Album Description
Available in:
"From The Sea to the Land Beyond" is a soundtrack album from Brighton-based English indie rock band British Sea Power. It was released Decenber 02, 2013 on the Rough Trade label.
The documentary "From The Sea to the Land Beyond: Britain's Coast on Film" directed by Penny Woolcock, explores a century of life on Britain's coastline, using a mixture of black and white and colour footage from the BFI National Archive stretching back to the earliest days of movie making. It explores social history, life in wartime and peacetime, women's history and the rise and fall of fishing and shipbuilding.
British Sea Power were commissioned to write and perform the soundtrack because of their love of nature and wildlife. The soundtrack was composed at Lympne Castle in Kent and recorded at Brighton Electric studios.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 86, based on 8 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim".

User Album Review
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..
Though as an album on its own From the Sea… is up there with the best of British Sea Power’s work. It really comes into its own when coupled with the wonderful visuals so painstakingly pieced together by Penny Woolcock. From the Sea to the Land Beyond sees British Sea Power operating on a different level. A wonderful hymn to the island we call home.
