AOTD - The Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur



"The Cinematic Orchestra is a British-based jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe. The band is signed to Ninja Tune. The Cinematic Orchestra's sound, in both live and studio contexts, employs a live band which improvises along with a turntablist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe.

Ma Fleur is the fourth full-length release and third proper studio album by The Cinematic Orchestra, released in 2007. The album is less jazz-influenced than the band's previous albums, but still retains their familiar downtempo sound."


Neither jazz nor trip-hop nor any other label you can think of, Ma Fleur is an immensely moving, and strongly distinct in the sound that comes across. Where as much as you hear is just as important as what you don't hear. a sense of space, vastness, but always comforting. The songs flow beautifully softly merging from one to the next dragging you deeper into its spell, starting off with the hair raising tingle of the power piano ballad that is "To Build A Home" The haunting vocals of "Breathe", The whimsical cast of arrangements throughout, And a sense of depth that only grows after repeat listens. Ma Fleur is a great album that should be heard by all who just need to get away everyonce in awhile.
