| | Dirty Three Cinder CD Dirty Three Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Australian trio Dirty Three turn in more of their lush instrumental melancholia on CINDER, the band's seventh full-length album, but there are key differences here. The first is that the songs are all very short, yet their succinctness dilutes none of the group's craft or sonic expansiveness. Additionally, CINDER is full of rich, intriguing overdubs (a rarity for Dirty Three), with violinist Warren Ellis also playing mandolin, viola, and bouzouki, and guitarist Mick Turner adding organ and bass. The result is a more focused and fuller-sounding record than any in the band's discography; and with guest appearances from Cat Power's Chan Marshall and the Mekons' Sally Tims, CINDER is a must-hear.

The Wire (p.57) - "It's constructed around a series of more concise pieces, which present a steadily unfurling succession of musical settings and together these form an impressive body of work."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "In Warren Ellis they boast a lyrical bowman able to leap effortlessly from volatile double-stop rasp to soulful pizzicato pluck..." Dirty Three Cinder Songs | 1. | Ever Since |

Purchase Cinder CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Dirty Three She Has No Strings Apollo CD (2003)
Cinder
 $12.95  
Australian instrumental post-rock trio the Dirty Three greatly expand their sound from their familiar violin, guitar, and percussion lineup on the wide-ranging, cinematic SHE HAS NO STRINGS APOLLO. Violinist Warren Ellis, guitarist Mick Turner, and drummer Jim White incorporate piano, organ, bass and tape loops into these seven lengthy songs, creating a somber but inviting sound. As usual, Ellis is the trio's instrumental star, with his keening violin parts providing a sense of release over Turner and White's dark, minor-key dirges. Highlights include "No Stranger Than That," "She Has No Strings," and the unexpectedly aggressive closer "Rude (And Then Some Slight Return)."
The band's sixth studio album is marked by their signature sounds crashing together with remarkable power, fury, and beauty. ...
| | Iron & Wine Our Endless Numbered Days CD (2004)
Cinder
$11.99
Initial pressings of OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS comes with a 4-song bonus CD.
While Sam Beam's self-recorded first outing as Iron & Wine, THE CREEK DRANK THE CRADLE, features a hushed bedroom atmosphere, his second full-length album, OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS, invites listeners into a slightly larger living room. Here there's enough space for an outside producer (Brian Deck) and additional musicians (including Sam's sister Sara on harmony vocals). Though Beam's musical palette has broadened to occasionally include drums, bass, and various stringed instruments, the spare, Southern Gothic tone remains intact, thanks to his distinctive, whispered vocals and literate lyrics.
The album opener, "On Your Wings," slowly builds from acoustic- and slide-guitar lines before fading back into its own dreamy oblivion. On "Cinder and Smoke," Beam quietly observes that "the farmhouse is burning down" over a chanted backdrop, while "Free Until ...
| | Low Great Destroyer CD (2005)
Cinder
$11.55
Low's seventh full-length album, THE GREAT DESTROYER, marks a literal departure for the Duluth, Minnesota trio, with the band leaving its longtime label, Kranky, in favor of uber-indie taste-makers, Sub Pop. The overall sound of the record reflects the transition, as Low hits new heights in both volume and aggression, particularly on the fuzzed-out "Monkey" and the swelling "Everybody's Song." During "On the Edge Of" and "When I Go Deaf," guitarist Alan Sparhawk unleashes gloriously distorted Neil Young-worthy leads, while "Broadway (So Many People)" balances amped-up rock with the group's trademark hushed melodies.
Those looking for Low's renowned hypnotic "slowcore" sound will find it carefully mixed into different forms, with ...
| | Mogwai Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003 CD (2005)
Cinder
$10.15 
Although Mogwai's GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONS consists entirely of live-in-studio recordings, the collection also functions as an excellent retrospective for the Scottish post-rock band. With its non-chronological sequence of tracks from 1996-2003, the album reveals how remarkably consistent the group has remained while exploring various extremes of melody and noise. Bookended by two compositions from 2003's HAPPY SONGS FOR HAPPY PEOPLE (the futuristic lullaby "Hunted By a Freak" and the slowly building "Stop Coming to My House"), GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONS ranges from surprisingly serene tunes (a hushed rendition of "Cody") ...
| | Stereolab Fab Four Suture CD (2006)
Cinder
$9.75
Upon first listen, Stereolab's 2006 full-length outing, FAB FOUR SUTURE, sounds strikingly familiar, with burbling keyboards, prominent bass, precise rhythms, subtle guitar, and, of course, Laetitia Sadler's detached and heavily accented vocals all squarely in place. Repeated playing, however, reveals the album (originally issued as a series of singles) to be more than just a rehash of past glories; while certainly not reinventing the French/British indie-rock group's meticulously designed wheel, the disc works to its strengths. Parts 1and 2 of the droning "Kyberneticka Babicka" bookend the record, while the chiming "Get a Shot of the Refrigerator" stands out as one of ...
| | Yo La Tengo I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass CD (2006)
Cinder
$9.95
With 2006's cheekily titled I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU AND I WILL BEAT YOUR ASS, the beloved indie-rock trio Yo La Tengo presents a dynamic set of songs that echo the band's past, while notably downplaying the soporific atmospherics of preceding discs (the lauded AND THEN NOTHING and SUMMER SUN). The New Jersey-based group opens with "Pass the Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind," a feedback-drenched guitar workout anchored by pulsing, insistent rhythms, which is followed by the jaunty "Beanbag Chair," a charming pop ditty that percolates under Ira Kaplan and Georgia ...
| | Police Every Breath You Take: The Classics CD (1995) Remastered
Cinder
$10.45 
This is a DTS CD, which features DTS 5.1 Surround Sound technology and is playable on a DTS-capable 5.1 Surround Sound system.
Although frontman/bassist Sting wrote practically all the material, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland's contributions leave no doubt that this was a three-man effort. "Walking On The Moon" features Summers' reggae shadings and Copeland's precise percussive nuances, and their instrumental prowess turns a nonsensical title such as "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" into a quirky pop nugget. As for Sting's songwriting, most of it revolved around relationships and the different turns they take. Phases such as rapture ("Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"), manipulation ("Wrapped Around Your Finger," "Every ...

| | Veda Hille Return Of The Kildeer CD (2005) (Import) United Kingdom
Cinder
$13.95
Veda Hille presented a set of ethereal songs on Return of the Kildeer that aren't quite indie rock, lo-fi, or singer/songwriter material, though there are elements of each genre to be heard. Her voice and compositions (especially when they're piano-based) are somewhat in the confessional singer/songwriter tradition, albeit a little quirky. Yet there are also traces of a theatrical, cabaret-like art song sensibility in the whimsical airs to the lyrics, vocals, and arrangements (especially when they use a bit of orchestration). There's also a spare and spacious yet minimal feel to the music, even though quite a few instruments are used, including many that aren't exactly run-of-the-mill even for oddball indie CDs: bottles, bells, a washing machine, a clock, ...
