coelacanth:
i think both his solo albums had full instrumentation. |

Dean:
Heard today for the first time Cinematic Orchestra and, first impression, quite enjoyed it. Any opinions? | |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, and the two albums were released by Harvest, who were putting out albums by Pink Floyd and Deep Purple. Definitely Official, no scare quotes. |
![]() |
![]() There is a game called Samorost and the first one had a sample of Cinematic Orchestras music in it. I quite like Motion album. I didn't care for Ma Fleur and I don't know about Everyday. |

coelacanth:
yes. i don't know why i said "i think..." - i guess because i shamefully don't have either of those albums; but yeah, definitely full band. |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:09am
rw:
coelacanth, you should have both those albums. Shame on you. | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:09am
Pete L:
thanks i was thinking alot of it was more acoustic-ish, some of it is | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:09am
Dean:
Thanks, mauri. I think I was hearing Man with a Movie Camera, but I don't exactly remember. It was being played in a greeting card shop. It appears they really are a "cinematic" orchestra, doing soundtracks and games and such. | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:12am
rw:
Pete L, yes, it's a mixture. That particular track and maybe a couple others sound more full band-ish. There's a song about an octopus ride that's more full band-ish too. | |

![]() Basically, Pete, people really tried to get Barrett famous "when it mattered". Barrett wasn't cooperating, because (frankly) he was moving towards insanity. Read just Wikipedia on Syd Barrett; it's revealing. |

coelacanth:
that's what i've read too. a lot of the acoustic stuff we have access to today is unfinished songs or demos because he was so frustrating to work with. |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:22am
Dean:
Brand and Ibrahim together?! This is one beautiful recording. | |
![]() |
![]() Wow, this is not what I expect from Dollar Brand / Abdullah Ibrahim. Maybe I should try more of bed band / orchestra from him. |
![]() |
![]() "bed band"? That's an . . . interesting spellcheck. |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:28am
Nick Name:
hello all - thx for checking in - hope you are all doing well | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:29am
Pete L:
Dollar Brand a/k/a Abdullah Ibrahim did a bit of "out" stuff before the later stuff which tended to be quite lyrical - love that guy hard to go wrong | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:34am
Pete L:
Ibrahim also did a score for a film called "No Fear No Die" the soundtrack album is excellent | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:37am
Dean:
"Easter Joy" brings to mind Handel's "Messiah." You know, "Hallelujah..." | |

![]() Use of a Dog! Awesome! |
![]() |
![]() Song of the Bailing Man on the first CD left off "Use of a Dog". I was dismayed! But the recent one restored it. Yay! |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:53am
rw:
Wasn't Song of the Bailing Man kind of short? I remember it as more of an EP. What's the use of editing a song like that? There should have been plenty of room on the CD. | |
Fri. 6/3/16 1:58am
rw:
Huh, I just looked it up and Song of the Bailing Man is a regular length album. Still could have fit easily onto a CD though. | |
![]() |
![]() Yep. It was mysterious |
![]() |
![]() Nick, you played "Use of a Dog", not "The Long Walk Home" |
