Warren Ellis, Mick Turner and Jim White comprise the Dirty Three. As separate entities they have created and contributed to a number of noteworthy musical endeavors, but together they are a single monolith of musical genius. Stirring, introspective, electric, heartfelt, impassioned and fucking mind bending. Ocean Songs is their fourth full length and was released in 1998. Like the ocean which inspires it, it is brimming with ceaseless energy. It's probably their greatest work, but I may only be saying that because it is playing right now. Put on any of their other albums and I may just switch my vote.
Two notes:
------The cover artwork, as with most of their albums,
was created by Mr. Mick Turner.
------"Authentic Celestial Music" may just be the most appropriately titled song ever penned.
