==Career== Based in the UK, the two musicians set out to create a [[multimedia]] project that would encompass a CD, DVD and cinematic presentation that would offer a complete artistic statement. The project offers music, [[Digital data|digital]] video footage shot over the course of six months by Catto and Bridgeman, [[image]]s, rhythms and [[spoken word]] content. The band was signed to the Palm record label and its [[1 Giant Leap (album)|eponymous CD]] was released on 9 April 2002. It features contributions from [[Dennis Hopper]], [[Kurt Vonnegut]], [[Michael Stipe]], [[Robbie Williams]], [[Eddi Reader]], [[Tom Robbins]], [[Brian Eno]], [[Baaba Maal]], [[Speech (rapper)|Speech]], [[Asha Bhosle]], [[Neneh Cherry]], [[Anita Roddick]], [[Michael Franti]], [[Zap Mama]], and other artists and authors. The band's [[theme (literary)|theme]] for the project is "Unity Through Diversity". A [[making-of]] was also shown on the [[Discovery Channel (UK & Ireland)|Discovery Channel]], which featured some of the effort involved in finding and working with the musicians and other people involved in the project. 1 Giant Leap's "[[My Culture]]" video for their first top ten single, featuring Robbie Williams and [[Maxi Jazz]] from [[Faithless]], received extensive airplay. In 2004, they moved on to a deal with [[Simon Fuller]] and [[19 Entertainment]] to make a second film and album titled ''What About Me?'' The concept was the same as their initial CD and DVD—travelling the world interviewing artists and sampling music—though the second time around their journey was longer (four years) and doubling the number of contributing artists from their debut release.
