quote:
Motion, the debut album from DJ Jason Swinscoe's Cinematic Orchestra, is a future jazz classic. Each track perfectly marries mood and substance, mixing shuffling percussion and galloping drum breaks with chilled pianos, melancholy strings and live jazz horns. Heavy acoustic basslines mingle with samples of old blues singers and twinkly electric piano solos. It's a dark, late night brew that conjures up images of smoke-filled jazz clubs and dimly lit concert halls. But this is no exercise in jazz pastiche-­Swinscoe genuinely loves the genre, and it shows. On Motion, he never slips into pointless jazz noodling opting instead for rolling breakbeats, moody soundtrack sounds and deft horn touches. Consequently, Motion is a brilliant album of dark, soundtrack jazz that'll make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.--Matt Anniss


As Lontano knows I am not keen on too much brass in my jazz but this album falls just on the right side.

The Cinematic Orchestra are endlessly amazing, warped, inventive and intriguing.

I have a couple of albums by artists you mention but not the albums you have listed. Thanks for the prompt to investigate further...

Gordon I am still trying to listen to half of Jeff's postings. He keeps putting up albums/artists I haven't come across.

Somewhere in my brain I am a frustrated dj from years past who wanted to have a nighttime radio show and play new discoveries no one had heard of. As I have said previously, I enjoy the searching.

But the joy of this thread is we all share. I am currently eyeing the Darren Hayes that Steve (Paper Plane) is listening to. And he found that from someone else recommending it, which leads me to that person and their taste.

Everything I see posted here, that I am not familiar with, is investigated further, maybe not to purchase always, but to learn and find new paths.

My thanks to you all. And a deserved mention, along with the usual suspects here, is due infrequent posts on this thread by Gary Shaw and Mike Hughes, JWM, Bruce Woodhouse and so many others.

A lovely place this is.
