Default Re: good music with violins.

I have the album you're looking for -- R.E.M.'s "Automatic For the People." It's a pop/rock vocal album by an amazingly talented group where virtually every song has violins/cellos in it. The string arrangements were done by John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin. The entire album has a beautifully slow, evocative feel -- for particular tracks, go for "Drive," "Nightswimming," and "Sweetness Follows" for the best violin sounds. All have great vocals as well.
