	Ferguson, Maynard
		Taking up the trumpet at nine, he was a member in his teens of dance bands led by Stan Wood (saxophonist), Roland David, and Johnny Holmes (his older brother Percy, a baritone saxophonist, also played for Holmes) and studied 1943-8 at the CMM with Bernard Baker.
		This was the first of several 'small' big bands (12 or 13 musicians) with which Ferguson toured until 1965, appearing at festivals and in clubs and concerts.
		It was with a 17-piece English band, which combined the orchestral conventions of jazz and the rhythmic vigour of rock, that he regained and even surpassed his former popularity.

		I thought the band lacked energy on stage, but I was reminded that the band utilizes its saxophone player live a lot more than on "Echoes." That's the problem with the album: not enough sax.
		What's lost by the removal of the barking, squawking saxophone that accompanies the live performance, though, is this band's potential for challenge and the creation of bracing, noisy (and simultaneously groovy) music -- it's emblematic of the slightly bland, unrealized expression of this album.
		Movietone's sound is still one of extremely subdued psychedelia, dense, delicate and somber, but now with a bit more of a lively twist.

		Movietone is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of the psych-folk world.
		Though they're a rare band indeed (this is only their fourth album in eight years), a new Movietone album is cause for celebration.
		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.

	Alliance for Improvised Music - Bablicon/Movietone/Volcano the Bear
		Movietone are from Bristol and are made up of a variety of boys and girls (often changing), some of whom are/were members of the Flying Saucer Attack, Third Eye Foundation and Crescent.If they really must be labelled, I guess that that absurdly broad pigeonhole 'outrock' will have to suffice.
		Movietone eschew classifications - 'Movietone are like Movietone' - although they're realists, don't deny their influences - 'we probably sound like loads of people'.
		Movietone are obviously in love with sound - on the LP you'll find random thoughts spoken into a stop/start-clicking tape machine, free jazz clarinet blasts and weavings, can't-play-properly viola, someone winding a clock, and studio floor tap dancing.

	* Dusted Reviews - Movietone *
		Though the original hype around the band centered around Kate Wright's and other members involvement in Flying Saucer Attack as well as Third Eye Foundation, their first two records (Day and Night and The Blossom Filled Streets) saw the band shake off the predetermined attitudes of their influences and carve their own niche.
		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.

	MTV Music \| Movietone - CD's, Albums, Tracks
		Formed in Bristol, England in 1994, Movietone displayed its quiet, sensual songs on a number of releases in the mid '90s for the Planet, Domino, and Drag City labels.
		Band members Florence Lovegrove, Matt Elliott, Rachel Brook, Kate Wright, and Matt Jones issued two 7"s with Planet before their self-titled full-length debut came out in 1996 -- two more 7's would follow before their Drag City debut, Day and Night, in 1997.
		The band then went on a three-year hiatus before producing their next full-length, The Blossom Filled Streets, in the summer of 2000.

		They are one of the many "artsy bands" from Athens, GA. They have 7 members (drums, bass, guitar, effected guitar, pedal steel guitar, keys, and cello) although only 6 performed at this show (the cellist couldn't make it apparently!) Their sound is sort of new wave meets Mogwai.
		I stood there listening to Movietone and thought "Man, i GOTTA buy this album -- this is exactly the kind of music i like to play in my apartment as i sit and read." I really think that there is a place for this sort of stuff.
		Maybe Movietone would have been better off opening for another band (they would have been GREAT on a bill with The For Carnation!) Or maybe they should have played at a coffee shop (coffee certainly would have helped me out!).

		An early version of slowcore band Rex originated in Maine in 1991, but at the time, drummer Doug Scharin was devoting most of his time to slowcore innovators Codeine.
		The slow, rolling nature of the band was augmented by the addition of an occasional string accompaniment and a more restrained vocal and emotional focus.
		The band's maturity signals a further emphasis on clarity and composition, as opposed to previous efforts where crescendoed bursts of emotional power defined their art.

		It wasn't their night; such are the perils of being the first band on of five.
		It's just a shame that the subtlety of their intoxicating music is lost of some members of audience, with heckling idiots feeling the need to shout "I'm bored!" This precious, reflective music simply doesn't connect with a lot of the audience, and that's a real shame.
		Their sound is difficult to categorize, with band leader Tom Cullihan layering hypnotic and noisy slabs of churning guitar noise with a discernable Krautrock influence, similar to early Stereolab albums like 'Switched On' (who shared the Too Pure label with Th' Faith Healers).

	HOOD - Press: Interviews: Zum
		Of course, the best scenario is hearing a band that gives both past and new sounds to explore and one band that did that for me was Hood.
		If my memory is correct, the band was started by Richard and Chris Adams around 1991 and Stewart Anderson was the first to play drums for Hood.
		As a music listener I often get frustrated when bands start changing their sound, but as a musician, if I play something that sounds like something we did 5 years ago then I want to move away from it very quickly.

