Man With The Movie Camera (20th Anniversary Limited Edition Ashen & Pewter Double Gatefold LP)

To mark the 20th anniversary of their remarkable soundtrack for the Soviet documentary Man With A Movie Camera, The Cinematic Orchestra are granting its release on vinyl for the very first time - in ashen and pewter grey - including updated artwork, liner notes and session photos, housed in a foil embossed and debossed gatefold sleeve.

The band was in the process of writing their album Every Day when the film commission occurred, which had a formative influence on Man With A Movie Camera. Certain tracks that made it onto Every Day in other forms were written specifically for the score or were already in development, which allowed Swinscoe and the band to remold motifs to the film's unfolding narrative.

Man With A Movie Camera was eventually recorded and released in 2003. it was met with much acclaim. The Guardian gave it 4/5 and said "You can perform an autopsy on the jazz instruments, DJ Shadow-like grooves and repeating chord sequences, yet come away scratching your head as to how, in such simple combinations, they make such heartfelt music." The Independent on Sunday continued, "It stands alone, proud and complete." And dance magazines also showered it with praise such as DJ Magazine, "The genius, a word not to be used lightly, of The Cinematic Orchestra seemingly knows no bounds."
