In the Nursery are an English neo-classical/martial electronica band, known for their cinematic sound. The duo has provided soundtracks to a variety of TV programmes and films, and is known for its rescoring of silent films. ==Career== Twin brothers Klive and Nigel Humberstone and guitar player Anthony Bennett formed this Sheffield-based band in 1981. Influenced by Joy Division, the trio originally tagged along with the UK's industrial music scene, releasing the six-track ''When Cherished Dreams Come True'' in June 1983. The "Witness (To A Scream)" single and ''Sonority'' EP followed before the band moved to the Sweatbox label for the fearsome ''Temper'' EP. The full-length ''Twins'' was recorded without the departed Bennett at Bradford's Flexible Response Studio. The album adopted a more subtle approach by favouring theatrical atmospherics over industrial clatter. Multi-lingual vocalist Dolores Marguerite C made her debut on the ''Trinity'' EP adding French narration to "Elegy'. Dolores and military-styled percussionist Q were added to the line-up on the subsequent ''Stormhorse'', the soundtrack to an imaginary film that provided the cinematic blueprint for all their future recordings. The quartet's final recording for Sweatbox, 1988's ''Köda'', completed the transition to a classical instrumental sound and utilised computer sequencing in the recording process for the first time. Following the collapse of Sweatbox, the band moved to Third Mind Records to complete the delicate ''L'Esprit''. The album was recorded with engineer Steve Harris who had contributed to ''Köda'' and would feature on all the band's subsequent releases. ''Sense'' and ''Duality'' were followed by a logical progression to real soundtrack work on 1993's psychological drama ''An Ambush of Ghosts''. Their music has also featured in ''Interview with the Vampire'', ''Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie'', and ''The Rainmaker''. In the late 90s the band was commissioned, as part of the Optical Music Series, to provide new scores for the silent classics ''The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'', ''Asphalt'', and ''Man with a Movie Camera''. ''Anatomy of a Poet'', a concept album about the creative psyche, featured author Colin Wilson reciting romantic poetry against a lush backdrop of strings, and also included a cover version of Scott Walker's "Seventh Seal". A retrospective compilation of their work was the first release on their own ITN Corporation label. Further concept albums have included ''Deco'' (inspired by the Art Deco movement) and the ambitious ''Lingua'', an exploration of language featuring vocal contributions from around the world. The Humberstones also record more dance-oriented material under the ''Les Jumeaux'' moniker, and as such were involved in pre-production work on Sabres of Paradise's classic techno anthem "Smokebelch". The 2011 release ''Blind Sound'' is a more consistently dark album from the Humberstone brothers and features more real percussion than previous releases.〔 In 2011, "White Robe" from ''An Ambush of Ghosts'' was used on a trailer for ''Game of Thrones''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「In the Nursery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
