released February 2000. It's their penultimate studio album. Essential!
Nobody else will like this (except maybe Loz?):

Neither had I, a knowledgable music shop owner recommended them yesterday, I was trading some LPs and rationalising my collection a bit. An interesting blend of instrumentation and musical feel/genres, I suppose if you wanted to pigeonhole them then the Wiki one is OK "British nu jazz and downtempo group". If you like St. Germain you will probably like them, well worth a listen.
My personal view is that I think it will become regularly played album, and I will likely have to investigate some of their other offerings.
From Discogs.
"Their debut album, Motion, was released in 1999. The critical success of that album led to them being asked to perform at the Director's Guild Awards ceremony for the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to film director Stanley Kubrick.
The band were asked by the organisers of the Porto European City of Culture 2000 festival to write a new score to Dziga Vertov's classic 1929 Russian silent film Man with a Movie Camera, to be performed live in accompaniment with a showing of the film. The work differed from the band's usual compositions due to its live performance, ruling out the post production work that was present on Motion. The Cinematic Orchestra toured with the work and later released it on an album of the same name. Many of the compositions originally created for Man with a Movie Camera were later adapted from live form (adding in vocal tracks and electronic elements, among other changes) for their next album, Every Day.
The Cinematic Orchestra released the album Ma Fleur on May 7, 2007.
The Cinematic Orchestra performed the soundtrack to the Disneynature film "The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos", released on December 15, 2008."
