	Cinerama
		The Cinerama system displays a widescreen effect by simultaneously projecting images from three synchronized projectors onto a huge, deeply-curved screen.
		It is difficult to assess the impact these films must have had on the big screen, since nowadays they are only seen on television or video in the form of Cinemascope prints, which marry the three images together with the joins clearly visible.
		Cinerama is also the name of a UK music band, headed up by David Gedge[?], who was the former frontman for The Wedding Present[?].

		Cinerama restored a visceralness to moviegoing that had been largely missing since the nickelodeon, where novice film audiences would flinch at the sight of waves or a man pointing agun at the camera.
		Cinerama guys hate multiplexes, hate small screens, hates sloppy projectionists, hate the fact that sutdios couldn't care less about all this, because they just want to dump pictures into as many theaters as possible and take the money and run.
		In 1963, Cinerama finally made it to third-tier citites such as Dayton with the release of How the West Was Won, the first Cinerama feature with movie stars and one which Harvey, by then a working professional, had the honor of projecting.

		CINERAMA is the group formed by The Wedding Present's David Gedge ("One of the most consistently brilliant songwriters in Britain" - [NME]).
		Cinerama have gone on to record several radio sessions for BBC Radio 1's John Peel, and have toured The British Isles and North America on their own, and Continental Europe as special guests of The Beautiful South.
		Last summer the band also performed at several European festivals, including a headlining appearance at The Reading Festival's "Carling Premier Stage," and played at the BBC's "John Peel Night" concert which was broadcast live to celebrate the veteran broadcaster's 60th birthday.

	Cinerama - Biography - AOL Music
		Since Gedge spent the better part of two decades in a band that painted his diverse tastes into a corner musically, it's no surprise that his new work would be just as heartfelt and prolific as that of his former band.
		On pace to rival the generally welcomed bin clogging of the Wedding Present, Cinerama released a clutch of multi-format singles in support of their debut LP, as well as a number of intervening releases prior to 2000's Steve Albini-recorded Disco Volante.
		Notable was the band's inaugural release on their own Scopitones label on Valentine's Day of 2000 (Manhattan), which featured a cover of the Smiths' "London." Conveniently collecting the group's first four singles, This Is Cinerama was released just weeks after Disco Volante.

		To appreciate Cinerama's impact, you have to remember that from their infancy, with very few exceptions, movies had been shot and shown in a virtually square format; even the bosom-heaving Technicolor spectacle that was Gone with the Wind had been corseted within a frame whose rigid proportions dated back to Thomas Edison's laboratories.
		That was the void filled by Cinerama, which was so wide it had to be shot by a three yoked-together cameras and shown by three synchronized projectors, their images blended to fill a vast, deeply curved, panoramic screeen that was nearly three times as wide as it was tall.
		As the curtains slowly parted to reveal the reast of the huge, engulfing screen, the film cut to what has been called the most famous point-of-view shot in history, taken by the bulky, three-eyed camera as it was lashed to the front seat of a roller coaster.

	EvilSponge: Album: Torino by Cinerama
		Cinerama is the latest band from David Gedge, whom you might remember from such phenomenal 80's brit-pop bands as: The Wedding Present.
		As a result of this, previous Cinerama albums explored keyboard melodies rather than the intense guitarwork of The Wedding Present.
		In all honesty that was a disappointment to me: i found the first two Cinerama albums to be weak and lacking.

	David Gedge interview
		At the time, when I was thinking about a band name there were two original Cinerama theaters left in the world and one was in America, I think it was in Ohio, and one was in Bradford, which is six miles from where I live.
		Mel: With Cinerama being, in a sense, a solo project, whereas Wedding Present was an actual band, that must have radically changed the approach to recording an album because instead of having band members play you have to figure out each sound individually and how you're gonna get that on the record.
		It seems like their promotion of the band which is really good that they do it, but the BBC it's seen as you're coming in as a musician, we're gonna pay you a decent rate, it's almost like a subsidy.

		CINERAMA is a solo project formed by The Wedding Present's David Gedge.
		Cinerama are currently on their longest tour of the USA that will last five weeks, mostly during October 2002.
		They think "Yeah, I'll be in a band and travel the world and play music." Then you do it and it's great but you end up sitting in the van for twenty hours a day.

		The band then flew to Minneapolis to remix with producer extraordinaire Bryan Hanna, after which the band turned in final mixes with even more reverb.Band leader Allen Clapp defended the move, replying, "What did you expect when you signed a band from California?" This may explain why the Peels are now dealing with spinART.
		The band was devastated, but coped by eventually adding indie rock veteran John Moremen from San Francisco (Jad Fair, Jimmy Silva, Half Japanese, the Neighbors) to fill in on the skins.
		With the deadline nearing, and the band disintegrating in front of his eyes, singer and songwriter Allen Clapp -- his turntable stacked high with Carole King and Dionne Warwick albums -- penned a desperate plea to his old high school chum.

		Gedge fronted the long-also-running UK group the Wedding Present for 12 years, patenting a strummy, light-angst sound that was frustratingly difficult to take seriously, despite the craft and quality concealed in their best work.
		Cinerama spike the dorkcore stylings of their frontman with heavy doses of tinkly cocktail Moog, smatterings of wah-wah guitar, and chilly Serge Gainsbourg arrangements.
		Though the band's long-players, Va Va Voom and the near-fabulous Disco Volante, have been quite cool, any longtime Gedgeophile can tell you the real story of the man's work is in the singles.

