Rated 4/5

The problem with concept albums is that, while the concept is sometimes interesting, the end result usually is not. That’s not the case with Man With a Movie Camera, the Cinematic Orchestra’s new soundtrack to the silent film by Dziga Vertov of the same name, but if there’s a weakness to this album, it’s one that plagues most soundtracks: that without the images to inform the music, the music alone feels aimless. And given that the Cinematic Orchestra is best with longer pieces of music, the tracks here sound truncated. That’s a pity, because there are some gorgeous themes (“Dawn,” “Reel Life” and “Drunken Tune”) that feel undeveloped. There are some reprises from Everyday on here, including “The Awakening of a Woman” (a mellow version of “Burnout”), but my suggestion is: put on the movie and start this album simultaneously. It works wonders.
Rated 5/5

Lets take it to the next level... is probably what Swinscoe said after they finished with "Everyday". Perfectly produced, this soundtrack is the omnibus for Cinematic aficionados. PC has certainly merged with the band well adding an inspiring flavour with his signature electronic jazz moves and musical story telling abilities. Cinematic Orchestra have aged like a fine stout becoming bolder and wiser with every album... well done boys. F Zebra
