However, the album was pulled from record stores due to uncleared samples;[1] Warner Music Australasia re-released it in August 2001 with a different track listing, and it peaked in the top 40 of the ARIA Albums Chart.[2]

The album won an ARIA Music Award for Best Dance Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2000.[3]

Background

Pnau released their debut album Sambanova in July 1999 under the small independent Peking Duck label. It was recorded in a bedroom studio and Pnau declared they only expected to sell "a few thousand copies".[4] It was re-released in June 2000 by Warner Music Australasia however the album was pulled from record stores for uncleared samples and re-released in an altered format by Warner Music Australasia in August 2001.[5] 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.[6]

Pnau toured nationally for the Big Day Out in 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2011.
