Although there are chunks of the album that closely resemble Herbert’s recordings with the Matthew Herbert Big Band, much of this is unexpectedly out of character and incredibly lush. Collaborating with string arranger and frequent collaborator Pete Wraight we hear his work fleshed out with gorgeous orchestral flourishes while still keeping that sense of something defiantly electronic going on in the foundations. Take the album’s opening track ‘Funeral’ for instance (taken from the 2005 film ‘Vida Y Color’); the deep swooping orchestral movements are unlike anything Herbert has taken on before but there’s something in there that still leaves his thumbprint in view. As wavering electronic sounds protrude above marimba and plucked bass it becomes obvious that this is a direction Herbert is absolutely comfortable with, and far from merely re-wiring his sound to fit in with filmic convention he has come up with something original and breathtakingly listenable. This high bar of quality is continued throughout, whether he’s reworking film classics such as ‘Singing in the Rain’ in a big-band style (trust me, it works) or working with choral vocals and electronics on the epic ten-minute ‘Rendezvous’ and by the time you reach the album’s close you feel as if you’ve been on a journey. We go with Herbert from 1997 to 2006 and in almost ten years of film work he has amassed an incredible body of work, something that I think stands tall and proud next to his more established albums. It might not be the most obvious place to get your next fix of Herbert but take a chance with this oddity and I promise, you won’t be disappointed! Surprising and incredibly beautiful, Herbert scores yet again…

matthew herbert的魔力已经无需再做过多的复述.简单的说一下就是虽然在他法力无边的三头六臂.分身有术之下,有那么多分支的project的作品,但是你只需要随便挑上一两张来过耳,都足以被他蛊惑得五迷三道的.反正我这一辈子的心愿里面,在听过他一张专集后,已经包括了"一定要看一次他...

这年头认真编管弦乐的越来越少了,所以值得好好听一下。
