Wall of Sound

The original release of Decksandrumsandrockandroll features 13 tracks.

Most tracks are instrumental pieces of big beat, breakbeat and trip-hop, sometimes with vocal samples. The exception is "History Repeating", which features vocals from veteran singer Shirley Bassey.

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is a collaboration with composer David Arnold and his orchestra. It is a remix of John Barry's theme from the James Bond film of the same name which also features a cue from his score for You Only Live Twice (beginning at 4'42").

All tracks were produced by Will White and Alex Gifford. "Take California" was the first song to be used in an iPod advertising campaign, appearing in the first commercial for the original model and, in general, the first iPod commercial.

"History Repeating" was used in a Pantene Pro-V shampoo commercial and on the 1998 Jaguar S-type commercial. An instrumental version was also the theme music to UK programme So Graham Norton broadcast on Channel 4 between July 1998 to March 2002.

"Bang On" was featured in the Nintendo 64 game Wipeout 64 and the first episode, "The Sofa," of sitcom 15 Storeys High. It also appeared on the soundtrack to the 1998 film Lost in Space.

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was also featured in full on Tony Hawk's prominent skateboarding movie titled "The End."

Famous quotes containing the words wall and/or sound:

    ...there is a difference between being convinced and being stubborn. I’m not certain what the difference is, but I do know that if you butt your head against a stone wall long enough, at some point you realize the wall is stone and that your head is flesh and blood.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    Homer and Shakespeare and Milton and Marvell and Wordsworth are but the rustling of leaves and crackling of twigs in the forest, and there is not yet the sound of any bird. The Muse has never lifted up her voice to sing.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
