Late Night Cinema is an instrumental album by hip hop production/electronica duo Blue Sky Black Death, released on April 29, 2008 through Babygrande Records[6]. The project is the group's second proper studio album, after 2006's A Heap of Broken Images. Between recording, the duo recorded two collaboration albums with rappers Holocaust and Hell Razah, titled The Holocaust and Razah's Ladder, respectively. Shortly after the release of The Holocaust, the duo already announced plans for their second instrumental album, and released a number of tracks from the project through MySpace and an URB Podcast [7]. The tracks "Ghosts Among Men" and "Private Death on a Quiet Eve" were featured on the duo's 2007 mixtape Dirtnap [8].
