biography

Pnau -- featuring Brisbane school buddies Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes -- were not the typical Aussie music act when they first hit the stage during the mid-'90s. Instead of rock, they played acid house and trance. In a changing climate down under, however, in which dance music was gaining strength, the duo swiftly won plenty of fans and respect. By the time Pnau were ready to put out their debut album, they had gravitated toward deep house, funk, and hip-hop with Latin and jazz flavors. The album, titled Sambanova, was released in 1999 by Warner and made a big splash on Australia's underground music scene. However, as a result of problems with the copyright of some of the samples used on the album, the record company decided to re-release it. The new version of Sambanova came out in 2001, minus two tracks included on the original, "Arthur's Pizza" and "Disc One," but boasting three fresh numbers: "Journey Agent," "Ordinary Day," and "Searchin'." ~ David Peter Wesolowski, All Music Guide
