Background

Pnau released their debut album Sambanova in 1999 under the small independent Peking Duck label. It was recorded in a bedroom studio and they only expected to sell a few thousand copies.[4] A week before winning the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release the album Sambanova was pulled from record stores for uncleared samples. In a 2003 interview with The Age newspaper's Andrew Drever, Mayes recalled that they had no understanding of sample clearances due to their naivety in the music business.[5] Mayes claimed that they had no inkling that they would win an ARIA award but that the album's recall did seriously affect their commercial sales.[5] Warner Music Australasia re-released the album in 2000 with a different track listing, and it peaked in the Top 40 on the ARIA Albums Chart in June.[2] Pnau toured nationally for the Big Day Out in 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2011.
