Now how do you follow a story like that?

Ma Fleur vs The Fountain

Travelling from Birth through Life to Death and Birth again (oh, do read on...), Ma Fleur, the new album by The Cinematic Orchestra, is a concept album (stay with me here) dealing with loss and love.
And in more than one way, it's not dissimilar to Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. Not only did it deal with the same topics, but they were both met with some mixed reviews.
Which is puzzling to me. If you haven't been completely consumed by cynicism and irony over everything that tries to deal with basic human emotions, you will find both the film and the album very rewarding.
Of course there are scenes in the film that feel wrong, and yes, the opener of the album sounds like a Coldplay track (and boy, do I hate Coldplay), but on the whole, both of these are magnificent pieces of work that will stand the test of time by 2 artists that lead in their field. And in both, the last scene is the strongest one, the one that pulls it all together and makes sense of it all. In the Fountain, it's the Heaven scene ("Is everything alright?" - "Yes, everything is alright."), in Ma Fleur, the achingly beautiful Time and Space, featuring Lou Rhodes of Lamb fame on vocals.
