Bond is a string quartet that uses electric instruments. They do remixes of classical songs, and other genres.

Some examples:

Kashmir redo (originally by Led Zepplin)
Sugarplum (a remix of the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies)
The 1812 (a remix of the 1812 Overture)
Viva! (a remix of Winter from Vivaldi's Four Seasons)

But they also do good work on their own.

Fuego
Scorchio
Duel
Explosive
Victory
Shine

Hm... I once bought one of their CDs... do you know the song Victory? I love it :)
Haven't heard of them since, though.
I'll have a look for those other songs, they sound good!

There are two Victory mixes. Which one do you have? What CD is it on?

I bought it quite a while ago... back then, I still bought singles ;)
So it's on the Victory single. It just says "mix by Mike Batt", if that tells you something.
But do you know Vanessa Mae? I think her music is similar...

No, I don't know her music...

I do know that particular mix, though. It's really good. That is on their CD "Explosive: The Best of Bond".

My personal favorite is Scorchio.
