The Cinematic Orchestra Covers Radiohead

I'm really happy to be the first blog (I hope) to post a new track from SK favorites The Cinematic Orchestra. As if Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)" wasn't cinematic enough, J. Swinscoe and company give the fantastically epic track their inimitable jazz touch. A new record is slated for 2006 and hopefully this track can tide eager fans over for a while. Not much has been released regarding the new record but if this track reveals anything about the Orchestra in 2006, it will be more of their trademark jazz mood psychedelia. This track is the closing number on a soon to be released BBE project called Exit Music: Songs with Radio Heads, a compilation of Radiohead tracks brilliantly interpreted by a mixed bag of unlikely artists including Rjd2, Mark Ronson (with Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet), Matthew Herbert, Sa-Ra, Bilal, Bad Plus and more. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was surpsringly impressed with my first listen.
