An apt band name in *The Cinematic Orchestra*. They wrote a soundtrack to the film *+Man with a Movie Camera+* (many of these songs then reworked for the album *Everyday*); but it's their music, more than a lot of other bands, that paints a cinematic picture for me. It's landscapes lush, cityscapes crackling, it's deserts dry & characters are always welcome ;) On Saturday, as the sun was rea...

This is the only place I have found this track online, and now courtesy of the new MOG partnership, I can share it with you. Brit remixing brits here, I believe that Ciphermedia may have posted the original track a few months back.

About all I could do to respond to that really, was to agree! I've got a list of bands I want to write posts on, and they were pretty near the top, so I promised to get one out. Here is!The Cinematic Orchestra are a British-based j

Those multicolored raindrops actually hit my skin ; that voice from the disembodied head resonated in my ears; the lace-light arcing tunnels blurred as I moved through them at great speed; and that heavy sensation of gravity (pulling me down in darkness into transition with the others) was as real as what you feel when your airplane suddenly drops due to turbulence.

I bought the Cinematic Orchestra's "Every Day" over two years ago and I can't stop listening to this any more than I could stop breathing. Fontella Bass vocals on the opening track "All That You Give"... it'll give you goose bumps, Roots Manuva on "All Things To All Men"... outstanding, his finest moment? Jazz never sounded so good!

The Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur: Live At The Barbican [2007]Their most recent album Ma Fleur may have moved them at times a little closer to the mainstream, but this is a timely reminder of their ability to appeal to both the chillout crowd and those who hanker after more intense, improvisatory material.This is found in the wonderful sax work from Tom Chant in the Man With A Movie Camera and...
