Their biggest hit song "Missing" charted high in several countries and reached number two on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1995 and spent over seven months on the UK Singles Chart thanks to an extremely popular remix by Todd Terry which later led to a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single.
