After the Moonshine releases, Oversoul 7 signed a demo deal with A&M records recording demos of "Truth From Fiction", "Never the Same", and "Last Girl on Earth", all songs which ended up on the now classic "Supreme Beings of Leisure" debut album (released on Palm Pictures label).
The release of the first Supreme Beings of Leisure album sold over 250,000 units with very little promotional touring. Instead, SBL opted to use the internet to market and promote the album, becoming the first band ever to do a "Virtual Internet Tour", and was among the first to use Flash animation for their videos, making them the first true "Internet Band" of the new millennium.
After the release of their debut album, the group disbanded. The core duo of Soriano-Lightwood and Sakurai, however, released the second SBL album "Divine Operating System" shortly thereafter in 2002. In 2003, SBL left Palm Pictures, taking a three year hiatus, releasing various remixes and appearing on various other artists' albums. In 2006, Supreme Beings of Leisure started writing material which coalesced into a new album, the highly anticipated 11i.

Supreme Beings of Leisure Lyrics
I've been accused I've been abused
Sometimes missused and yes confused
A loaded pen I dip again
Another trigger happy friend
I don't know why I continue to fly
In the face of reason
Something inside me just clicked
Like a tick from an awful season
Under the gun under the gun
I'm swimming through the sun
And I ain't tripping on a thing
Under the gun under the gun
I'm swimming through the sun
I ain't tripping on a thing
I've been afraid to drive at night
I've been a sinner such a lonely sight
Not qualified not rarified
I persevere I give it all my might
I don't know why you continue to cry
That I'll never make it
At least there's some truth
To the fact that you know I just cannot fake it
Under the gun under the gun
I'm swimming through the sun
I ain't tripping on a thing
Under the gun under the gun
I'm swimming through the sun
I ain't tripping on a thing
Under the gun under the gun
I'm swimming through the sun
I ain't tripping on a thing
Under the gun under the gun
I'm swimming through the sun
I ain't tripping on a thing ...
