From the sea to the land beyond

"Taking their cues from the nostalgia-tinged visuals, British Sea Power's largely (but not solely) instrumental score is a weighty slab of almost symphonic post-rock. Like the crashing waves on screen, the score ebbs and flows, masterfully narrating through song the tumult of twentieth-century-Britain ... As an album on its own From the Sea... is up there with the best of British Sea Power's work".

"Dotted with intelligently applied sound effects and bits of newsreel narration, From the Sea to the Land Beyond often recalls Rachel's' post-rock masterpiece The Sea and the Bells in its evocative impact and thoughtful embrace of elements outside the palette of most rock bands; this isn't rock & roll, but what it is is something very special, and this is the rare film soundtrack that works nearly as well on its own as it does accompanying another artist's images".
