The Cinematic Orchestra

1️⃣2️⃣

🎵 Manhatta (2012)
⏱️ 11:13

Another score, this time to accompany a 1921 short film of the same name, almost but not quite the name with which we are all familiar. Contemporary classical, majestic and yes, cinematic 😊

I haven’t ranked my list of fifteen, but Crimson Skies would have been 🥈

The Cinematic Orchestra

1️⃣1️⃣

🎵 Crimson Skies
💿 The Crimson Wing: Mystery Of The Flamingos (2008)

Instrumental OST until the last song. Lou Rhodes’ voice is like sunlight breaking through the clouds. As graceful as the creatures that it portrays 🦩

Day 🔟

🎵 Time And Space
⏱️ 8:43
💿 Ma Fleur (2007)

Last track on the album, and it captures the spirit perfectly. First of two in a row in my list feat. the voice of Lou Rhodes, once one half of Lamb.

Oh, that’s brilliant, Vincent! Have you seen Nerina before? We saw her in a pub in Oxford on this tour for the umpteenth time. One of our favourite artists and there’s always plenty of great banter from her on stage 😆 Look out for her new covers CD on the merch stand - only available at tour venues.
I’m not familiar with Julie Byrne, Phil. I’ve looked her up and her music could be right up my street. Great to see so much variety in the reposts 🎵
Name ten current female artists you love 🎵

In no particular order ⬇️

Nerina Pallot
Bess Atwell
Katie Spencer
JJ Lovegrove
Rumer
boci
Nadia Reid
Jenn Wasner
Jenn Butterworth
Faye O’Rourke

Thanks @philk282.bsky.social for the prompt. I could find another ten artists whose music I enjoy just as much!

Day 9️⃣

🎵 Child Song

Ma Fleur (2007) features more times (4) than any album in my list. The vinyl too is beautifully presented in a box with 11 photo cards, one for each track ☺️

Yes it did, Ricky 😊 One play so far. Will put it on again over my morning coffee. I’ll report back!
A bumper delivery - A Bridge To Far and The World Under Unsun! As you know, the latter is very long, so I’ve only been able to listen to both, once 😂
First impression of Midlake - beautiful from the start. Side one is the band on top form. I need to actively listen to all of it again myself though 😊
It will sound just as good!
Look what’s #NowPlaying here Mary!

Thank you for your ace recommendation - I would never have known about it 🙏🏻
That’s great to hear, Ricky. FC were a one-album band and the red vinyl is something of a rarity. Well done for finding yours!
Isn’t it just! Thank you. The song that drew me into their music in the first place 😊
It’s due to be delivered by 9:40 am, Ricky! I’m stood by the front window, looking for Royal Mail 😂 How about you?

Day 8️⃣

🎵 Familiar Ground

Second of four from Ma Fleur (2007) in my list, and the last of a trio of songs featuring the voice of legendary R&B artist, Fontella Bass 😊

It’s a very sad song, beautiful nonetheless ☺️
Fossil Collective is a shoo-in for my #5DebutAlbums1014

As well as Bon Iver & Fleet Foxes, I can join the dots between this Leeds duo and Midlake. So on the day that the Texans release their new LP, no better time to put forward Tell Where I Lie for your consideration 😊

💿 Tide (2014)
🎤 Wooden Arms

Gorgeous mini-album from a UK folk-classical five-piece which would make one further LP. Serious top five contender 😊

Founder Alexander Carson continues to make great music.

🎵 Vicenarian, Noah, False Start

I nominate Rakim! (My rap collection is very much last century 😊)
What’s your verdict, Mary? My record is coming tomorrow, and I’m going to wait until then to listen to it all!
Is Q-Tip your favourite rap artist, Ryan? He’s right up there amongst mine 😊

Day 7️⃣

🎵 To Build A Home
⏱️ 6:10

The 2007 Ma Fleur LP is where I discovered The Cinematic Orchestra.

Featuring Patrick Watson. The choice of guest vocalist continually elevates the music.

Beautiful video. My list isn’t ranked but this would be 🥉

Day 6️⃣

🎵 Reel Life (Evolution II)
⏱️ 6:58
💿 Man With A Movie Camera

More downtempo jazz from the group’s 2003 soundtrack album. Again, the percussion on this track is the hook 🥁
