In 1996, they released the "Bangladesh EP" on Nation Records and performed at that year's World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival, where they caught the attention of Peter Gabriel and subsequently signed to his Real World label the following year. They remixed "Sweet Pain", a track by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, for inclusion on the "Star Rise" tribute album in 1997. They released the limited-edition single "Fingers" in December 1998. A Justin Robertson remix was popular on the club scene and paved the way for the follow-up, "Asian Vibes", issued in 1999. The debut album "One and One Is One" was released in March 1999.
