	Mundane Sounds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Movietone is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of the psych-folk world.
		At times, Movietone seems almost painfully self-aware; a clarinet here, a violin there, a cello over here--you could easily get the feeling that you were listening to a band going through a warm-up, that there wasn't any real organization to what was going on.
		It's interesting, because it's obvious that Movietone mastermind Kate Wright has traded in her winter clothes and gloomy English weather for a cottage on the beach.

	This Day in History
		Movietone was best known for its newsreels, which captured newsworthy events on film and created a living historical record.
		Movietone was the only newsreel producer to capture the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and its aftermath, though that footage was kept secret for more than a year.
		And Movietone executive Truman Talley was so sure that the Hindenburg would explode one day that he ordered cameramen to cover it constantly, ensuring that its 1937 explosion was captured on film.

	Movietone: The Sand and the Stars - PopMatters Music Review
		Acoustic guitars and their gentle strummings comprise most of Movietone's sound, and, when combined with deft jazz-minded compositions and Kate Wright's hope-inducing vocal whispers, Movietone proves that not only are they at their most frugal, but also their most emotionally poignant.
		As the fourth album from Movietone, The Sand and the Stars undeniably showcases this outfit from Bristol's ability reveal themselves fully through a stripped-down aesthetic where their songwriting will be exposed in the nude and either triumph or fail.
		More specifically, Movietone hauled their instruments down to a shore where waves murmured and the stars gleaned and recorded much of the album's material right there on the beach's soft sand.

	Tiny Mix Tapes
		On "In Mexico," Movietone serve up one of the more sicky-sweet examples of the back porch formula that is lovely perhaps because of its unsettlingly understated orchestration and fragile repetition.
		After a stirring instrumental interlude, Movietone resumes with the lazy, yearning yawn of banjo-plucker, "Red Earth." This is a good time to give credit to the vocals.
		But Movietone has soul to spare, and dodge naysayers crying "formulaic" by making their formula more heart-warming and compelling than it ever was before.

		DC 260 CD "This is the fourth Movietone LP (3rd on Drag City) since their formation in 1994.
		Remastered to include tracks from their first two singles plus Kate's first demo for Rachel, Movietone's self-titled debut shimmers with an intricate introspection, gentle melancholy and a passion for the experimental that have become their trademarks.
		Movietone are from the same Bristol scene that saw Flying Saucer Attack and The Third Eye Foundation flourish.

	Movietone
		Images of the sea and the dewy countryside pervade Movietone’s third record, but Rachel Brook and Kate Wright owe little to the sea shanties and Anglo-folk of their coastal Bristol, England.
		On "1930s Beach House," after calling out and replying to herself for much of the song, Wright repeats the last pair of lines several times: "There’s fish on the shoreline/candles in the dark night." It’s this subtle combination of familiar and yet colliding elements that’s bewitching.
		As the lyrics of "Porthcurno" admit: "This sand and these shells are the same as you’ve all seen/But this day is ours for a while." Movietone has created a beautifully fragile record, uncommonly composed of common elements, that thrives on the threshold of death and unknowing, changing seasons.

		Wadia Movietone's first sound film was Lal-e-Yaman, very much in the mould of the fantasies of 1930s, replete with tales of prophecy, royal intrigue and young romance.
		In 1942, Wadia Movietone sold all its assets to V Shantaram who was later to build his Rajkamal Kalamandir on the same site.
		The film Alam Ara is a swashbuckling tale about a power-struggle between two queens of an ageing king, and the daughter of an imprisoned loyal general, the Alam Ara of the title.

		The cruel and relentless myrmidons of science have surrounded Hollywood, and are, at this very moment, waiting, with their spears raised in ominous silence, for the command to enter the city and drag its inhabitants around the walls.
		The movietone has begun its conquest of the silent movie, and Southern California is in a panic.
		The movietone is a big success in the hinterland, threatening vaudeville and legitimate theatres, and the novelties it makes possible are now important auxiliaries to movie entertainment in New York.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Movietone: The Sand and the Stars
		While their sounds are sometimes stylized, The Sand and the Stars seems to speak to the humanity of those who created it.
		Movietone, for all this stylized artiness, never fail to invite us into their world, and it is never anything less than a warm and rich place.
		I may not be reaching for The Sand and the Stars day in and day out, but I can promise no more than a few nights will pass before I reach for it and lull myself to sleep with its modest and romantic sounds.

