英語による解説

ウィキペディア英語版からの引用

引用: Cast of Thousands is the second album by the band Elbow, released in 2003 by V2 Records. The album title refers to the song "Grace Under Pressure", whose refrain was recorded live at the Glastonbury Festival in 2002, as sung by the audience during the band 's set. Participants were then invited to register their names at the Elbow website, with all responders gaining a 'credit' on the album sleeve. The US version of the album contains two additional songs: "Whisper Grass" (which was a B-side to first single "Fallen Angel") and "Lay Down Your Cross" (a B-side to third single "Not a Job"). The Japanese version includes "Whisper Grass" and "Brave New Shave" (another "Fallen Angel" B-side) as bonus tracks. A companion film was also produced in conjunction with the album 's release. It features footage set to all 11 tracks on the album as well as the music videos for "Fallen Angel" and "Fugitive Motel." In the UK the film was released on DVD, whereas in the US it was released as an enhanced video bonus disc with the album.