	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.
		Like the band’s sparse, intimate and meandering compositions, Wright’s dusky vocals and diary-drawn lyrics are imperfect, non-linear and phantasmagoric.
		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.

	USC Movietone News
		Librarian of Congress James H. Billington recently announced that "Jenkins Orphanage Band" is one of 25 titles selected for the list of American motion pictures deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant." The unique film joins an annual honor roll that increasingly includes neglected movie artifacts, so-called "orphan films," alongside Hollywood features.
		At the 2002 Orphan Film Symposium, USC music history professor Julie Hubbert introduced a screening of "Jenkins Orphanage Band." She had been studying the Movietone footage as part of her research for the CSAM.
		More remarkably, this film may be the only surviving recording of the Charleston brass band, which became a legendary "incubator for jazz talent," she said.

	HOOD - Press: Interview Archive
		I wouldn't say that for a lot of our existence we've functioned as a band, in fact it's only been recently that we've all worked together and that's kind of obvious when you compare the four track mayhem of the first couple of albums to the stuff which is about to come out.
		Some are written by an individual and brought to the band to be fleshed out or reorganised, some are more organic where the band (I hate to use the word) jams, and some are almost finished by an individual with little input from anyone else.
		hood are one of those special bands whose inspiration stems from their beginnings in the early to mid nineties and has now flourished into the new century, the leeds quartet growing into one of the most touching of outfits.

	PBS - American Roots Music : The Songs and the Artists - Whistler's Jug Band
		One of the many African-American jug bands that flourished in the Louisville area in the '20s and '30s, Whistler's Jug Band, led by guitarist and novelty player Buford Threlkeld ("Whistler"), was distinctive on several counts.
		It was the first band of its type to record (starting in 1924), and it featured a ragtime and jazz repertoire that predated the later blues favored by groups like the Memphis Jug Band.
		Whistler's Jug Band became pioneers in preserving their music on film when they did a number for the Fox-Movietone newsreel in May 1930 ("Foldin' Bed").

		On the other hand, nothing is more rewarding when a band cites its influences and actually lives up to the lofty ideas they claim to be inspired by.
		Movietone, who mention The Velvet Underground as one of their primary influences, have a new album that would make John Cale, and maybe even Lou Reed, proud.
		Movietone has gone to great lengths to find just the right sound, combining instruments that would never find themselves keeping each other company.

		The richness of the band's composition and instrumentation make this music almost impossible to categorize.
		Movietone's second full album found the band specifically set on low-key performances throughout; no sudden shifts to crushing volume here, more a continued, extended dream of darkly attractive (but not dour) full-band mood-outs.
		Unlike, say, Mazzy Star or Low, Movietone's interpretation of smoky post-psychedelic jams relies on a definite briskness offset by Kate Wright's cool vocals, softly husked but not drowsy, combined with subtle arrangements, tweaks, and experiments to add variety.

		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.

	Movietone : Sun Drawing/Marine Oceano - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		"Sun Drawing" is the most hauntingly lovely record Movietone has yet produced -- a rhythmically intricate tone poem, it's closer in sound and spirit to folk-jazz than it is to the dissonant noise pop sprawl that defined the group's earliest efforts.
		Like so many of the band's titles, "Sun Drawing" seems a direct contradiction of the music's true mood and texture -- the song is instead possessed of nocturnal, moonlit beauty, barely rising above a murmur as it builds to its hypnotic climax.
		The instrumental "Marine Oceano" is by contrast little more than a throwaway, albeit appealing in its way -- Flo Lovegrove's viola introduces a new element into Movietone's sound that accentuates the cinematic ambience long underlying their approach.

	Ink 19 :: Soeza
		Chris Cole, the drummer of the great UK post-rock band Movietone, initially drew me to Soeza.
		My unending desire to fill the musical six degrees of separation lineage of my favorite bands paid off with an excellent album that would have definitely slipped under my radar otherwise.
		On "Brackish Water," the band cycles through a commanding rhythm section, with heavy bass and tribal percussion playing off against a rather hesitant guitar line and barely audible vocals.

		There will be NO BANTER, in fact, most bands will barely acknowledge the audience, and many dronerock musicians will stand with their backs to the audience.
		They have an uncanny knack of nicking all the best bits from your favourite bands and recombining them into a gorgeous ocean of sound which is reassuringly familiar, yet unmistakably their own.
		Saloon are a band of gorgeously balanced contrasts- grinding, industrialised MB meshing with bucolic, pastoral prettiness; timeless classicism balanced by futuristic flourishes.