	Re: Orphans footage/MIAP project LONG
		One of the things Cooper Graham and I talked about doing was taking a Movietone News story from 1935 or 36 (in the LC collection) that used Fox library materials and tracking down extant outtakes from the SC Newsfilm holdings that match up.
		She has been recently asking similar questions about early Movietone, primarily because she is interested in reconstructing the program of shorts and newsreels that were shown at the premiere of Murnau's SUNRISE (1928), which also used a Movietone soundtrack.
		I mentioned to her that this bit of Movietone was used in National Public Radio's coverage of the Orphans 3 symposium and broadcast on "Weekend All Things Considered" September 28, 2002.

		Movietone has slowly taken a more blissful and traditional acoustic route, bringing exotic instrumentation and horn arrangements to the proceedings.
		As they explain in the liner notes on The Sand and the Stars, the album originated on a beach under the stars and later was finished on a coastal path illuminated by a lighthouse.
		Still, on "Snow Is falling" Movietone show that their naiveté can at times produce unfettered and unrestricted moments of tranquility.

		Not only did the release of Movietone News increase from one to three issues per week in a little over a year, but within a span of two months in 1928, the total of West Coast recording units increased to a total of 24.
		Since at one time Fox Movietone released three Movietone newsreels a week, it is no wonder that it is one of the largest, if not the largest collections of all newsreels.

		Movietone seem to be consciously reaching into that land of ambient dreamscapes.
		The vocals are done in airy whispers that frustrate the listener's attempts to piece together lyrical phrases.
		Despite Movietone's admirable attempt at aesthetic creativity, I'm not sure there is any place in our culture for ambient music built with elements of sparse low-fi pop music.

		Maybe, had i been in the right frame of mind, they could have transcended the limitations of The Eyedrum and filled the place with their beautiful minimalism, much like The For Carnation were able to do at The Echo Lounge.
		Movietone do a wonderful job of combining the various sounds to make interesting texture.
		Since what they do is describe space, i have come to believe that the low quality of the "place" they were playing in (which is, basically, a run down basement) affected the show in a bad way.

		As an ode to a marriage of sound and cinema that evokes both set and setting, the members of Movietone have their work cut out for them.
		Formed by Rachel Brook after leaving the latter group, Movietone has subtly concreted the quiet atmospherics of her former band into something altogether provincial: a distinctly British folk-jazz persuasion.
		Movietone channel the tentative relation between memory and sensory stimuli, with a forward-looking nostalgia coming to the forefront as the ebb and flow of reality recedes into the background.

	Movietone - The Blossom Filled Streets (Drag City)
		Coming from the Bristol music family that brought forth Flying Saucer Attack and Third Eye Foundation, Movietone takes the elements of a chamber orchestra and uses them to create jazz-baased soundscapes that backdrop a nonexistent, fl and white, rain-drenched arthouse movie.
		This format is successful for Movietone as far as their goal of creating imagery through sound, such as "Seagulls/Bass" (the title tells the story).
		However, the best parts of the album are the more traditional (relatively speaking) songs such as the ones that start and bisect the album.

	Movietone - The Blossom Filled Streets - Review
		Comprised of former members of Flying Saucer Attack and several other groups, Movietone creates music that would be a perfect soundtrack to a stroll along a boardwalk on a perfectly dreary, fall day.
		Although the instrumentation is quite lush and cinematic, it also manages to come across as quite minimal, perhaps because of the recording techniques (analogue, baby) or the more acoustic nature of the instrumentation.
		While there are a couple moments where the group gets louder, The Blossom Filled Streets is mainly a pretty restrained affair that will make you want to curl up with some hot tea under a blanket and not go outside until it gets warm again.

		Movietone accentuate the sparse acoustics of their haphazard chamber playing on their third album The Blossom Filled Streets, which rings with the sound of a bare, wood-floored room.
		Movietone's looser style, audible on the lengthy instrumental "Year Ending," reveals an acquaintance with the organic, abstract German art rock of Popol Vuh.
		Throughout, Movietone's disc features unadorned, raw instruments, often woodwinds set against Wright's melancholy words like "Tonight I'm going to let the ocean in, and these shadows, well, I'll just let them be," as a piano, brushed cymbals and snare, and strings swell from backdrop to building storm.

		It may be true to say that the post-rock movement is becoming a more dominant force in alternative music circles but sometimes it is advisable to put a little more 'rock' into the music in order to make it more captivating.
		Movietone's third album is a case in point; the ideas are sound; minimalist production, an almost folky, laid-back feel but due to the absence of tunes or even a singer who sounds even remotely interested in the subject matter, "The Blossom Filled Streets" recalls a tossed-off art-house project.
		This album compares Broadcast but without the cinematic, timeless feel, a less adventurous A R Kane or even Hood without the tangible feeling of misery.
