The esoteric wistfulness of Australian instrumentalists Dirty Three once again shines on She Has No Strings Apollo, though something's changed for the trio. Here their melancholic sensibilities aren't subjected to chaotic outbursts, as in the past. Anchored by drummer Jim White's jazzy shuffles, violinist Warren Ellis plays sad melodies while Mick Turner's rootless guitar splashes color the edges. Though less dynamically extreme and of a folksier disposition than Slint or Mogwai, D3 have a similar ability to accelerate from 0 to 11 in the course of a song. Selections like "She Has No Strings" exhibit a deliberate minimalism akin to Low (with whom they collaborated on 1999's excellent In the Fishtank), only to dissolve into a bramble of string-driven noise. Still, the grand cacophony of Ocean Songs isn't as prominent, with a few exceptions--notably White's explosion at the end of "Sister Let Them Try and Follow." Few bands, however, make slowing down sound this risky. --Matthew Cooke

Album Description

The band's sixth studio album is marked by their signature sounds crashing together with remarkable power, fury, and beauty. Subtle touches of piano and the addition of bass guitar (a first) work beautifully behind the shimmering melodies of violin, ethereal guitar, and tidal drumming. It's that rare brand of music that's raw, pure, expressive, and untainted by artifice. Touch & Go Records. 2003.

3 out of 5 stars A Slight Slip.......2003-10-05

There are a couple of wonderful tracks on this one. She Has No Strings is a whirling and tremendously powerful piece and the aptly titled Long Way To GO With No Punch is a truly beautiful piece that could roll and roll for hours without tiring the listener. But somehow the magic of Whatever You Love You Are and Ocean Songs, and even their rawer early effort Horse Stories, has deserted this record. Perhaps there is too much reliance on minimalist techniques of repetition - the music never seems to find those secret and entirely unexpected places that make the aforementioned records unique. They performed a big tour on the back of this one so perhaps there was a tendency to find music that would sound big on stage, thus the subtlety and complexity of arrangements on, say, Whatever You Love You Are has necessarily gone missing. I don't know. I only know that the Dirty Three are one of the very few makers of music in this world who matter and we who love them cannot help but expect much.

4 out of 5 stars Swirling, lovely.......2003-07-24

I'm having a hard time getting this out of my cd rotation. "She Has No Strings" is about the most compelling violin music I've ever heard. The sound violinist Warren Ellis produces is so, so sad. Aching, sorrowful. Guitarist Mick Turner's guitar companion piece, which near the end overtakes the violin, cries for release. At the end, both violin and guitar are weeping. Jim White's drumming on this is almost militaristic, but perfect for keeping everything tightly together.

This was my first exposure to Dirty Three and I have to say, I like what I hear. Rich, emotive storytelling music without the words. Try it.

3 out of 5 stars OK, but not their best.......2003-07-07

This album started off strong with the first song, but then it started to drag and drag for a bit, I'm usually very patient with bands like the Dirty Three and their albums, but this one seemed a bit mediocre, atleast for their standards. Go buy 'Horse Stories' or 'Ocean Songs' instead of this and see them live if you can, they are great.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful.......2003-02-22

The first time I listened to this cd I thought it was unimaginative and tedious but all it took was a second listen to realize it may be the best thing they've done so far. The title track in particular is amazing. I am a courier at night and this cd never left the player for the whole 8 hours of my shift. My only gripe is that it didn't have more songs on it. A band should be forbidden from releasing two 7 song albums in a row but this one is so good i'll forgive them.

4 out of 5 stars WEEE HOOOO!.......2003-02-21

I think that this is the best thing that they have done. Thats not easy to do.

    5 out of 5 stars Delightful - why was this music so underrated?.......1999-03-15

    Conductor Peter Holman has done a tremendous service to English baroque music by researching, restoring, staging and recording some of the half-forgotten masterpieces by English composers of the 16th and 17th centuries. This disc is a collection of excerpts from compositions issued on other discs in the English Orpheus series. It's always good to have a collection as a way of introducing people to what's out there. Yet, if you can afford it, buy at least some of the complete volumes in this series. I would particularly recommend Dibdin's Ephesian Matron (the CD also contains two shorter works by the same composer); and Lampe's Pyramus & Thisbe.
