When I introduced “Entr’acte” by The Cinematic Orchestra tonight, I apologised in advance for the fact that I would innevitably have to fade it out.  I couldn’t possibly play all 20 minutes of it, could I..? To do so would mean leaving out several other excellent tunes, and how could I possibly justify that?   However, as it played, I felt the opposite, I couldn’t possibly justify fading out something of such beauty.

‘Entr’acte‘, is taken from In Motion #1, the new album curated by The Cinematic Orchestra, and acts as a new soundtrack to René Clair’s 1924 short film of the same name.  Watch it in full here:

And here is something else you should feast your ears on, the tune I opened tonight’s show with, from the new El-P album:
