1/5
A collection of sad sacks from the Music to Paint By series with some lackluster new material. Even though Word records released the album, Allmusic Guide didn’t review it which is usually a bad sign. Cinemascapes is spacey dribble that manages to leave out almost all of the standout tracks from the original collection. Only “A Mother’s Son,” is worth the ticket here. The disc contains three new tracks including a decent slow blues number, “The Road Home.” Once again, however, a decent track is almost ruined by a drum machine. The aforementioned song and the new “For the Love,” appear as bonus tracks on the Bandcamp rerelease of Music to Paint By: Electric Blue. The additional new song, “Lighthouse,” is added as a bonus track to the Bandcamp rerelease of Music to Paint By: Splash.
