Marc Ribot is widely recognized as one of the great<br>guitar originals his distinctively edgy and impassioned<br>sound can recently be found on albums by such diverse<br>musicians as Robert Plant/Alison Krauss, Norah Jones,<br>Allen Toussaint, McCoy Tyner, Marianne Faithful, John<br>Zorn, and The Black Keys. Silent Movies finds Ribot<br>taking another surprising step in a career filled with<br>unexpected turns.<br>Almost a polar opposite of his last release, Party<br>Intellectuals, Silent Movies is mostly filled with his<br>gorgeously contemplative compositions performed solo,<br>with minimal overdubs. The album reflects Ribot s<br>fascination with movies and contains pieces intended to<br>function as music for films: some adaptations of music<br>he has written for film, some for movies that he scored<br>that were never released, some for classic silent films<br>that he scored for his own amusement, and some for<br>films of his own imagination.
