cinematic orchestra - all that you give
Originally posted by wormwoodI have no idea if I've heard it sampled anywhere, but if you find out, let me know. The whole "Ma Fleur" album is really excellent. One of my favorites from Ninja Tune.

"All That You Give" is another great track! I'm also a big fan of that album.
There's an excellent free podcast on itunes (Ninja Podcast #4) with about an hour of live tracks from Cinematic Orchestra and interviews with band members. (The Amon Tobin one is also good.)
Originally posted by wormwoodYou're not mixing up the vocalist with the singer from Anthony and the Johnsons, are you? I think they're near identical, although I much prefer the Ma Fleur vocalist.

[PREPOST EDIT] I had written the above, when I decided to look for an example, and realised that there is a fairly big difference. Ah well...

Are there any original songs in the Vanilla Sky OST? I thought it was just a compilation... (a good one, but still...)

Once is compiled of mostly original music.
This is one of my faves.

Pretty. What did you think of the movie? (I haven't seen it)
The acting or cinematography wasn't exactly top notch, but I really appreciated the story, for which the music was amazing. I thought the story was superb, although I must admit I was able to associate with many of the themes, which a non-Iirsh person mightn't.
It's a tale of two young people, a shy Irish busker and a Polish immigrant. The busker is quite isolated and disenfranchised from the world around him which I think is common in modern day Ireland. Young male suicide is at a very high level these days in Ireland due in large part to lack of communication skills. While the movie doesn't deal directly with this theme, the male lead definitely fits the profile (IMHO).
Also, there is a lot of suspicion amongst the Irish nation with regards the flood of immigrants recently. That part of the story is very topical and well told.
I'm also glad that a budget movie is so good, as it shows prospective movie makers that you don't need millions and big studio backing to make a superb movie. Hopefully, that'll inspire more people as I'm pretty sick of your typical hollywood blockbuster.
I'm also probably slightly biased, seeing as I have been a big fan of Hansard for a long time, since he used to busk in my home town. My better half sang this song with them(Hansard's band, The Frames) in front of 3000 people during rag week in college...

I'm now beginning to think that maybe it was in some movie instead?
