Cinematic Orchestra AB-CD Highlight From 2002 Every Day ... "At a time when the chill out thing substitutes blandness for maturity, when so called 'nu-jazz' groups loop up some flutes with a boring beat and have the nerve to call it jazz, and electronic music seems to be searching for its dummy again, J. Swinscoe's Cinematic Orchestra return to blow away all your expectations. Back in 1999, the group's debut record Motion set critical tongues wagging with its unique take on modern electronic music production techniques and the sheer visual energy of its sound. Now the group return with a follow-up which is deeper than the ocean, packing a tremendous emotional punch, by turns mournful and celebratory and with a rigour that is so often lacking in contemporary cut and paste. Across seven sweeping, dramatic tracks, the group take you through classic soul, jazz, choral pieces, sinking horn riffs, throbbing harp b-lines, minimalism and more. All imbued with a contemporary edge and an intellect that keeps things as far as possible from lazy wallpaper wank. And with guests of the caliber of Fontella Bass (the writer and performer of '60s soul masterpiece 'Rescue Me' and sometime performer with jazz renegades the Art Ensemble of Chicago) and Roots Manuva (whose contribution to 'All Things To All Men' involves the kind of lyrics that stay in your head for weeks)... you know that you're in for something special."
