On their full-length debut, the Scots band the Cinematics recall the early-1980s bass heavy dance grooves of bands like New Order and Simple Minds, notably on the angst-ridden "Break" and the rolling, percussive "Asleep At the Wheel," though "Rise and Fall" cruises along on the crest of a contemporary sounding hypnotic wave of rhythm guitar, with singer Scott Rinning sounding like a cross between the Cure's Robert Smith and Coldplay's Chris Martin.
