Cinematic Orchestra: Man with

Thu May 22, 2003, 3:24 AM
Went to see Cinematic Orchestra live last night. Absolutely fantastic :) (Smile) Gush gush!
They did the live version of their soundtrack to the 1929 film "Man with a Movie Camera" by Dziga Vertov. This silent movie shows a day in the life of a city and its inhabitants. It really is a masterpiece, amazing camera angles and composition. Very interesting too, as it gives a pretty good view into what the 1920's soviet union was like.

Cinematic's contribution to Vertov's piece consists mainly of remixed versions of tracks from their "Every Day" album (a must have for modern Jazz/dance lovers in my opinion). With classics such as "All That You Give", "Burnout", "Evolution", "All Things To All Men", and of course "Man with a move camera", providing the soundtrack. My only gripe is that they didn't play "Flite"!

As a live band, I'd have to say they sound fantastic. Their drummer Luke Flowers is simply amazing. He gave an excellent performance, with marathon solo's. The rest of the band were very good, but were somewhat overshadowed by Flowers in my opinion. Thats no discredit to the others at, he's just a great drummer.

All in all, great experience. There's little I can do but gush about how fantastic it was really. :) (Smile)

I'd recommend seeing them, and listening to "Every Day". Great stuff.

I disagree with you so much! From what I think of the US, to my thoughts on the origin of life. You appear so ignorant and blind. I really don't understand why you don't see. But am too tired to send you a proper note.

Cheers,

AbraXus

And this matter how to me? Great, you don't agree with me. I will get over it someday. Hate me if you like and if it makes you feel better.

Glad you stopped by to leave me such useful and important information Roll Eyes

Now, you go and have yourself a good day, ya hear? Thumbs Up

Thanks very much for the comment on my picture! I'm pretty new so any comments are pretty much good comments.

You teacher sounds pretty - er - interesting too, mine is just a little on the different side. Crazy I read your journal on religion and you make a really good point.

:) (Smile) by the way the girl in the middle isn't touching herself :D (Big Grin) but it does kinda look that way doesn't it?

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

MLK.
