It’s not just the recurrent meditations on mortality that makes Ma Fleur even more heart-rendingly beautiful than 2002’s Everyday, it’s also how The Cinematic Orchestra’s new album actually feels.
-
Its sharpness in wake of modesty might make it The Cinematic Orchestra’s biggest accomplishment to date.
-
MojoAn eerily oneiric album of light, space and silence. [Jun 2007, p.100]
-
Ma Fleur is a triumphant return for The Cinematic Orchestra.
-
While Ma Fleur is no better than The Cinematic Orchestra’s previous scores, it is equally gorgeous in how it responds to and ekes out intellectual quagmires of song.
-
Slow, sugary, and perhaps a little too safe, this is not quite the return that Cinematic fans will want it to be.
-
Predictably, the Orchestra works considerably better as a symphony band than an orchestral accompaniment.
