– Movietone sessions:1994 – 1997 at Fades in Slowly

‘Movietone create beguiling musical statements that draw explicit influence from the coastlines of England,’ or at least that is what record label Domino would have you believe, and who am I to argue? Formed in Bristol in 1994, Movietone revolve around core members Kate Wright and Rachel Brook. Brook was also a member of Flying Saucer Attack during the first few years of the band, while Wright is currently the bass player for Crescent.

Ostensibly an ongoing concern, no new album has appeared since 2003′s ‘The Sand and the Stars’, which was recorded, as all albums should be, almost entirely live on a beach.

The band’s three sessions come from the mid 90s…

Adam, guy, you know how much I worship the ground you walk on…so why can't I download these? All say 'file not found'.
Not the sort of thing you want in your inbox on a Sunday morning, so can I mollify you by saying…love the new layout? Steve x

first of all, thanks for your reply, i appreciate it.
that is cool, and i guess that as a movietone fan, patience has to come with the territory.
