   Summary: Radiohead-esque brilliance before O.K Computers' time
When the likes of Radiohead, REM et al produce this kind of stuff, they end up being celebrated as superstars. When The Frames do so, they nearly break up. This album is simply brilliant. With every track being a complex, melodic and, at times, throat lump-inducing marvel. Standouts include 'Say it to me now', 'Angel at my table' and the tiltle track. Buy it, be patient with it and treasure. Avoid their debut though

   Summary: All classics from an impeccable band
I wish this band and particularly this album got more coverage. Beautiful songs like Red Chord, Giving It All Away and the title song soar ,while other songs like Monument and Roger kick butt. On a scale of 1 - 10 , I would have to give an 11. Cliched, I know, but thoroughly deserved. If you get a chance to see 'em live, DO it. You'll love it!!!

   Summary: outspan-ding
Glen Hansard,sadly may be more recognisable to many as outspan foster from" the commitments".This shouldn't be as the Alan Parker film is not his finest moment, brillant and all that it was. Glen's crowning glory to date has to be "fitzcarraldo".The album named after Werner Herzog's film of the same name.The album if you forgive the pun is truly outspanding.I think it's the best album by an Irish band ever.stand out tracks include "revelate","fitzcarraldo","say it to me now"and "monument",however the finest moment on the album has to be the closing track "your face".The album was remixed and sadly lost some of the live feel of the original.however they did drop "Roger" for "evergreen" and gave "your face"a track of it's own,it had being a hidden track on the original.so now it's finest moment is more accessible ! This is a truly excellent album.

   Summary: A live sound of harmony that will shiver your spine
The first time I heard of this band was during rag week (a week devoted drunken students !)in Galway, Ireland, 1995. I was so impressed by their performance that i went and bought their album, Fitzcarraldo. The original album consists of 10 songs, and it was later remixed by Trevor Horn. Unfortunately, in my view, he made a total mess of the most of the album, as only a few songs were played with. The live sound of the original was lost. To appreciate the quality of the Frames d.c. one would have to see them live as they are one of the best I have ever seen. Allthough they are not known outside Ireland, they do deserve much more awareness.

They were a six piece band (now five after Noreen, the back-up singer quited). Rhythym, lead guitars, bass, drums and an excellent violinist who can create sounds one has never heard before. The harmonics explode from your stereo system when played especially songs like Fitzcarraldo, revelate, say it to me now, red chord, angel at my table and a extremely pleasant and relaxing fade-away hidden track, your face.

I would recomend this album to any music lovers as it experiments with many sounds. From loud punky (not extreme)celtic rock to very relaxing acoustic melodies.

One may recognise the lead singer, Glen Hansard, who was "Outspan" in the blockbuster musical the Commitments. The ex bass player is the son of the Drummer from Thin Lizzy. So there is alot of talent there.

Check it out yourself anyway. I garantee you won't be dissapointed. If possible try and get the original album (has a blue cover) but I don't know if one can order it anymore. You can check out their web site, just do a search on the frames d.c.

If you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Hope you enjoy - Greg
