"Lullaby Classics" (03/16/2004) Children's Baby Einstein, Walt Disney RecordsBaby Einstein: Anik Oulianine (cello); Aaron Drake (flute); Dan Willis (English horn, oboe); Tom Nazziola (piano, keyboards); Bill Weisbach (keyboards, percussion, chapman stick); Clive Smith (keyboards). Though there exist many children's-music discs geared towards dancing, singing, learning, and generally keeping kids active and entertained, there are fewer that address the all-so-important nap time that follows. Luckily, Baby Einstein's LULLABY CLASSICS is perfect for when youngsters (and parents) need a break. The 17-track CD features well-known classical pieces performed by the Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra, an ensemble comprised of several keyboards, cello, flute, English horn, oboe, percussion, and Chapman Stick (a stringed instrument that combines the ranges of the guitar and bass). Throughout, the tunes are played in an even-tempered manner that is, while often sprightly in tempo, light and soothing. The instrumentation seems carefully chosen to smooth out the music's more animated edges, making the proceedings just right for drifting off to sleep. Even classical music neophytes will be familiar with Beethoven's "Fur Elise" and "Moonlight Sonata," but less well known pieces such as Smetana's "The Moldau" (a gentle waltz with a slight ethnic flavor), and Mendelssohn's jaunty "Spring Song" contribute equally to the prevailing sense of tranquility.

"Kidz Bop Halloween" (08/24/2004) Children's Kidz Bop Kids, Razor & Tie MusicThe Razor & Tie label hit on a winning formula with its KIDZ BOP KIDS series, which features newly recorded, kid-sung, and "kid friendly" versions of best-selling hit songs. With KIDZ BOP HALLOWEEN (not to mention KIDZ BOP CHRISTMAS), the line expands into theme albums timed perfectly for the holidays. All of the classic horror-related novelty numbers are here, from Bobby "Boris" Pickett's genre-defining "Monster Mash" to Michael Jackson's cinematic "Thriller" and Ray Parker, Jr.'s "Ghostbusters." These aren't the original versions, of course, but the Kidz Bop Kids production team manages to keep things fairly true to the sources, delivering peppy, expertly executed music that will fit well right alongside the costumes and candy corn.

"Kidz Bop 6" (08/10/2004) Children's Kidz Bop Kids, Razor & Tie MusicRecording information: 2004. The sixth installment in the wildly popular KIDZ BOP series presents more kids singing pop and R&B songs (with some help from adult vocalists and musicians). Jessica Simpson's romantic "With You" is first up on this Kidz Bop Kids outing, followed by Maroon 5's amazingly catchy "This Love." As always, the children's vocals are at the forefront, backed by grown-up singers and synthesizer-based music. Other highlights of KIDZ BOP 6 include Beyonce's determined "Me, Myself & I," a string-filled take on Sheryl Crow's version of "The First Cut Is the Deepest," and a lively remix of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful." This energetic sampling of popular kid-appropriate tunes is sure to please both children and their parents.
