In 1991, Praga Khan met Oliver Adams and along with Jade 4U, formed the production team MNO (comprised of the first letter of their forenames). Shortly after, they produced a series of popular British rave hits. The most popular, "Injected With A Poison", which hit the #16 spot in the UK and #1 in Japan.
While taking a break from his several side projects, Praga Khan released his first studio album, "Conquers Your Love", in 1996. Several albums followed a little while later; Pragamatic in 1998, Twenty First Century Skin in 1999, Mutant Funk in 2000, Mixed Up in 2001 and Freakazoidz in 2002.
A lucky break also happened when Paul Verhoeven, during the shooting of Basic Instinct, walked into "The Limelight" disco in New York, looking for a song for his movie. When the track "Rave the Rhythm" was played, he stepped up to the DJ and asked who that was. The song was included on the soundtrack, after which a whole bunch of other movies followed including Sliver, Virtuosity, Strange Days, Bad Lieutenant and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Praga Khan also worked on the soundtrack for the first Mortal Kombat game and the first movie's popular "Techno Syndrome" (the de facto Mortal Kombat theme) under the moniker "The Immortals"; thus also responsible for the camp classic line from the Sub-Zero theme, "Chinese ninja warrior, with your heart so cold..."
Contribution to the theatrical scene was made with his musical collaborations in The Next Dimension (2005) and Code Red.

Praga Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You promised me a miracle
But life can be so cruel
I've put my trust in you
You promised me the Moon
You promised me a miracle
But I've been such a fool
I have been such a fool
You promised me the Moon
You promised me a miracle
But I've been such a fool
To put my trust in you
I have been such a fool
The lyrics of Praga Khan's song "The Moon" expresses disappointment and heartbreak towards someone who made promises of grandeur, but ultimately failed to deliver. The repeated lines "You promised me the Moon, you promised me a miracle" emphasize the extent of the commitment made by the other person, and the trust that was placed in them. However, the harsh reality of life is acknowledged with the line "But life can be so cruel", which hints at the possibility of unforeseen circumstances that could have prevented the promises from being fulfilled.
The repetition of the chorus line "I've been such a fool to put my trust in you" indicates that the singer may have been blinded by their love or loyalty for the other person, and may have neglected to see any warning signs that the promises might not be kept. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and disappointment as the singer realizes that the promised "miracle" will not happen.
Overall, "The Moon" is a song that explores the painful feeling of broken promises and misplaced trust, and serves as a reminder to be cautious when making commitments to others.
