Other members include Tom Chant (saxophone), Phil France (double bass), Luke Flowers (drums), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar); former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums), Alex James (piano), and Patrick "PC" Carpenter (turntables).
In both live and studio context, the Cinematic Orchestra employ a live band which improvises along with a turntablist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. 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 electronics, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins. It is worth mentioning that in the sound of the Cinematic Orchestra the role of traditional solo instruments, such as piano or wind instruments, is not the same as in traditional jazz; instead of performing intricate solos they provide a mature accompaniment environment and quite often there is more space for the drums and the double bass to have a lead role.
The Cinematic Orchestra have been noted for their new score to the classic 1929 Dziga Vertov's Ukrainian film "Man with a Movie Camera". They have worked on two other scores: they recorded some tracks for "Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d'enfants" (2004) and made the music for the Disney Nature movie "The Crimson Wing" (2009).
The Cinematic Orchestra released their latest album "Ma Fleur" on 7th May 2007. The album features vocals from Patrick Watson, Fontella Bass and Lou Rhodes. In 2010 their compilation Late Night Tales followed.
They have started their own record label: Motion Audio Records. One record has been released by Lou Rhodes. More releases will follow, including Grey Reverend.

Burn Out
The Cinematic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't come around...
But when the money's gone...
They don't come around...
The Cinematic Orchestra's Burn Out is a powerful song that talks about the temporary nature of relationships based solely on materialistic possessions. The lyrics go, "But when the money's gone, They don't come around". This signifies that when a person's wealth, economic status or materialistic possessions fade away, people who were attracted to them for those very reasons tend to disappear as well. This can hold true for platonic, romantic or any other kind of relationships where superficial attractions rule over deeper connections.
The song's melancholic tone, coupled with its soulful music, adds to the poignancy of the lyrics. This song talks about how people change and how relationships can become hollow when they're based entirely upon financial or material wealth. Despite the use of very few words, the message conveyed in these lyrics is incredibly powerful, allowing the listener to reflect on their own connections and values.

But when the money's gone...
In times of financial distress...
They don't come around...
...people are less likely to offer support and assistance.

after nearly 13 years I finally found this song again. I had it on repeat in Afghanistan and helped me mellow out so so many times.
