Synopsis

Album Description

The much-anticipated & imminent arrival for the 1st time of the Live UNKLE experience at BIG DAY OUT 2008 and the special shows in each state from the World-renowned UNKLE, brings an Australian exclusive release - 'More Stories'. More Stories' continues under the creative core of JAMES LAVELLE & RICHARD FILE, alongside the production of CHRIS GOSS (QOTSA) + PABLO CLEMENTS & T BONE BURNETT. The tracks 'Kaned & Able', 'Heaven', 'Blade In The Back' and 'Synthetic Water' are songs from the soundtrack UNKLE did for the film 'Odyssey In Rome' (ABEL FERRARA, JULIETTE BINOCHE, MATTHEW MODINE & FORREST WHITAKER). 'Blade In The Back' was played live at their first London gig under a different name called 'Swampy'. The poignant vocals are maintained from IAN ASTBURY (THE CULT) on 'Burn My Shadow' remixed by RADIO SLAVE, plus 'Hold My Hand' from JAMES LAVELLE/RICHARD FILE remixed by DUBFIRE, as well as new offerings from AUTOLUX, GAVIN CLARK (CLAYHILL) and JAMES + AIDEN LAVELLE. The album has it all . all with an even more cinematic impact!

CD Reviews

Worth It

MassiveAttack | New Orleans | 06/07/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you can find this, it is absolutely worth the outlay of cash. I will second the initial reviewer's comment about disc 2; it's fairly worthless as it's music you already know with the vocals dropped out. That said, disc 1 is astounding, and I'd pay $29 for track 2, "Heaven" alone. It's ethereal, gorgeous and unnerving all at the same time. The following few tracks have a distinct War Stories feel ("rock" influence, so to speak). From track 8 and out it's a mid-tempo 4/4 electronic record with much more sonic impact than most. This is really some amazing stuff, and I never get tired of listening to it. And again, track 2 is one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard from anyone, not just the collaboration that is UNKLE."

Expensive, but great music.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Recommended if you like the War Stories album. It's WAY overpriced though-- the second disc is worthless as it's only instrumentals of War Stories, but disk 1 is great. Again, it's overpriced, so only get this if you have the other Unkle releases."
