Amazon.co.uk Review
There's an old music press adage that second albums are notoriously "difficult". If this were true, then by rights Everyday should be one big disappointment. That fact that it's arguably one of 2002's finest jazz albums (yes, jazz--as in real, old fashioned, clarinets and trumpets type jazz) just goes to prove how talented Jason Swinscoe's Cinematic Orchestra are. Following up their impeccable debut, Motion, was always going to be tough, but here they've surpassed themselves. While the former was a fusion of sample-culture smoky, backroom jazz, Everyday is jazz pure and simple--old jazz for the nu-jazz generation. "Man With the Movie Camera", "Burnout" and "Flite" are near-perfect soundtrack jazz pieces--epic, shuffling, ever shifting--while "All That You Give" and "Evolution" feature the enchanting vocals of legendary soul singer Fontella Bass. Best of all, though, is the Roots Manuva collaboration "All Things to All Men"--proof that jazz and rap aren't as strange bedfellows as some may think. It's spellbinding stuff, and sure to be one of 2002's finer albums. --Matt Anniss

Almost Perfect December 16, 2008

I personally could never choose one album as a favourite of all time: but if I was forced this would be a seriously strong contender. I still regularly listen to this album in 2008, and to me it sounds as fresh now as it did when it was released. The tracks are beautifully crafted, the production is astounding and the musicianship is second-to-none. To me this album is my Fortress of Solitude: a bolt-hole where I can view the world in Bullet Time for a short while. I cannot recommend this album enough.

First class album, but if anything, the stand out track is the colaboration with Roots Manuva.

Well i was more into Roots Manuva then the jazz type, but when it came up with Cinematic Orchestra, i thought it was some kind of Live recording. But it must the most awesome song i have ever heard. It is truely mezmerizing.....i would never listen to this kinda music..but All Things To All Men just blew me into space.

the fatness of sound and instrumentation hits you up in the back of the head and stays there...remarkable peice of work. a feeling of real cool, uber calm and remorseless mellow tention! in 'all things to all men' i could think of no better guest than roots manuva, a true wordsmith of our time, serves another gorgeous pot full of clever lyric, melodic chorus and all of this executed with expert timing. hats off, with no exception. umaru 35ydbeatexperiment www35yd.com
What would the BEEB do without this album? February 16, 2006

If you've ever wondered where the BBC sound mixer gets all the laid back link music -It's this album or Zero7 'when it falls'.
Despite getting annoyed with the BBC for being less than imaginative, this recording is brilliant. It is never far from my car and chills me well on the way to work. It is always a pleasure to listen to. I am waiting patiently for the next masterclass in supreme chill.
