it's an hour long, and in Dutch, I believe (at least during the narrator's part), but interesting.

Methinks my dial up would cause trouble here. :(

But thanks for always thinking of me and making me feel special with my own threads, Dana!

Love "The Frames"...

Try and see them soon, as they tour with their new CD release, "Burn the Maps". Tour dates are listed here, www.theframes.ie

The wife and I are seeing them in Chicago on March 5th at the Metro.

I noticed that today. I was going to reply with a "yay" comment, but forgot. So I'll do it here.

Shall I continue with the plan? Review from Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

The Frames: "Burn the Maps"

Published on: 02/08/2005

If it weren't for the staying power of U2, the Frames might be Ireland's greatest living rock band.

But, since Bono and the boys continue to make fine records after a quarter-century, thus refusing to abdicate, the Frames have to settle for being the heir apparent.

ROCK
• The Frames
"Burn the Maps." Anti-. 12 tracks.
Grade: A-

That doesn't mean U2 and the Frames have a whole lot in common musically. The Frames can get as self-consciously anthemic as their older countrymen (and blustery American bands like the Smashing Pumpkins or the Pixies), something that's even more in evidence here than on their earlier albums. But it's still the little things that make the Frames special.

Little of "Burn the Maps," the quartet's fifth and finest studio album, reaches out and grabs the ear immediately. There are fewer massive hooks, and many delicate barbs of gold that work their magic slowly and with more lasting appeal. "Burn the Maps" is loaded with time-released touches of goosebump-inducing beauty: the ghostly wordless mass of backing vocals on "Happy," the crush of barbed-wire guitars that makes the chorus of "A Caution to the Birds" sound like Neil Young jamming with "The Bends"-era Radiohead.

The band has mastered the soft verse/big chorus dynamic and the slow build. A quiet intensity escalates throughout "Sideways Down" until it's draped with perfectly placed strings before fading back to the doubled-up vocal and insistent bass buzz that began the track.

"Burn the Maps" is a moody and melancholy companion, and one that doesn't give up all it's secrets on the first date. Give it a few spins and it soon becomes an endlessly fascinating piece of work that just might earn your eternal devotion.
