The band recorded its first Peel Session in September 1999. Onuki thought John Peel looked like Santa Claus ; Agata has said that when finishing a new song, he still thinks of Peel and what he would think of it if he listened. Peel described the session as “Simply one of the most extraordinary performances I have ever seen and ever heard … just mesmerizing, absolutely astonishing.” The broadcast exposed the band to new audiences in the United Kingdom and beyond.
