Both charted quite well in the UK, with the third album going to the #94. In addition to their original electronic tracks, the group has been known to remix the work of other artists, such as Depeche Mode, Björk, and Sigur Rós. After many of the founding members left in 1999, they released Gus Gus vs. T-World in 2000, Attention in 2002, Forever in 2007, 24/7 in 2009, Arabian Horse in 2011, and Mexico in 2014.
