It gained ill fame the next month by providing a remix for Enslaved composer David Arnold's Bond benefit album Shaken & Stirred covering John Barry's ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service the theme song to the sixth James Bond film, re-orchestrated by Arnold. A only History Repetition followed, the collaboration by owning jazz diva Shirley Bassey, fusing big beat by having jazz. Their lone album up to now is Decksandrumsandrockandroll (1998), released by Wall of Healthy in the UK & Europe & DreamWorks in the U.s.a. & Japan. A Dreamworks versions include collaborations sustaining hip hop veterans De La Soul and Jungle Brothers, and a Japanese version occurs as sought-when Ii Disc Favorite Edition including a few of their earliest singles. a track from either the album, Spybreak!, became widely known when its utilize in the renowned lobby scene in The Matrix. Fallowing touring for their hit album, May White fell sick. It freed Extended Play EP inside 1998, & in the song Props' Vote Of Gratitude, Alex Gifford raps first, explaining to a attentive attender that the band would "be back after this short break". Items later went quietly in the Propellerheads camp. Alex moved to New York and produced the Jungle Brothers 1999 Album V.I.P. Where he raps alongside A Black Eyed Peas among others and May White will bring a drums for the eponymic track. He has too produced the track for Rufus Wainwright (Shadows) on his 2001 album Poses. White has since discharged the mix compilation for the Beatz & Bobz'' series, & he has as well appeared as a member of the De-Fex music design. , while Gifford provided the mix Video for the 2nd disc. Amazingly the number one track thereon disc was a recently song by Propellerheads featuring British rapper Livingroom Johnston, entitled "10 Years" these are the cool, placed back foul tune using the catchy riff.
