Australian instrumental trio the Dirty Three has been creating lush, epic soundscapes since the early 1990s. Comprising drummer Jim White, guitarist Mick Turner, and violinist Warren Ellis, the Dirty Three's dramatic sound is difficult to categorize--built on traditional folk melodies, while evocative of the more dynamic strains of underground rock, yet immediately compelling. HORSE STORIES (1996), the band's third full-length, is arguably its masterpiece. Warren Ellis's amplified violin careens from moments of spare tenderness to violent shards of melody, while Jim White follows directly behind with scattered, jazzy rhythms. On guitar, Mick Turner plays the role of both casual observer and musical anchor. A truly wonderful album, HORSE STORIES is the sound of a heartbroken drunk stumbling across town and country, a wordless lovers' quarrel, musical salvation with no guarantees for next time.

Recording information: Maison Rouge London (1996).

Personnel: Warren Ellis (vocals, violin); Andria Degens (vocals); Mick Turner (guitar, organ); Jim White (drums, percussion).

Audio Mixer: Paul Corkett.

Rolling Stone (1/23/97, p.44) - Ranked #3 on Rolling Stone's list of the "Ten Best Albums" of 1996.
Rolling Stone (10/31/96, p.70) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...The problem with a lot of the so-called post-rock bands...is that they just don't actually rock. Dirty Three rock....On their and best album so far, the...trio...moves through some of the grittiest, most mesmerizing music you'll hear this year..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/11/96, p.92) - "...Whether thrashing away furiously or playing late-night weepers, the Dirty Three create music of heartbreaking beauty and fire..." - Rating: A
Q (11/96, p.120) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...another collection of splendidly lurching, morning-after-the-nightmare-before instrumentals....Music, then, with all the pain and much of the redemptive virtue of the best hangovers. That good."
Uncut (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith feats of measured grace and startling tenderness..."
Alternative Press (2/97, p.59) - 5 (out of 5) - "...HORSE STORIES requires no words because each note conveys more pain, sadness and joy than most artists can muster in an entire album."
Option (11-12/96, p.101) - "...a hangover of music that reeks of enough pain, anger, hope and grace to fill a dozen pint glasses....explores the darkest of emotions with static, droning dirges and eruptions of whirling, thrashing tantrums..."
Melody Maker (12/21-28/96, pp.66-67) - Ranked #28 on Melody Maker's list of 1996's "Albums Of The Year."
Melody Maker (9/7/96, p.42) - Recommended - "Emotion. It always comes down to emotion..."
NME (Magazine) (9/7/96, p.46) - 7 (out of 10) - "...The Dirty Three evidently have no great designs on mainstream success, preferring instead to doggy paddle through huge puddles of booze, tears and muddy melancholia....thrillingly enough, they're more about a violin than a guitar..."

There have been many attempts to integrate instrumentation, other than the guitar, bass, and drums format, into so-called rock music. Many bands have gone through an Eastern or psychedelic phase, adding strings, tabla, or some other seemingly eccentric instrument to their sound. For the most part, bands like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and others make these new instruments sound out of place in a rock setting. But the Dirty Three -- an aptly-named Australian drum, guitar, and violin trio -- create an hour of music on this self-titled album that takes the experiments of their predecessors and coalesces them into a beautiful whole. Violinist Warren Ellis is a magician -- the sounds he coaxes out of the instrument range from conventional melody to washed-out feedback noise. On "Indian Love Song" Ellis starts off with a gentle plucking of the strings, but midway ...

CD $11.39  Audio Samples
This is an Enchanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Trumpeter and los Hombres Calientes co-founder Irvin Mayfield's third album for the Basin Street label is an ambitious suite of compositions written in honor of photographer Gordon Parks, whose works were placed on exhibit in the New Orleans Museum of Art in 2000. As might be expected, Mayfield's compositions tend towards the abstract and impressionistic, with moments that draw explicitly on various musical traditions of New Orleans (note especially the brass band and second-line flavors that permeate "Evening") and on the blues (note especially the wonderful "Blue Dawn ('Til the Morning)," which features a spectacular cameo appearance by Wynton Marsalis). The album's finest moment, though, ...

Swell Maps Trip To Marineville CD  (1979)

Horse Stories songs
CD $12.19  Audio Samples
Brothers Nikki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks started the Swell Maps in the early 1970s while in their teens. The band's chaotic mix of arty experimentalism, garage primitivism, and punk rock gumption established a template for the British DIY post-punk movement of the late '70s and early '80s. The band's 1979 debut, A TRIP TO MARINEVILLE, perfectly captures the band's two disparate yet strangely compatible elements. Songs such as "Spitfire Parade," "Another Song," and the rousing opener "H.S. Art" burn with youthful abandon and a glammy, knowingly primitive cool. Yet by "Don't Throw Ashtrays at Me" and "Bridge ...

This rare album from singer/pianist Tânia Maria, backed by bassist Hélio and drummer Boto, documents that in the mid-'70s, the swinging samba-jazz interpreter was already developed -- even if still closely emulating Elis Regina. The album opens with the heavy pounding of "Samba de Orly" (Vinícius de Moraes/Chico Buarque de Hollanda), and the same atmosphere follows with a Jorge Ben medley, giving room to the lyrical "Até Quem Sabe" (Lysias Enio/Joao Donato). "Abre Alas" traces very closely Elis Regina's take. Another Ben classic, "Fio Maravilha" (which was written in homage to the celebrated soccer player Fio, from Botafogo, who later sued Ben for using his name, which is the reason why this song is currently interpreted as "Filho Maravilha") restores that heavy swing. "Aguas de Março" ...
