In dedication of our house

My fiance and I closed on our house yesterday. So this weekend we're moving everything and will be meshing into one unit. It's time to make this house our home and grow as a family together.

It's all very exciting, though I must admit very tiring. Just packing up everything has left me feeling incredibly sore. It is definitely all worth it, but I'm sore all the same.

So here we have The Cinematic Orchestra. The band is signed to the Ninja Tune independent record label. Six members and fun electric-jazz music. The song below is from their latest record which released on May 7th. Ma Fleur, the record was written as the soundtrack to a specially commissioned screenplay for an imagined film (which may or may not yet be made).

The rest of the songs are all themed of course and I hope you enjoy the mix.

Listen:
The Cinematic Orchestra - "To Build a Home" (mp3)
A-Ha - "Hurry Home" (mp3)
The Lemonheads - "Baby's Home" (mp3)
Aerosmith - "Home Tonight" (mp3)
Frank Sinatra - "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" (mp3)
Billy Joel - "You're My Home" (mp3)
Tim McGraw - "Sing Me Home" (mp3)
The Cure - "Home" (mp3)

The Cinematic Orchestra

They're British, they like electrified music and they pull it altogether jazz style.

It has been five years since The Cinematic Orchestra released Everyday. So it was with great anticipation on March 26, 2007 that they launched Ma Fleur, the record was written as the soundtrack to a specially commissioned screenplay for an imagined film (which may or may not yet be made).

Their label, Ninjatune Releases, says "Dealing with themes of loss and love - and in itself representing a kind of absence - "Ma Fleur" is fertile ground for Swinscoe's brand of music-making, for while people have talked about what he does in terms of jazz, the truth is that the basis of his music has always been in raw emotion."
