"We wanted to carry on writing more stuff while we were in the mood. I even cut Christmas dinner short at my uncle's in Brixton, London, so we could get back to the studio."
"One night in early 1996, my brother Paul and I stayed up all night drinking vodka, trying to write as many songs as we could, and we came up with much of the Big Calm album."
"The Sea was all set to come out as a single but the record company lost confidence, so it only came out as a white label for DJs."
"We were still seen as an underground band, but we were proud that Big Calm became a really successful album without having any hits on it."
The band worked tirelessly on their music while waiting for their first album's release. They created much of the Big Calm album during late-night sessions, including the song The Sea. Despite their hard work and the album's eventual double platinum status, the record company lost confidence in releasing The Sea as a single. The band remained proud of their success as an underground group, with Big Calm spending a year in the Top 40 without any hit singles.
