Weird you would mention Sorcery, @True2. Because I'm pretty sure Durian on this record samples the bass part from Abercrombie's song Sorcery I (from Gateway, back in '75). Check it out!

A pity this album is labeled "Future Jazz", because it's not about the future at all. And a pity it's released on Ninja Tune, cause people might fend it off as "just another boring trip-hop album". The Cinematic Orchestra actually didn't get any better than this. Samples from old crackling jazz records creates a spooky film noir atmosphere that is so thick that most movie soundtrack composers would be jealous. If you close your eyes and listen, you hear more similarities with jazz legends like Buddy Rich and David Axelrod, than the boring trip-funk of The Herbaliser. 7 track in all, with most of the songs being about 7-14 minutes long, this album is definitely NOT for the dancefloor, which is good. It's simply a piece of brilliant cut-and-paste jazz music for home listening pleasure.

I agree, it is a very good album, but don't insult Ninja Tune, they've released some cracking, well produced music.

Motion, the Cinematic Orchestra’s first album, is, in a word, stunning. “Durian” starts out with slow strains then turns into a dark funk jam at the very end. “Ode to the Big Sea” takes a familiar jazz riff and sets it rolling like the ocean itself, with swells of horns, strings and drums and waves of piano and clarinet. That track is one of my favorites on an album that’s an embarrassment of riches. “Channel 1 Suite” is quietly devastating -- its vocal sample and gentle instruments have such an emotional pull. “And Relax!” encourages you to do just that. Motion shows how deeply felt music can be and has quickly become one of my favorite future jazz albums of all time.
