Curated by Jason Swinscoe and company, this carefully crafted mix captures the mood and depth that define The Cinematic Orchestra’s own work — an evocative blend of organic instrumentation, electronic atmospheres, and emotional storytelling. Their selections range from classic spiritual jazz and timeless soul to contemporary electronic textures and ambient landscapes, each track seamlessly woven into a cohesive narrative that unfolds like a late-night film score.

What sets this edition apart is its cinematic scope: it’s not just a mixtape but a fully realised journey through mood and memory, where pieces by the likes of Flying Lotus, Thom Yorke, Terry Callier, and Shuggie Otis sit comfortably alongside exclusive Cinematic Orchestra reworks and original interludes.

Deeply atmospheric, elegant, and meticulously curated, "LateNightTales" by The Cinematic Orchestra is often cited as one of the finest and most sophisticated volumes in the series — a lush, immersive experience that rewards repeated listening and remains essential for fans of soulful, thought-provoking music.
