Rock A Bye Baby

I am sure that someone with a better grasp of music theory might be able to deconstruct this but I am mesmerized! This is essentially rock for your kids in a spoon fed version which would work for the first few months and then beyond in a bed time way. It is also complelety captivating for adults. The company (Baby Rock Records - www.babyrockrecords.com) states -

Baby Rock Records transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies, sending your little one to a slumberland of sweet dreams. Delicate instruments such as the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron, harp and bells create a soothing atmosphere of sound. These charming recordings are sophisticated enough for everyone to enjoy, yet gentle enough for your little angel. This is cherub rock for a new generation.

Glockenspiel + Tool! Possibly the greatest combination in history, ever.

Check out their site or itunes for samples but the complete artist list is below -

Metallica – I must recommend this especially Battery.
Coldplay – Like their music is not baby enough already!
Radiohead – Maybe my daughters can explain Yorke to me.
Tool – God Bless Sober!
Pink Floyd – Wish You Here is still perfect.
Cure
Nirvana - Still shitty.
Beach Boys – ugh.
Queens of the Stone Age – Not as good as it could be.
Eagles – Minus the annoying Henley voice.
Led Zepplin
U2 – Nice. Very Nice.
Ramones
NIN – Trent’s life still sounds terrible.
Bjork – Very nice mixture.
No Doubt
Pixies
Bob Marley – Buffalo Soldiers is tops.
Smashing Pumpkins - Again, still shitty.
Beatles – Strawberry Fields is good.


To clarify, I am not advocating replacing real music for the above as my daughters love Marley, Bono and the the rest. However, this is nice bed time music none the less and it is making me want to take a nap as well.
