Their debut album, Motion, was released in 1999. In their studio releases Swinscoe will often remix the live source material to produce a finished product that is a seamless combination of live jazz improvisation with electronica, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins. The Cinematic Orchestra's sound, in both live and studio contexts, employs a live band which improvises along with a turntablist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. In 1994, Swinscoe was given a DJ spot on Heart FM, a pirate radio station in south London. Swinscoe first formed a group called Crabladder in 1990, whilst studying Fine Art at Cardiff College, releasing one official single on his own Power Tools label. The most recent addition to the band is Mancunian guitarist Stuart McCallum. Daniel Howard (drums), Alex James (piano), and Patrick Carpenter on turntables. Former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. In addition to Swinscoe, the band includes former DJ Food member, Luke Flowers (drums), Tom Chant (Saxophone), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar) and Phil France (double bass).
The band is signed to Ninja Tune independent record label.
