ways. The musicians on the album are truly talented and worth a listen to. Definitely better than the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's tribute album, that's much better suited to a performance in your local department store or elevator.
