5 comments about Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics.

1. We always play this cd during the evening routine, just right before the baby's falling asleep and he really likes it. The light tunes are really efficient for this purpose. It is a mixture of songs from the big classics like Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Debussy. Worth the money!



2. We began playing this CD for my daughter as we fed her a bottle in her nursery before naptime and bedtime. I believe it was beneficial to both mom/dad and baby. It was very soothing. Now, two years later, we still play the CD every night before bed and often will play it in the car on long trips to recreate a naptime scenario in the car. Today I am buying a second CD as I am due with another baby in just a few weeks. I expect that the CD will be loved equally by this new baby as it is by my two-year-old.



3. It has different composers in this CD. I enjoy it a lot since I love classical music; however, it has repeats if you already have Baby Bach & Baby Mozart 1 & 2 CDs.



4. My three girls grew up watching the video's it is great to see the legacy live on! You are making a difference. Thank you and keep it up! [...]



5. Perfect music to relax little boys and quiet them after their hectic day.
   Solves sleep problems.
   Good for oldies as well.

5 comments about Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of The Beatles.

1. This series of CDs is absolutely wonderful. I've had a number of baby showers to go to recently, and I always give a couple of these because, as gifts, they are different. They are a consistent hit! I know new moms need lots of diapers and onsies, but something like this, suited to the parents' musical tastes is always appreciated. And I even have a couple that I like to listen to (and I have no kids). They are wonderfully done and soothing, and you'll never get tired of hearing the same "old school" lullaby tunes!



2. Nice change for parents from the usual lullaby cd's, but not a top pick for putting baby to bed.



3. At first,"Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles" sounds like a cheesy concept album. In its own campy way, it works. The Beatles, in their psychedelic period, wrote kid-friendly songs like "Here comes the sun","Strawberry fields","Yellow Submarine" and the cosmic lullaby/meditation "Across the universe." Thankfully,these songs are on the album, albeit in the form of mellotron and glockenspiel.
   
   The Beatles kids' version is superior to the other compilations highlighting Metallica and Nirvana, simply because of the nature of the Fab Four's material. True, it's dumbed-down and slowed-down,but better than having to explain Kurt Cobain's life to the young 'uns or telling them the lyrics to Metallic'a "Anesthesia: Pulling Teeth."
   
   There are some odd omissions,such as "Lucy in the sky with diamonds","Octopus' Garden","Mr. Kite" and "Penny Lane." More kid-friendly songs from the Liverpool quartet. Luckily,they omit "Sexy Sadie","Why don't we do it in the road?" and "Eleanor Rigby."
   
   Still,this is a somewhat New Agey,dumbed-down version of the Beatles. Why not introduce kids to the originals instead? I grew up listening to the Beatles... so why not cross Abbey Road?



4. I love this one and the Pink Floyd one- its basically some of the best and most melodic songs on a xyhlaphone but it is beautiful to listen to and you find yourself naturally singing along to your baby- mine loves the both of them. We also have the Zeppelin one, but I think it works best with bands that wrote beautiful songs/melodies. Absolute recommendation for lullaby music- I can't stand most of the other stuff and i don't think my baby can either.



5. A friend of mine and his wife had a baby just days after Christmas, and this was the perfect gift. They shipped it quickly, and now their baby has something that he loves to fall asleep to!

1. I always try to talk my kids to meditation before sleeping. Telling them to pray for today and hope it is a better day waiting for us tomorrow. This album is amazing. It is one of the best albums I ever listened to as far as relaxation. I suggest everyone buys one for himself with or without children.



2. A friend of ours sent us this when our son was in the hospital, at 5 weeks old, for open heart surgery. It was a stressful, sad (yet victorious too as it saved his life) time and this cd was a true gift of comfort. We had our laptop and played this cd by our son's crib all night long and often during the day. We slept in the room with him and it nurtured us as well. He is 3 1/2 months old now and we still listen to it most every night. If he's fussing, he stops instantly when I turn the cd on. Song #1 is our favorite. I love to hold him in my arms and dance around the bedroom listening to it, every night before I put him to bed. Each song is very different and it's great exposure to other cultures. Yes, buy this cd!



3. This is a compilation of the most stunning lullabies I've ever heard. My daughter is 10 months old, and I can't believe that we just discovered this album now! The other lullaby CDs we own pale in comparison to this CD. I can't imagine anyone not loving the songs on this album as much as we do. But it... you won't regret it.



4. We love this CD!
   
   My daughter goes to sleep to it every night, and we also play it during the day just for nice relaxing background music.
   I love that it incorporates so many different types of music...african, brazilian, etc. It is a WONDERFUL CD that I would highly reccommend!



