As you may know, I am an avid music collector. And as I've got a blog that I have the freedom to write whatever I want, I can write things about music! Since I've got a super large collection of music, I'd love to share some of my gems to others since my friends tend to listen to more mainstream kind-of music like pop, rock and whatnot. So whenever they want to listen to something alternative and artists that are not so well-known, they would turn up to me and ask for recommendations.
So without further ado, I would like to introduce this album called Ma Fleur, by The Cinematic Orchestra.
According to Wikipedia, The Cinematic Orchestra is a music project/band since late 1990s created by Jason Swinscoe. And here is a little description of them:
The Cinematic Orchestra is a British jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe. The band is signed to Ninja Tune independent record label. In addition to Swinscoe, the band includes PC former DJ Food member (Patrick Carpenter) on turntables, Luke Flowers (drums), Tom Chant (Saxophone), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar) and Phil France (double bass). Former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums), Federico Ughi (drums) and Alex James (piano). The most recent addition to the band is Mancunian guitarist Stuart McCallum.
It's not a very popular band I know, but this album from them is quite different than you would normally expect from a band. It's a very chillout-styled music, which is slow in tempo and deep. For me I'd love to listen to it while I'm reading, since it's relaxing and slow-paced style helps me to concentrate on my reading. No matter it's textbook or ordinary novels from store. It's just a nice touch to add into your ever-expanding music universe. Go check it out!
