UNKLE - End Titles: Stories For Film reviewJames Lavelle's proyecto mayor has paired him with some greats in the past; ranging from DJ Shadow to Massive Attack. This alone sets a standard of quality in UNKLE's production—and their new album, titled End Titles...Stories for Film, lives up to this quality in odd, but clear ways.

A compilation of stacked songs recorded by UNKLE over the past two years that were inspired by the moving image, it is like a soundtrack that belongs to no particular film.

Not quite the fourth proper UNKLE full-length, End Titles...Stories for Film is a collection of tracks taken from the shelf (or elsewhere) after the completion of War Stories in 2007.

It includes several pieces of soundtrack work from Odyssey in Rome (a documentary that focused on director Abel Ferrara and the making of his film Mary) as well as UNKLE's BMW advert hit "Trouble in Paradise (Variations on a Theme)." But End Titles...Stories for Film wears the signs of its creation poorly, unlike the quite-good odds'n'sods collection More Stories, which despite its high quality was released only in Australia....full text
