Free Music Notes for Swell Season (Dig)
Free Music Review: More than "once"
Hit: 4 Stars
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova make a real-life ending to the movie "once" with its satisfying but unresolved ending. They do the songs they liked, tart them up with excellent production values and add a few other tunes. Has a quieter, shinier feel than the movie soundtrack, sometimes a bit draggy. It almost comes out whole, but being part of a movie soundtrack and the rest added, it has a "parts of the sum" feeling. There are definitely some great tracks here if you want to just pick and choose. I wonder what's next for these two?Free Music Review: Oscar winners!
Hit: 4 Stars
This album has many of the songs from the wonderful movie Once, including the Oscar winning Falling Slowly. Finally great indie artists are recognized and awarded this great honor, and deservedly so! This is a fantastic album filled with so much emotion. Standout tracks: Falling Slowly, Sleeping, When Your Minds Made Up, Leave.
Buy this album, see the movie Once, explore more of Glen's work with The Frames (For The Birds is also an excellent album).
Free Music Review: Not the 5 stars everyone was writing about but still good
Hit: 4 Stars
There are still some great songs in here but some louder singing in a couple songs seem to break up and not mesh entirely well with what I would otherwise definitely call a beautiful hamonious work/effort. The strings and voices balance well in all the other songs that I would play during a nice dinner party (except during the louder couple of songs).Free Music Review: great CD
Hit: 4 Stars
I got interested in Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova after seeing "Once" at the theater. I purchased the soundtrack and really liked it. The Swell Season features more of their creativity. They harmonize beautifully. Some of the songs are the same as the soundtrack but for me, it does not take away. I hope they make more CDs together.Free Music Review: Good addition to "Once" cd
Hit: 4 Stars
After seeing "Once", I immediately purchased the soundtrack. Soon I discovered this cd - it has some of the same tracks with slightly different arrangements and I enjoyed the other tracks immensely. If you liked "Once", you'll like this cd - there's a couple of tracks that just rip your heart out.
