Awesome music/film collage.......2006-10-11

U.N.K.L.E. seems to be involved in a lot of projects that aren't making it to the states. I've picked up three different imports as obscene prices over the last year or two. The good news is, they're all pretty much worth the money and the trouble it takes to get them - especially Edit Music for a Film.

There is one long track on each CD with no index point. The tracks are part mix CD, part collage,and lots of familiar sound bytes from Dune, Blade Runner, Scarface, THX-1138, and others. One song blends seamlessly into the next with some very inventive transitions. It's really most effective if you can listen to it straight through. It's a good CD to take on the road.

Some people don't dig the post-DJ Shadow UNKLE, but they should give this a shot. I wouldn't even call this an UNKLE album, per se. It's just good music. It's worth the inflated import price, but if you can find it cheaper, picking this one up is a no-brainer. This is fun music, plain and simple.

The nature of the CD makes it difficult to break it down into tracks, but this is approximately what you can expect. Remember - there's a lot more to it than what's listed below.

Disc One
1. 20th Century Fox Fanfare/THX intro
2. Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra
3. UNKLE - Loney Soul
4. Wendy Carlos - Music from A Clockwork Orange
5. Massive Attack - I Against I
6. Genuine Childs - DVD Menu Score
7. Kill Bill Vol. 1 - music from the film
8. DJ Shadow - GDMFSOB
9. Romeo and Juliet Vol. 2 - The Montague Boys
10. Chris Isaak - Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
12. Sid Vicious - My Way
13. UNKLE - Safe In Mind
14. Dillinja - Angels Fell
15. UNKLE - I Need Something Stronger
16. Peter Pan - The Second Star to the Right

Disc Two
1. UNKLE - Eye for an Eye
2. UNKLE and south - Cocaine and Camcorders
3. UNKLE and South - Paranoid
4. Thomas Bangalter - Night Beats
5. UNKLE - Have You Passed Through This Night?
6. Dylan Rhymes - The Way
7. Cliff Martinez - Is That What Everybody Else Wants?
8. Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang
9. Moby - God Moving Over Water
10. Elton John - Tiny Dancer

UNKLE.......2006-08-08

Not as compelling as Fiction or Never Land, but great nonetheless. My only complaint is the lack of "original" content on the disc - most is remixed from the previous albums. But beyond that, a must have for any UNKLE fan.

It's OK....but not excellent.......2005-08-26

If you like movies, you will get something out of 'Edit Music for a Film'. Dialogue and/or music from many movies is used, including Kill Bill, Space Odyssey 2001, Solaris, Almost Famous, Scarface, etc.

Not a bad effort by Lavelle, but at times it gets way too repetitious. Sometimes many minutes pass without change to the samples or beats. Not the sort of thing you can listen to over and over again.

Also, it would have been better to break up each CD into 'tracks' such that the less interesting parts can be skipped - if needed.

If you are looking at purchasing an album as an introduction to UNKLE, then get Psyence Fiction or Never Never Land Instead.

Edit Music For A Film.......2005-07-08

This is the first Unkle album I heard and it blew me away. Full of clever and haunting film references, driving beats and that unique seamless blend of music that Unkle produce. Repeated listenings just get better and better and after delving back in the Unkle and DJ Shadow catalogue - which has been a great experience - I've found it easily surpasses everything else they've done to date. Where's the movie??
Best listened to when in the dark with headphones or quite trippy while shopping in the supermarket.
