My all-time favourite instrumental album
7 Dec 2001
Format:Audio CD
Only a lucky few will have heard of this Australian phenomenon so if your reading this, consider yourself blessed and don't delay in securing yourself a copy of this incredible album. The Dirty Three is a ground-breaking instrumental group consisting mostly of violin, guitar and drums. Their music is haunting, melancholy and brooding. 'Horse Stories' is their most intense album. The tracks typically start out slow and melancholy and build up into an intense frenzy of the wildest most emotional violin playing you ever heard. Nick Cave fans may be familiar with this band as Warren Ellis has plays with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and the Dirty Three have supported them on tour. All of their albums are brilliant and worth owning but if I had to pick my favorite, it would be Horse Stories.
(By the way, don't let the review below where thy are equated to the Grateful Dead put you off. As far as I'm concerned, that's complete nonsense, Dirty Three sound nothing like the Grateful Dead. I cannot stand the Greatful Dead but Dirty Three have become one of my favorite bands.)
And finally, if you ever get a chance to see them live, DON'T MISS IT! It's a truly unique experience.

The Best
10 Oct 1999
Format:Audio CD
This album means more to me than I can probably express. For a long time I preferred it over Ocean Songs, but then I realized that the concept behind the albums are different; Horse Stories is oriented towards each song, while Ocean Songs is only able to be comprehended as an entire album. (To this day, I still don't remember the names of the songs in the middle...) In any case, Horse Stories is incredible... each song is poingant and touching... from Hope's message of pain and redemption, to Sue's Last Ride, a story about suicide. Listen, absorb.

the power of dirty three
31 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
This is my first Dirty three recording and I am enchanted by the melodies Dirty three bring out. There is alot of communication between these three and they have a very gentle way of bring there music to a climatic state of bliss. I am a huge Mogwai fan and I am glad I found the Dirty three.I feel they have A greater understanding of the true spirit of music. If you like soft guitar melodies, tight drumming, and hypnotic violin playing this is for you.
