Product Description
The Limited Deluxe Version includes a bonus live 14 track concert CD and "One Step Away - Live from the Riverside Theater, Milwaukee, WI. May 8, 2008" DVD
The Swell Season are Glen Hansard (from the Irish band the Frames) and Marketa Irglova (classically trained Czech pianist and vocalist). In 2007, Once, a film about two people meeting and falling in love on the streets of Dublin, became an indie phenomenon, as audiences everywhere responded to the unassuming charm of the two leads, Glen and Marketa, and the beautiful music they made together. On the way to going gold, the Once soundtrack brought the Swell Season onto the stage of the Academy Awards, where the band won the Best Original Song award.
Album Description
Limited CD/DVD edition includes bonus DVD. 2009 album from this duo consisting of Glen Hansard (leader of The Frames) and Czech singer Marketa Irglova. They were the stars of the movie Once, and in their musical guise generated a wave of acclaim worldwide during the 2008 awards season garnering two Grammy nominations and an Oscar win for Best Original Song for the hit single 'Falling Slowly'. The duo performed the song on the Oscars telecast (and a host of key TV shows around the world) and Irglova provided one of the most memorable and poignant moments of the evening when host Jon Stewart called her back to the stage after a commercial break to give her acceptance speech. Strict Joy is the follow-up to their self-titled debut. The 12 new, original songs on Strict Joy were recorded last year and document a time of great change, tumult and progression.

 A "Live" Band November 4, 2009
int_53185 (wisconsin)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The cd simply doesnt do the band justice. They are something to be experienced "live". I just saw them in MIlwaukee on Nov. 1st. They were nothing short of spectacular. Of all the live shows I've seen,(I've seen my share), Iwould say that this ranks as the best. You have to experience the power of Glen's voice, and the subtleness of Mar's for yourself. A lot is lost in the translation to cd. I was especially touched when Mar started play "O Holy Night" on the piano, and then singing about half the song through with her incredible voice. The Frames are simply fantastic. The bass shook your bones, the drumming was spot on for the music, the violin solos masterful. Glen is the John Lennon of our generation. His songwriting talent, guitar mastery, vocal talent, and presence remind me very much of him. He has that who gives a ***k attitude. Someone interrupted him when he was talking, and he got very mad! He's a man who loves his music and won't take anycrap from nobody. You have to admire him for that. I enjoyed the fact that both the live cd and dvd were recorded in MIlw. at The Riverside. Marketa commented on how lovely a city Milwaukee was. She even woke early in order to walk by the river and Lake Michigan. These 2 belong together. And this cd clearly shows that.
worth it for the bonus CD November 10, 2009

Live is such a difference experience, get this with the bonus CD, its well worth it. I haven't gotten to the DVD or 3 disc. And truthfully, I haven't even listened to the entire strict joy CD. Just the bonus, I love it live. It is a shame it doesn't contain the full 20 song set, but its still worth it if only for the version of 'What happens when the heart just stops'
Wonderful new album November 10, 2009

Love the new album! This "limited deluxe version" is a great deal and I'm thrilled with it.
Must buy for any Swell Season fan.
Listening really is a joy !! November 30, 2009

Hansard and Irglova have magic voices-separate or together. I love the lyrics and the music and enjoy the sound with the Frames added into the mix. The live CD and DVD are simply wonderful. One of my favorite Frames songs is "Fitzcarraldo" and am thrilled to have it on the live recording-very exciting piece of music (the story behind it is, also, very interesting). A great value on every level.
