The act initially captured critical and fan attention with their debut album "Motion" in 1999, which set the tone for their cinematic stylistic approach, and they continued to build upon their innovative sound with subsequent releases like "Every Day" in 2002 and the critically acclaimed "Ma Fleur" in 2007.

Their 2019 album, "To Believe," further cements The Cinematic Orchestra's legacy in the world of contemporary music. The album was met with widespread acclaim and showcases the group's continued exploration of lush soundscapes and emotive compositions, often featuring guest vocalists and a deft blending of genres. As a reflection of their lasting impact and evolution, the group has a growing collection of remixes, collaborations, and live session recordings that demonstrate their adaptability and influence on the music industry. The Cinematic Orchestra's capacity to create immersive sonic experiences has solidified their place as pioneers in the fusion of electronic and orchestral music, making them beloved by fans of diverse genres seeking depth and innovation in music.