		Not only is he President of Cinerama, Inc., the firm that develops and produces all Cinerama equipment, but he also heads his own Reeves Soundcraft Corp., the largest sound service laboratory in the East.
		In Cinerama's famous roller coaster ride, the illusion of being in the front car of a scenic railway is immeasurably heightened by the realistic clatter and then the screams that seem to come from all about the spectators — as well as, frequently, from the spectators themselves.

	Cinerama Holiday, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Along with a new album every other year, David Gedge's Cinerama has released a steady of flow of singles featuring B-sides that often rate favorably with a bulk of the album material -- anyone who has followed Gedge's career is familiar with the value he places on the increasingly neglected format.
		Cinerama Holiday succeeds This Is Cinerama as the second compilation dedicated to keeping all the band's non-album material available, with everything from the band's fifth through eighth singles contained.
		When this was released in mid-2003, Cinerama was only one single away from having its third batch of four singles out, so another compilation like this one can't be too far down the road.

		But, beyond those elements, Cinerama continues to explore ornate ground, full of orchestrations and arrangements that never would have fit into Gedge's previous projects.

		As he explains from the band's tour stop in Wisconsin, it was simply time for a breather.
		Gedge's original intention with Cinerama was to create music that offered the dramatic subtext of a film score with the visceral impact of traditional Pop music.
		In that regard, Cinerama was wildly successful, and while the band never equaled the accomplishments of The Wedding Present, Gedge was satisfied that he had done what he had set out to do in his alternate band.

		As the frontman of Cinerama (and formerly of the Wedding Present), David has not only acquired credit for writing a large stash of indie rock's finest compositions, but a sharp wit and charming humility.
		The only band that I have every record of is Altered Images.

	tonevendor.com :. Cinerama - Disco Volante CD
		From the opening track's spaghetti Western styled guitar, it's obvious that the band name is no fluke, and the songs on Disco Volante not only draw their sonic inspiration from such classic soundtrack composers as John Barry and Ennio Morricone, but play like mini-films or perhaps short stories put to film.
		The key that holds it all together is Gedge's lovely tenor voice and unerring sense of melody, all infused with sort of upbeat good cheer that is a perfect antidote to the legions of nihilistic whiners who have come to dominate popular music in the last few years.
		Admirably aided by coproducer Steve Albini, the clear-eyed Pop of Cinerama is joy incarnate and sexy to boot.

	ArtsEditor: opinions: Cinerama at T.T. the Bear's Place
		On the cover of Torino, the latest full-length album by the British group Cinerama, there is a quote by the legendary British DJ John Peel that reads, "This boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the Rock 'n' Roll era.
		His strumming speed was unrivalled, and his lyrics, delivered in his trademark Yorkshire growl, were bristling snapshots of boy-girl strife, vividly phrased like one side of a telephone conversation.
		The compilation of Cinerama's first four EPs, This Is Cinerama, is a veritable classic of intelligent, four-chord pop, and everyone ought to own at least three copies of it given the uncertain world we live in.

		After spending several months listening to Cinerama's debut, Va Va Voom, I was pretty sure of what to expect upon listening to Disco Volante, but those expectations were blown upon hearing the first track "146 Degrees." Disco Volante is much better than I had expected.
		Va Va Voom was a great album and was so constant that I'd assumed Cinerama had set their sound and they were going to stick to it.
		It's obvious within the first minute that this is a different album with a different sound and a different outlook.

		I had also been a very early champion of his band's patented wall-of-guitars, strained voice, loser romantic sound--borrowed a fraction from seminal early '80s Scots band Orange Juice, but played with enough soul and self-belief for it not to matter.
		To me, the Weddoes had always been akin to John Robb's pre-grunge Membranes and an obvious rock band, albeit one that presaged the rise of Nirvana with their feminine, sensitive lyrics.
		Steve Albini is back behind the console, and the result is the new Cinerama album, a record that mixes and matches David's obvious love for the symphonic '60s pop of Burt Bacharach and Serge Gainsbourg with a slightly more abrasive sound.

		When an artist steps out as a solo act after a distinguished tenure in a beloved band, the struggle is whether to go off in a totally new direction, or reassert the legacy.
		The Sneetches were way ahead of the curve back in the late-80's, about the only band of its time that drew inspiration from some of the softer sides of 60's pop, including The Zombies, The Turtles, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, et.
		The band is keyed by splendid four-part harmonies, mixing two parts Rubinoos with one part Jellyfish for an organically slick (or is it slickly organic?) vocal blend, Frank Huston's creative lead guitar work and Brian Curtis's omnipresent retro keyboard stylings.

	Cinerama - Torino (Scopitones) - Drawer B Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If the standing-room-only crowd at Dingwalls served as any indication, Torino has clearly caught the ear of the old-schoolers, who arrived clad in their Wedding Present garb from days of yore, forming a 100% cotton Gedge-time-line (how they keep their decade old t-shirts in such pristine condition is beyond me).
		Amusingly, Cinerama always seems to rock out more in concert than on its albums and many in the crowd were definitely not expecting the energetic response the band received.
		Perhaps, he secretly yearns for the salad days of Top Of The Pops and strings of charting hits- the latter of which may not be far from reach with the new material, despite the current musical climate.