5. Wonderful, soothing, beautiful, diverse collection of lullabies from countries around the world. I put this in the CD player at naptime for my pre-K class and hit repeat play. I would suggest to anyone with children.

5 comments about The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe.

1. Lovely and relaxing music to rock a baby. Even if you don't have a baby to rock it is soothing.



2. I was very pleased with this collection. It is simply just beautiful classical music that hasn't been dumbed down for babies, like so many other albums seem to be. It also does NOT have any 'new age' like adaptions, which was a big plus for me personally. My daughter has not had any problems drifting to sleep while it's playing. I would definitely recommend this as a great first CD for your baby!



3. This is a nice CD full of classics. Not all of the tracks will lull baby to sleep (try Mozart for Mothers-to-be), but, for the price, it's well worth adding to your collection.



4. very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.



5. These lullabies are infact very soothing. I have filled an MP3 player for my princess w/ lullabies, classical music and the Nutcracker and it helps w/ keeping her asleep all night by shadowing all other noises in the house until morning. I would recomend anyone to get this cd not only for a small child but for anyone who has trouble sleeping. These beautiful classical mastepieces help anyone fall peacefully asleep*

5 comments about Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Bob Marley.

1. My 2 1/2 year old son likes all the Rockabye Baby! CD's to be played when he is going to sleep. Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night he requests that his music be put back on... Though he enjoy's this and some of the other Rockabye Baby! his favorite is the Led Zeppelin version.



2. What a great way to introduce a child to music I like...lullaby versions of Bob Marley. I stopped short of 5 stars because some of the songs are not readily identifiable. But I plan to get the lullaby cd of Jimmy Buffett too.



3. My son had an affinity to reggae since he was born, I put it on and he falls asleep to it. This c.d. is very cute and peaceful. Nice versions of classic Marley.



4. My wife and I love this CD, and our little girl has taken a liking to it as well. We have the whole CD in our iPod playlist right near her crib. Great tunes, and mom and dad get to sing to themselves!



5. If you love Bob Marley, you will love this cd! I might like it better than my LO. LOL It is very soft and soothing, but you can still tell what the songs are.

1. I gave it as a gift to a relative who has a 8 month old and it is a big hit...

5 comments about Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Coldplay.

1. This is great background/naptime music for kids AND parents. It's soothing and easy to have on while little ones are sleeping or playing. It's not overwhelmingly lullaby-like (no "Hush Little Baby" playing over and over!) and so it's easy for parents to tolerate. I had it on while friends were over and they liked it too! Of all the Rockabye Baby CDs I've heard, this is definitely my favorite.



2. Love these cds!! Great music for babies and songs their parents already know and love!



3. This is the Cd by Coldplay where they take their music and make a lullaby for babies. I bought it for my son's sister-in-law who had a baby. I got a very positive response from the parents and they are late 20s to early 30's.
   So I bought more for my kids for future grandchildren. I highly recommend it as it is nice for the parents also.



4. Superlative choice. Beautiful and soothing muic for babies and adults. My favorite gift for new baby, stressed out adults, Coldplay fans and people trying to lull themselves to meditate or sleep. I think it is fabulous (far better than other artists in this collection).



5. My son, Ghabe, goes to sleep in minutes after hearing the soothing notes of the first few songs. After his - ah, I doanwanna go nightnight - he takes off his clothes, puts them on his chair, goes pp, we read a story or two, gets tucked in. Then I put this in his computer CD drive and he's off to sleep. He used to jump around after the story and get me to fussing, not anymore. Thanks. You made this single Dad's life a bit easier.

5 comments about Disney's Karaoke Series: Disney Princess, Vol. 2.

1. 
   Contains 8 Songs With AND Without Lead Demonstration Vocals (16 Tracks Total). Lyric Book Included.
   
   Karaoke songs are professional recreations and do not contain actual artist or character vocal performances. Karaoke CDG player is required to be able to view the on-screen lyrics, but the disc plays just like a music CD when using a CD player, DVD player, video game system or computer.
   
   1. So This Is Love - (Cinderella)
   2. If You Can Dream - (Disney Princess)
   3. Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo - (Cinderella)
   4. I Won't Say (I'm In Love) - (Hercules)
   5. Every Girl Can Be A Princess - (Cinderella)
   6. A Whole New World - (Aladdin)
   7. I Wonder - (Sleeping Beauty)
   8. Once Upon A Dream - (Sleeping Beauty)



2. She likes it very much some of the songs sound like the movie others are remakes but are very close. It comes with cute visual effects for the television.



3. My 5-year-old got this for Christmas from Santa with a Karaoke machine - and she loves it! It's one of her favorite toys...



