Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0625978105924 Label: Ninja Tune Manufacturer: Ninja Tune MPN: 59 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Ninja Tune Release Date: May 28, 2002 Studio: Ninja Tune Editorial Review: Amazon.com: An old music-press adage claims that second albums are notoriously "difficult." If this were true, then Every Day should be one big disappointment. The fact that it's arguably one of 2002's finest jazz albums (yes, jazz--as in real, old-fashioned, clarinets-and-trumpets jazz) proves how talented Jason Swinscoe's Cinematic Orchestra are. Following up their impeccable debut, Motion, was going to be tough, but they've surpassed themselves here. While the former was a fusion of sample-culture smoky, backroom jazz, Every Day is jazz pure and simple--old jazz for the nu-jazz generation. "Man with the Movie Camera," "Burnout," and "Flite" are near-perfect soundtrack jazz pieces: epic, shuffling, ever shifting. "All That You Give" and "Evolution" highlight the enchanting vocals of legendary soul singer Fontella Bass. Best of all, though, is the Roots Manuva collaboration "All Things to All Men"--proof that jazz and rap aren't as strange bedfellows as some may think. It's spellbinding stuff and sure to be one of 2002's finer albums. --Matt Anniss Album Description: Third record on the Ninja Tune label featuring the vocals from the legendary Fontella Bass and a spoken word performance from Roots Manuva. Across 7 sweeping, dramatic tracks, the group takes you through classic soul, jazz, choral pieces, minimalism and more. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "EVERY DAY"...I LISTEN TO CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA!!!Ninja Tune's forte is obviously delivering jazz in various forms--Tobin's drill'n'bass spin, DJ Foods beatnik, sampledelic angle, Bonobo's lazy-Sunday grooves and the Cinematic Orchestra...well, what can I say?...these folks bring it to you a'la old school jazz, embellishing beautiful "cinematic orchestrations" with exceptional vocals from Fontella Bass and Roots Manuva and a very rarely heard instrument, the harp. Every track here will appeal to lovers of Coltrane, Davis and other jazz masters, ... Read More Rating:  - About 35 years too late.Admittedly, I thought "Motion" was an interesting little record, but a novelty at best. Real musicians playing electronic music constructed from old jazz samples. Fair enough. It sounded great driving around the city late at night, if nothing else. "Ascenseur pour l'echafaud" it was not, yet I could appreciate its mood and atmosphere. "Every Day" is a sad and curious record, and one that will be painfully obvious to to anyone with a even a cursory knowledge of jazz music. "Mastermind" ...

If you like listening to hip-hop that repeats on the radio every hour then you should look to the next Shakira album... Rating: - So good its ridiculous!!!I have never taken the time to post a review before... that was until The Cinematic Orchestra came into my life. I now own everything they have done and only wish I could see them live. If Coltrane was alive, young and contemporary... He would be doing stuff like this. "Motion" is the first and purest... but "Every Day" and "The Remixes" are just as good. Just get it. This is what music is supposed to sound like. Rating: - Where have they been for all of my life?Prior to my acquisition of this album, I had no idea as to who this group was. I was just starting to branch out with my musical tastes from 90's alternative rock, and the only jazz I knew of was Pat Metheny. I was standing in a record store killing time before my bus came to take me home, and the "Man with the Movie Camera" track was playing. I was frozen in the aisle; I must have looked like a fool, but I could have cared less. I was engrossed in the music. After it was over I immediately found ... Read More |
