Carboot Soul is the third studio album by Nightmares on Wax.[1] It was released in 1999 on Warp. It peaked at number 71 on the UK Albums Chart.[2] Early copies of the album were issued with a designer packet of Rizla rolling papers, which featured the album's artwork.[3]

The opening track and first single, "Les Nuits", is a revised version of Evelyn's tracks Nights Interlude and, subsequently, Nights Introlude, which were featured on the two previous albums respectively. The songs feature samples from the Quincy Jones version of the song Summer in the City. However, instead of using sampling and synthesized tracks like before, the song featured a full orchestral and live recording session, inspired by the samples, which was then mixed by Evelyn.
