UNKLE Release A Collection Of Eclectic Recordings
Highlights on this new release include Heaven and Blade in the Back which features on Spike Jonze' skate video Fully Flared, as well as being the opening and closing title tracks from Odyssey in Rome, the Alex Grazioli documentary about celebrated director Abel Ferrera, for which UNKLE provided the entire soundtrack. The album also covers collaborations with Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones who they worked with on the artwork for 'War Stories'. Other tracks are collaborations with Philip Sheppard who recently scored the movie 'In The Shadow of the Moon', as well as pieces of music created in their Surrender All studio, just by James and Pablo themselves.
Compiling this collection has been a liberating experience for Lavelle;
''it covers a much wider range of influences than an album, like War Stories, which has a particular focus. There is room for everything in this kind of collection, from classical all the way to beat-driven instrumentals and electronic rock.'' …….. "A lot of the music we're making ends up sitting on the shelf, neither properly released nor heard. A waste, really, we thought. So this album is our attempt to alleviate our musical frustrations whilst hoping that it will find a wider audience… It's not a new album in the usual sense, but new music that has been inspired by the moving image."page << 1 2 >>

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
