While the band gained some recognition when they first emerged on the scene it wasn’t until they leaned into more of a psychedelic, rock and dance sound that they broke through into the mainstream scene.

Their third album Screamadelica was released in 1991 and broke them into the mainstream, and sent their career on an upward trajectory. The album peaked at number eight on the UK Albums Chart.

The album received wide praise from critics, and has been frequently named one of the best albums of the 1990s in various polls. It won the first Mercury Music Prize in 1992.
