The 1994 album "dA dA dA" was something of a return to basics, with "traditional" songwriting largely replacing the quirkiness of recent Nits releases, and the group's early influences once again to the fore. The album was the first Nits material to gain a release in the United States. Ironically for a group that had always performed in English, regarding it as a necessary evil for international success, recognition in the major English-speaking markets always eluded them. "dA dA dA", despite critical acclaim in both the UK and USA, still failed to break the group in either market.
