Edit Music For A Film

"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."
Awesome music/film collage

"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.
