The strength of their debut single Keep Hope Alive - now one of the most-remixed dance tracks - saw them signed to Outpost Recordings. Their debut album Vegas was released in 1997 and achieved significant mainstream success with its blend of electronic, rock and hip-hop influences. A re-working of Trip Like I Do featuring rock band Filter appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Spawn and achieved significant radio airplay.
Their second album, Tweekend, was released in 2001, and featured guest appearances from guitarist Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) and singer Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver). This was followed in 2002 by a mix CD entitled Community Service. Their third studio album, Legion of Boom, followed in 2004, and Community Service II was released in 2005.
The Crystal Method also wrote the score and produced the soundtrack for the film London (2006). And work has begun on a second movie score, After is its current title.
They had 4 songs on the FIFA '98: Road To World Cup Video Game: More, Now Is The Time, Keep Hope Alive and Busy Child. In 2002 The Crystal Method's single Name of the Game was the theme song and featured in the credits of the hit video game Splinter Cell. Also, the track Born Too Slow appeared in the demo and full version of the game Need for Speed: Underground. The PSX game Nitrous Oxide (N2O) features the Vegas album in its entirety as the soundtrack.
In 2008 they teamed up with Nike to release a compilation album, Drive, featuring a 45 minute seamless mix of some of their most famous songs and remixes. This set, with its constant BPM, was aimed at long distance runners. Drive also features some new tracks.
The Crystal Method also wrote the theme tune to the Fox tv series Bones staring David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel and it's become a big dance floor hit in the UK.

The lyrics to The Crystal Method's "Remix" consist of a repeated message, "This transmission is coming to you," which is followed by the affirmation that "we've got it." These two phrases are then intermingled with the repeated statement, "Alright you are go," and a few more affirmations of having "it" and seeing the Earth.
While the meaning of the lyrics is not explicitly stated, they can be interpreted as a message of assurance that the listener is receiving a message or transmission. The repetition of "we've got it" could suggest that the sender of the transmission has successfully conveyed their message, or that they are confident in their abilities to do so. The repetition of "Alright you are go" could suggest that the listener has received the message and is ready to act on it.
Overall, the lyrics to "Remix" are simple and repetitive, but they create an intense and hypnotic atmosphere that is characteristic of The Crystal Method's style. The repeated phrases and pulsing electronic beats create a sense of anticipation and urgency, as if something important is about to happen.
