Polarizing critics since their 2000 origin, Bond experience continued to perfect their fusion of pour down, worldbeat, and classical instrumentality. Eos Chater (violin), Haylie Ecker (violin), Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello), and Tania Davis (viola) were knowledgeable musically, having played their specific instruments since early childhood and accompanied acts of the Apostles like the Divine Comedy, Primal Scream, Embrace, and Mark Knopfler. But the 4 couldn't detect a happy medium. They embossed the classical world's ira with their shortsighted skirts and electronic programming, merely Bond wasn't purely pop or dance either, alienating them on near sides. Natural appeared Decca in early 2001, and showcased salsa, firm, and European folks textures over modified classical melodies. The undermentioned year's Shine was a hit on the classical crossover charts, a position inhabited by similarly accessible artists like Josh Groban and Sarah Brightman. A 2003 remix record album was Bond's admittance that they wouldn't go quietly, substance in their slick, shining approach to classical, pop, and dance music. They toured Europe and Asia end-to-end that year, and appeared a series of cross-promotional ads for the US department store chain Marshall Field's. The Classified LP followed in 2004, and 2005's Explosive was a sterling hits countersink that included unreleased tracks and bonus video recording content.
