Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	2ND 008CD

"Maybe the most impressive aspect of Giardini Di Mirò -- besides their rare gift for turning melancholy and beauty into audible jewels -- is their constant strife to shift their own sound's boundaries with each and every release. In this context The Academic Rise Of Falling Drifters sounds like a natural consequence. After broadening their musical base, inviting selected guests and collaborating with other artists, the italians have now trustingly passed their songs into other hands entirely. The metaphor might be over-used, but Giardini Di Mirò truly treat their songs like children and have carefully selected suitable foster parents for their musical offspring. As avid fans they had soon identified the perfect candidates for re-interpretations." Includes remixes by: Styrofoam, Herrmann & Kleine, Nitrada, Turner, Opiate, Dntel, Isan, Errorencountered.

Title:	Hits For Broken Hearts and Asses
Label:	2.ND REC (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	2ND 017CD

"Giardini di Mirò's 8-year band history is characterized by an urge for development and change. With each release, the Italians have moved on -- and forward. The past, especially their own, has never been important. Nevertheless, their upcoming Hits for Broken Hearts and Asses is not a brand new album, but a collection of earlier recordings. All Giardini di Mirò songs recorded and released before their debut long player Rise and Fall of Academic Drifting only ever saw the light in small and limited editions on a number of different labels in Italy, Germany and the States. There is only a tenuous link between the tracks assembled on Hits for Broken Hearts and Asses and the band's current sound. A lot has happened between the first demo and last year's Punk? not Diet!. The most glaring difference is probably the inclusion of vocals, already featured on two tracks of their debut album and almost ubiquitous on Punk? not Diet! (with only one purely instrumental track). In addition, electronic elements have joined the melee of Giardini di Mirò's music, as evinced by collaborations with Arne van Petegem (Styrofoam), Thaddeus Herrmann (Herrmann & Kleine) and Christophe Stoll (Nitrada) on their current album. Nevertheless all releases -- whether instrumental or with vocals, whether recorded with just two microphones or in a 24-track studio -- have one thing in common: their beautiful, melancholic melodies suffused by true heart's blood."
