Leeds, United Kingdom (1997 – 2004)
Cinerama from Leeds, UK started life as a duo in 1997, The Wedding Present’s David Gedge and his girlfriend Sally Murrell, together with a shifting line-up of collaborators. 1998’s Va Va Voom “turbo-driven melodies and bittersweet vignettes taking in everything from John Barry to the Zombies” (The Times) featured The Church’s Marty Willson-Piper and Emma Pollock from The Delgados. Then later in 1998, Gedge rescued the rhythm section of the disbanded Goya Dress ([Terry de Castro and Simon Pearson) and combined them with Wedding Present guitarist Simon Cleave. From 2000 the line-up remained relatively steady, apart from Finnish drummer Kari Paavola replacing Pearson and Murrell’s eventual retirement from live performance.
Surely on pace to rival the abundant shelf filling of The Wedding Present, Cinerama released a clutch of singles in support of their debut LP, as well as a number prior to 2000’s Steve Albini-recorded Disco Volante “dangerously, seductively sweet” (Melody Maker). Notable were the heart-rending
Superman (complete with alternative Spanish take) and the six and a half minute epic Health and Efficiency (also available in French!).
The third Cinerama studio album, Torino (2002), was much darker than the first two, with Gedge returning to a guitar-driven sound and deciding to write predominantly about infidelity. “Cinerama are escaping the shadow of Gedge’s illustrious indie-legend past.

that new Peel sessions album is *so* great, esp. the TATU and Spiller covers. I am probably guilty of heresy here, but I actually like Cinerama more than The Wedding Present.
