Artist History IN THE NURSERY are based around the writing nucleus of twin brothers Klive and Nigel Humberstone, augmented for studio & live work by multi-lingual vocalist Dolores Marguerite C. and military drummer/percussionist Q.ITNÕs musical history spans 19 years an d documents their desire for progress and experimentation. Their unique electronic works represent a blending of the symphonic with the modern, the ambient with the danceable and the acoustic with the synthetic.Formed in 1981, their debut release WHEN CHE RISHED DREAMS COME TRUE (1983) marked the beginning of a career that has produced over 230 recorded works encompassing landmark albums such as TWINS (1986), LÕESPRIT (1989), SENSE (1991), ANATOMY OF A POET (1993), DECO (1996) & LINGUA (1998) - albums whic h have both consolidated their distinctive sound whilst taking on board new influences. The 'filmic' nature of ITNÕs music is forever evident - an aspect utilised to great effect in AN AMBUSH OF GHOSTS (1993), their first feature film soundtrack and cont inued through their various TV and film commissions including ÔRandom HeartsÕ, ÔInterview with The VampireÕ, ÔThe Sweet HereafterÕ, ÔLa Femme NikitaÕ & ÔThe RainmakerÕ, as well as in their own Optical Music releases THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1996), ASP HALT (1997), MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (1999) & HINDLE WAKES (2001). These new scores for classic silent films have been accompanied by live performance screenings at independent cinemas throughout Europe. Forthcoming independent films 'Underground' (UK) & ÔXXLÕ (Germany) also feature music by In The Nursery.IN THE NURSERY now operate through their own ITN Corporation label, allowing them greater artistic freedom and the opportunity to diversify as seen to great effect in their LES JUMEAX side-project rel eases FEATHERCUT (1996) & COBALT (1997).The latest album GROUNDLOOP features 8 new tracks taking ITNÕs unique filmic music to the next level; moments of intense orchestral percussion, passages of unnerving beauty and vocals courtesy of linguist Dolores Marguerite C.

Press Reviews IN THE NURSERYGroundloopcat no: corp022(cd ITN Corporation)The unique avante-gardist entity In The Nursery are alreadyback with a new full length album. Bringing a new chapter to the band's continuum of finesse, "Groundloop" is once again that kind of irr esistible album only ITN are able to produce. Filmic flowing soundscapes, seductive classical instrumentation's, dedicated classically trained singing, poignant orchestralpercussion's and emotionally charged atmospheres. Althoughit's always been very diff icult to classify the music of In The Nursery as any particular style, they always managed to entertain a fairly representative and constant image while developing their own sound, image and vision. I perceive"Groundloop" as the culmination of unclassifia ble seductivemusic experiences acquired over the years that merge together to make one..., somehow like pieces of a puzzle united to make one beautiful and yet, still undefinable collage of emotions. "Groundloop" is by far the richest album in feelings an d colours the Humberstone brothers have ever composed. Elementsof orchestra enter in harmony with filmic ambience of anundisputed quality cradled by the enchanting vocals of Dolores Marguerite C. And if you still don't have a clear image of what i've been trying to describe here, just enter the wonderful world of "Groundloop" where ITN will guide you into therealms of splendid tracks like "Groundloop", "Chronicle" oreven the so dense and carrying "Hymn Noir". A pure chef d'oeuvre confirming the status of a living legend: In The Nursery.a
