Breathe: Cinematic Orchestra's new Single from the Album Ma Fleur http://instrumentalmusic.suite101.com/article.cfm/album_review_
breathe#ixzz0m6hAFc4Z
The Cinematic Orchestra has not been heard of since 2004's Man With a Movie Camera. They are still cinematic, but they're scoring a different movie. As sweeping, grand and grandiose as ever, the new single,
Breathe, has an elegiac tone. There is genuine, not always pleasant emotion in these songs. However, the songs celebrate life as much as they mourn it. Listening to them is not necessarily as happy and toe-tapping as their previous work, but just as deep and rewarding.
The single features three tracks:
Breathe, Colors, and the formerly download-only single, a shortened version of Build a Home. It can only be bought as a limited 12" or digital download. The group has also made all three tracks available as free streaming mp3s on The Cinematic Orchestra Myspace page if you just want to listen. And listen you should, because it's fantastic.