4. Pretty good CD. It's good that it comes with the lyrics. It's great to use for the instrumentals for a wedding, but it should have the background vocals.



5. Before I have bought this CD, I had thought that this CD must be like any other Disney Princess karaoke CDs. The Disney Princess karaoke CDs I had bought before made me disappointed more or less, because the songs in them were not the original versions, and the instrumental tracks were not the original ones either. They felt not so good. I'm a Disney Princess music collector, and I couldn't decide whether I should buy this CD as soon as a friend who had got this CD lent it to me. After I have finished all the tracks in this CD, I decided to buy this CD immediately. It's really wonderful! I couldn't stop listening to it after I bought it.
   It's not like any other Disney Princess karaoke CDs, especially the instrumental tracks are better off, though some of the songs in this album are old. I think the best instrumental track in this album is the one of "If You Can Dream". This song is one of my favorite Disney Princess song, so this track is what I have been looking for for long. This track took my worry away as soon as I was doubt that this track is an original instrumental track or not. It is the original one, in the part of the chorus in this song, there is a little vocal. So when I sing along I feel excellent! And the instrumental track of "Every Girl Can Be a Princess" which was from the album "Disney Princess Tea Party" just like "If You Can Dream", is also a good one. The instrumental track of "A Whole New World" is wonderful too, the initial romantic feeling hasn't lost at all. But I was very a little disappointed that "A Whole New World" track with vocal is not the original version. So are the tracks "So This Is Love" "Once Upon A Dream" and "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)". However, if all the instrumental tracks were maken up from the initial timbre, it might give us a little terrible feeling in ears.
   Generally speaking, this is a wonderful job that Disney Records did. There are wonderful new songs and some classic songs with or without vocal. It's pretty good in my opinion, and I think your little girls will love this, the elder Disney Princess fans will love this and collect it too.

5 comments about On a Starry Night.

1. I bought this CD based on the reviews and it was everything everyone said it was. I have older children that are in college and want the CD because when they listen to it with their brother, it's so relaxing. If you want gentle background music to lull your child to sleep, this is it. If you want to destress with soothing music, this is it. Excellent.



2. I bought this CD because of all the rave reviews I read about it. The other people must have been a bit more earthy-crunchy than I am. I found all the wind instruments a bit boring. I think I like to hear a little more piano or something... I love the baby Mozart CD but I thought my baby needed a change every once in a while. Thats why I bought this one. It's ok....



3. I just love this CD. It puts my 4 month old, and me, to sleep every night. It soo soothing and relaxing, and really just beautiful music. I encourage you to take a few minutes and listen to the samples....



4. This is the only sleepytime album that our little one listens to and it works to put him to sleep every time.



5. My daughter recieved this CD as a gift for her 2nd birthday. For the last 2+ years she has listened to it almost every single night when going to sleep. It is such a beautiful and peaceful compilation. It was a great compromise to get rid of the night light!

5 comments about Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Led Zeppelin.

1. I purchased this as a gift for friends expecting a baby. They really loved it and it was a lot of fun to give them such a unique gift.



2. My sister had this cd for her own baby and my daughter went right to sleep when she heard it. i had to get home and purchase it. also got the Cure one which is great. i can sit and rock baby and STILL listen to my favorite songs! i hum a long so its doubly relaxing for her. These cd's are so clever and such a great idea. A 'must purchase' for shower gift.



3. As a die-hard Led Zep fan and a new mother, I saw this as a "must have." It's a nice idea, but some of the songs are really hard to recognize. My baby never really got into "baby music." I see it as more of a novilty item, my daughter prefers real music from a radio or cd.



4. My wife and I received "Rockabye Baby: the Cure" at our baby shower. It was very good, and I wanted more!
   
   We got the Led Zeppelin album this Christmas (2007). I am amazed at how beautifully some of the somgs translate into lullabies! Some of the songs were predictably sweet and melodic, like Stairway to Heaven, Going to California and D'Yer Maker. But I was surprised and elated to see some of Zep's more "experimental" songs on the playlist. Offbeat classics like Dazed and Confused and Kashmir are amazing to hear, and remind me of more "adult" children's songs like "Peter and the Wolf."
   
   My baby enjoys the music, and I relish listening to these rock-and-roll greats with her!



5. I was thrilled when I saw this series of lullabye CDS - however a lot of them sound like horror-movie music. Sometimes the hard stuff does not translate well into an innocent sound. This was by far the best we've heard. Not only do the melodies work with baby-friendly instruments, the arrangements themselves are complex enough to hold mom and dad's interest too. A few of the other CDs in the series are a little plunky and repetitive, but not this. It's made me appreciate Zep more for their skill in crafting a layered song.
   It's become a favorite in our house. Highly Recommended!
