Kosheen achieved international success with their debut single Hide U, which reached #6 in UK official chart. Their debut album "Resist" (released in 2001), a powerful mixture of drum'n'bass, trip-hop, chillout, hip-hop-inspired beats and traditional singer-songwriter production, was warmly accepted by both critics and audience and later went "platinum" in the UK.
With their second LP "Kokopelli", Kosheen changed their music style and turned to more rock-oriented tunes mixed with electronica & trip-hop. The first single from the album, "All In My Head", became a huge hit, reached #7 in UK chart and the album went "gold".
Kosheen are also known for their classy gigs, gathering thousands of people from all over the world. The band's live sound is slighty different from their studio production. They have just finished a successful UK tour and are performing throughout Europe to December 07. Live they are augmented by Mitch Glover on live drums and Gary Eccles on keys (on session)
Sian was involved in some side projects, including collaborations with Bent (tracks "I Can’t Believe It’s Over" and "Sunday Boy" on Bent’s cd "Ariels") and Cajun jazz band Root Doctors. Her vocals can also be heard on Decoder’s composition “Defenseless” (off his “Dissection” album), recorded before Kosheen was formed.
The band's third album "Damage" was released in the UK on Moksha on 10th September 2007. Damage is a mixture of inspirations from electronic influence from "Resist" and guitar tunes from "Kokopelli". The sound of "Damage" mixes elements of dark electro, synthpop, downtempo, vocal, electronica.
Kosheen has announced a new release for February 2012 called: Independence. Samples & full versions of tracks (Waste, Belladonna) appearing on this can be found @ Soundcloud.

Kosheen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To set the tone, sit back and wait
The lyrics of Kosheen's song "Demonstrate" are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest a desire for action and a willingness to take control of one's life. The singer envisions themselves demonstrating something, perhaps their talents or abilities, and replicating their success time and time again. By doing this, they hope to "set the tone," or establish a certain energy or atmosphere that others can follow.
However, the singer also acknowledges the need to sometimes "sit back and wait." This could suggest an understanding of the importance of patience and timing, as well as a recognition that not every opportunity or situation is within their control. In order to truly demonstrate their worth and replicate their success, they must be strategic and deliberate in their actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Demonstrate" blend themes of ambition and determination with a sense of practicality and wisdom. The singer is not content to simply wait for success to come to them; they are willing to work hard and take risks to achieve their goals, but they also understand the need for balance and careful planning.

Decoder and Substance are something special. Only other duo to rival them from back in the day is probably Konflict IMO.
