"It was a true joy working with The Crystal Method to create this title," said JeffSkillen, Vice President of DTS Entertainment. "Ken and Scott are great advocates of surround sound, and really recognize how the technology can enhance all genres ofmusic."

Since Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland left their native Las Vegas and started releasing indie 12" singles in the mid-nineties, The Crystal Method's bass-fortified, hard-rolling concoctions have marked them out as leaders of theAmerican dance scene. Vegas, their 1997 major label debut, melded pounding beatswith hard rock dynamics, but the most distinctive sound it made was that of ground being broken. Having spent years on the road - playing just about every club andfestival, and licensing their music out to everything from video games to majormovie blockbusters - The Crystal Method returned to record shelves in 2001 with Tweekend, which saw the duo collaborating with heavyweights like Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello and Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland. In no time, The Crystal Method sold 1.5 million albums and became America's number one electronic band.

Instead of rushing back to the studio, however, the group prepared for their next release, Legion Of Boom, by getting back to their roots. Jordan and Kirkland returned to the clubs for a series of DJ dates, put together their first mix album,Community Service, and tried out some of their ideas on live audiences at everyopportunity. By the time the basic tracks for Legion Of Boom were laid down inJanuary 2003, the music once again sounded exactly like The Crystal Method, and no one else. Spontaneous, defiant, intense, loud and occasionally insane, Legion Of Boom was released in January 2004 on V2 Records. For more information, go to www.thecrystalmethod.com .
