The Los Angeles-based outfit, The Crystal Method formed in 1993 by Ken
Jordan and Scott Kirkland as a part of the evolution of projects that
led them from their native Las Vegas, Nevada USA, to the West Coast where
they started performing in nightclubs and rave party; the duo's influences
ranged from Hard-Rock, Hip-Hop, Techno and Synth-Pop.
The Crystal Method debut full-length album, came out on Outpost Recordings,
a subsidiary of Geffen, in September 1997; it reached the #92 on The Billboard
200 chart thanks to the club success of "Keep Hope Alive" and
"Busy Child".
Jordan and Kirkland resurfaced four years later with "Tweekend",
an album which featured guest appearances by singer Scott Weiland from
Stone Temple Pilots and Rage
Against The Machine's guitarist Tom Morello; the set hit #6 on the
Top Canadian Albums chart and #32 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 list upon
its summer 2001 release; "Name Of The Game", the lead single
from the CD, peaked at #22 on The Modern Rock chart.
A year later the pair churned out a 16-track mix-album called "Community
Service"; "Legion Of Boom" followed in January 2004, reaching
the #36 slot on The Billboard 200, the duo's third full-length album was
preceded by the Modern Rock top 30 hit single "Born Too Slow",
on this track the guitar guest spot is reserved for Limp
Bizkit Wes Borland.
After over ten years of touring, both as a live act and as DJs, The Crystal
Method have scored their first feature film, "London"; they
contributed 8 brand new songs to the soundtrack including the single "Smoked".
