    No doubt!  The Cinematic Orchestra album Motion is off the hook.  Deep deep deep throughout.  I was shocked when I pumped up my system on Diabolus, that bass, the vocals! musical bliss yo! I was probably heard for blocks.  A while back I said I wasnt too into their remix album, but by now it's grown on me though I still like Motion better.  I have Motion on cd and have no problems letting it play straight through.  I've played it around older people in their 50's and 60's and even they enjoyed it asking who made it while ignoring other stuff I played.  Motion IS proof jazz is not dead.  Check it!

    Beau.
