It's been a long time since Corker Conboy first registered disturbances on our radar, their "In Light Of That Learnt Later" album proving to be a constant office favourite since its release back in 2003. This unexpected release, written and conceived as a soundtrack to Florian Hoffmeister's acclaimed "3° Kalter" film, sees Corker Conboy head into a much more orchestral, widescreen setting, making use of harps, strings, piano, marimbas and delicately woven electronic arrangements. Performed by the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, no less, the quality of the playing here is absolutely exemplary, effortlessly managing to retain a deep emotional cache alongside the masterful musicianship on display. Elements of the recording bring to mind the work of contemporary soundtrack artists Cliff Martinez and of course Michael Nyman, the beautifully sparse instrumentation and careful, subtle melodic touches managing to embody a rich tapestry of imagery, regardless of any frame of reference to the film itself. Indeed the evocative weight of the music here brings to mind Martinez' own work for the 'Solaris' OST, high praise indeed for a pair of producers new to the film scoring arena. Following on from a long list of magical albums tagged with the 'imaginary soundtrack' subheading, here's a collection of music actually set to moving imagery, and one of the most musically rewarding excursions of its kind. Highly recommended.
