When i listen this album at first time,i was overwhelmed.Particuraly first and second music are good.These supply me relux time.

For me this is one of the greatest albums ever made. I come back to it year after year and it still sounds fresh. Not to sound cheesy but it takes you on a journey. It is a complete album with each track complimenting each other. Fontella Bass' vocals are an instrument weaving together the beautiful compositions. If I ever do listen to one of these tracks in isolation its "All Things To All Men". Roots Manuva's adds an edge of the contemporary to what could otherwise be a record from the 70's. That being said it is well worth listening to John Barry (Petulia) and Carlos Santana & Alice Coltrane (Angel of Air) who have been sampled on "All Things To All Men" and "All That You Give" respectively. They're big old samples but that doesn't for a minute take anything away from how good Everyday is. A truly awesome album.

Yes. This album puts me somewhere else; there is just a tone, a vibe to this music that makes me think of city lights at night. . .and when those child vocals come in on the title track? Gets me every time.

Without a really good audio setup you will get distortions when playing this album... "All thing to all men" is recorded amazingly.

The album that got me into The Cinematics. Truly stunning.

thank you thank you thank you

The last track 'Every day' features a sample of a congalese choir from a 1958 album Missa Luba by Les Troubadours Du Roi Baudouin. What really spun me out is I found a copy of Missa Luba from a charity shop for 25p in 2001 and used the exact same track on a mix tape I did and had the idea of sampling it once I got the equipment... A year later and Cinematic Orchestra had beaten me to it! Not that I was dissapointed, to me it's pure synchronicity.

i thought it only had happened to me, but in my case it was that piano riff from Boyz II Men "All my Life" that i had also composed for a techno track of mine, but i was reeeely p.....d off :-P

What an album ! i love this it really gets the emotions going. Beautiful music by the Cinematic Orchestra as always but for this album they had the wonderful vocal talents of Fontella Bass. It really does bring tears to the eyes listening to this and that is exactly what Fontella bass was doing singing "all that you give" ...crying, as this song had special meaning to her as her husband had past away.

I met Mrs Bass at one of their concerts and she signed a copy of The art Ensemble of Chicago "Les Stances of Sophie", she spoke about the track "All that you give" being written about her husband, so i known how you may feel.

Everyday, the second album by the Cinematic Orchestra, finds them simultaneously condensing and expanding their sound. Their examination of mood is much more focused, but their song structure is more relaxed, allowing them to explore different riffs. Their addition of Fontella Bass to the roster lends a melancholy heft to “All That You Give,” while “Burn Out” is all about the delayed fireworks of the horn section. “Flite” picks up the tempo a bit, then “Evolution” gives us a funkified jazz spoken-word jam. “Man with the Movie Camera” is a direct descendant from Motion, while “Everyday” is an extended and moody work. A brilliant and evocative musical journey.

this music has a feature to flow - very consequent and "connecting". a masterpiece that involves, seduces and in a way imprisons. the most bewitching track - 2nd perhaps, super make-it-jazz (with fontella bass vocal - can't replace with any other) tracks - 1st and 4th ones, trippy and gracious 6th track led by roots manuva. tracks that left fill up the holes perfectly. some treat it as the best album of 2002 acid jazz/downtempo/wha'eva field.
