Dirty Three - She Has No Strings Apollo

This CD is perhaps the hardest CD I've had to review, I can't really pick a standout because all the tracks segue into each other. I must state at this time that I've (shock horror) never heard a Dirty Three CD before so I wasn't really prepared, but what I've stumbled upon here is the perfect soundtrack to a moody day, and half of that seems dictated by the music.

Seemingly, many of the tracks (movements?) are in minor keys and are used to perfection, the interaction between the bands members is spectacular.

I can't say that I've ever heard anything like this before. For that reason, I've gotta cop out on this review and say that I can't tell you whether I like this or not, I'll have to wait for a year before I know! So have a listen, and make up your own mind... It's intense, if nothing else.
