Mix one part Massive Attack, one part the Doors, sprinkle liberally with noise and orchestrals, and serve with whiskey. The second album from Hollywood industrial project THE 3RD intuitively navigates across electronic genres.

notes
Jonathan Liber (the 3rd) has been a professional musician for years, and has played with various national and world touring acts as well as having experience in movie scores.
In February 2004, 'the 3rd' offers us "sounds and silence" (2004, Fraction Records); an allegorical exploration of abandoned truths, duplicity, and regeneration. Intuitively navigating a labyrinth of genres- from the unrelenting brutality of 'Fuckstick' to the rollicking, immense beats of 'Flakebus'- "sounds and silence" bridges the waters of post-industrial electronica. Jonathan; no mere 'button-pusher', becomes the architect of Babel, generating a pandemonium of aural strains. Not always transparent, he postulates on the deconstruction and rebirth of the self- the destruction of the ego- and demonstrates the trancendent ability to personify one's art. This is readily apparent to those fortunate enough to have experienced any of his numerous live performances; more ritual than showcase, that feature a revolving roster of guest musicians, dancers and performance artists.
Whatever the embodiment, Jonathan's purpose is clear. As a musical medium, he holds up a mirror into which we might see the true reflection of our selves; he flips that 'light switch' that we all might drag our skeletons out of the closet to dance with us.

Brillant!
author: Alicia BarronThe 3rd's album rocks! It is a good CD because it offers a variety of songs that catagorize themselves into different genres of music- such as dance, techno, ballads and what not. This CD is great for true music lovers who know true talent when they hear it.
