The Cinematic Orchestra

[neonplanet40]

So I happened to come across them when looking at a random video on YouTube about NASA spending cuts.

They completed a soundtrack for Disney's The Crimson Wing: Mystery Of The Flamingos and it is excellent. Especially 'Arrival of the birds' and 'Transformation'.

However I was listening to a lot of their other music and none of it sounds remotely related. Which means I didn't like it

Is there any other music out which is similar to The Crimson Wing: Mystery Of The Flamingos? It is always nice to come across new music, I have been getting very bored of my collection lately.

Thanks

Brought the album a few weeks back due to the same reason

Cracking album, some great chillout tracks.

Have you found anything similar to this?

Anyone else?

I am really enjoying it! Transformation is a powerful song.

maybe you should look into neo classical or even some of the dark cabaret stuff.

I dont listen to it much myself so couldnt really say much, the closest I get is more tribal or minimal , there aint much in between with me , relatively speaking...

You might like some of the more ethnic stuff too , its hard 2 say - sometimes certain groups get painted as being more 1 dimensional than they are through sterotypes.

Heres just some stuff i like.

Ahhh... Cinematic Orchestra.. you want the later stuff, not their early Jazz stuff, you want Ma Fleur - classic album and an amazing guest vocal from Lou Rhodes on the last track ... sheer bliss...

Music I tend to listen to when i'm in a Cinematic Orchestra mood are...
Lunz - amazing chillout album
Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People
Godspeed You Black Emperor - East Hastings is the track from 28 days later when he wakes up to a deserted London
Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs

Im surprised you never mentioned this , given your name.

more ethnic , but still worth listening to ( esp as a film )

There's more mainstream stuff, like
Ludivicio Einaudi - done to death thanks to Top Gear
Tim Story - one half of Lunz (the more electronic half) has done a few albums
Craig Armstrong - genius but again done to death
Sigur Rós
but i'm sure you knew all those anyway...

But that's getting all a bit ambient and sleep inducing, couple of wild cards...

Archive - as they were 10 years ago - as they are now two very different bands

I love 'All Things to All Men' by Cinematic Orchestra - beautiful tune

Interesting thread. One I can add is Mike Oldfiields take on the Arthur C Clark book songs of Distant Earth.
