The Cinematic Orchestra have announced a 20th anniversary audio reissue of their seminal 2003 album "Man With A Movie Camera.” The 2LP limited edition comes in ashen and pewter grey colored vinyl, housed in a rigid tip-on foiled, embossed and debossed detail gatefolded sleeve with updated artwork and new liner notes. This reissue will include 12” double sided art card insert of unseen session photography from the time. 
The Cinematic Orchestra, formed by Jason Swinscoe and later joined by long-time friend and collaborator Dominic Smith, are one of the UK's most respected and influential British artists of the last twenty years, creating genre-defying compositions that introduced jazz to a new breed of electronic music fans. 
Jason Swinscoe of The Cinematic Orchestra was commissioned to score a soundtrack to a silent movie as a one-off performance. The film was Dziga Vertov's ‘Man With A Movie Camera,' a 1929 early documentary cinema film from the Soviet Union considered to be one of the greatest films of all time. The performance took place in the historic Coliseu Porto, and ended with a standing ovation of 3,500 people. The Cinematic Orchestra have since toured the show internationally over the years, including performances at The Barbican in London, NYC's Winter Garden at WTC, and Sydney Opera House.
The album was met with much acclaim. The Guardian gave it 4/5 and said "You can perform an autopsy on the jazz instruments, DJ Shadow-like grooves and repeating chord sequences, yet come away scratching your head as to how, in such simple combinations, they make such heartfelt music.” The Independent on Sunday continued, "It stands alone, proud and complete.” And dance magazines also showered it with praise such as DJ Magazine, "The genius, a word not to be used lightly, of The Cinematic Orchestra seemingly knows no bounds.”
