Man With a Movie Camera Gatefold, Limited Edition
9 Reviews
Great soundscape, that makes a great companion to A Man With a Movie Camera, but also to a lot of other great silent era cinema. But its an album that seems to really relly on visual conterpart to be at its best, since without it it easily falls into predictable downtempo music.

This soundtrack works quite well when put into context. By that I mean in the experimental film Человек с киноаппаратом [Man With a Movie Camera]. With it The Cinematic Orchestra certainly were able to make the film much more enjoyable to watch (excluding the stylistic significance of the film). The soundtrack alone, without the dazzling images and experimentation though may be a bit thin on replay value without the film.
But The Cinematic Orchestra still were able to make good music and indeed some songs, like the melancholic 'Dawn' and the active 'The Awakening of a Woman (Burnout)' are great.
While others like the soothing intro, to the energetic drum beats of 'Reel Life (Evolution)'. 'Evolution (Versao Portuense)' is unfortunately underwhelming in composition. 'Work It! (Man With a Movie Camera)' is a fantastic mixture of electronic beats and jazz performance.
Perhaps the most accessible song 'Theme De Yoyo' features danceable beats that are quite entertaining. Possibly the best song is 'All Things', helps with the climax of the entire album, by using a suspenseful performance.
Man with a Movie Camera is great and is well performed, though its made better when watching the film Человек с киноаппаратом [Man With a Movie Camera], than listening to it independently as an album.

Another perfect late night jazz outing for the Cinematics - everything you would expect and more! Indispensible!

Great blend of acoustic instrumentation with crafty electroacoustic sounds (e.g. turntables) and beats. The term "Nu Jazz" seems to often apply to things that have something vaguely resembling a drumkit and bass viol rhythm component with some influence of breakbeats or Hip Hop and some use of horns of pianos. It's a silly concept for sure, but I tend to rather like this sort of thing, regardless of its relationship to "jazz". For a more complex, Soft Machine and jam band kinda thing there are groups like Jaga Jazzist, but this album is closer to the easy-listening background music of groups like Tortoise. It's a lovely album that offers some fine moods and grooves.
It appears that this album was meant as a soundtrack to the very old Russian movie of the same title. I can't see any relation between the two things, but such is the nature of these soundtracks for silent films. As it happens, I have seen this film, with an extremely different sort of soundtrack. It was a good several years ago, so my memory isn't so detailed, but the film was super awesome. However, the music was probably one of the ten best performances I've heard in my life, so enrapturing that I think I often lost attention on the visuals. It was a performance by Trockeneis, a free improvisation group of five musicians from Baltimore who performed a very unusual music as a stable unit for a few years. Other performances by the group tended to be relatively short, maybe a half-hour at most, because of the extremely intense and often cathartic nature of the music, which was in fact quite subdued and tense, not a blast of energy at all. On the occasion of performing a live soundtrack for "Man With a Movie Camera" they were forced to sustain their set for the full duration of the somewhat long film, which was a miraculous situation. As usual, their music achieved more in five minutes than most musicians do in a lifetime, but it just kept going for the entirety of this fascinating, abstract film. I couldn't believe what was happening. The music just continued at their customary level, the highest level of music I've experienced in my life. It was a surreal and mind-shattering experience, one of the greatest events in human history from my view. Sadly I don't think anyone recorded that performance. I often recorded performances by the group, but I think I was a bit busy and not well prepared when I arrived that night. So it's a big fish tale now. I think I should watch this film again sometime, and something like this Cinematic Orchestra soundtrack would be nice because it would stay in the background while I focused more on the visuals.

Только что посмотрел фильм "Человек с киноаппаратом" (1929) с данным произведением в качестве саудтрека. Фильм просто гениален! Однако мне, как молодому человеку, живущему в XXI веке, было бы тяжело смотреть кино совсем без музыкального сопровождения, а The Cinematic Orchestra создали великолепный саундтрек. Конечно, я не читал книги Ветрова, в которых он подробно раскрывает, какую именно музыку он хотел бы услышать в своем фильме, однако это нисколько не умаляет того впечатления и удовольствия, которое я получил от просмотра. По моему скромному мнению саундтрек превосходен, пусть я и не слышал его отдельно; да и вообще, не уверен, что эту музыку следует слушать в отрыве от фильма, к которому она была записана.
Отсюда высокий балл альбому - не только музыкальному произведению, но и дополнению к шедевру мирового кино.

This album can easily be listened without thinking it's a soundtrack or that there are some same songs than in everyday- album. While in everyday- album there is a lot of vocals, this album is completaly instrumental and that makes it even better. recomended

WARNING! If you already own Every Daydon't spend any of your hard-earned (or otherwise) money on this. It's a soundtrack to the film named in the title and made up mainly of titles reprised from Every Day with some minor incidental music in-between. These versions are nearly identical to the originals except where they use a much worse instrumentation. There's also an uninspired cover of a great Art Ensemble track thrown in, but nothing to justify this thing's release unless you're screening the silent film.

After hearing them perform this material live, I was very disappointed with the record which I find lacks the dynamic energy of their live show. It sounded like they were worrying more about the click track than the performance.
