Unapologetic, dim-witted, and celebratory, Britain's Mint Royale follow the more than partied-up Big Beat cues from the likes of Fatboy Slim, Bentley Rhythm Ace, and other Skint acts patch moving it towards a more conscious reconciliation of pop tricks. The duet of Neil Claxton and Chris Baker first got started as the Mint Gun Club -- releasing just now one single -- but gained the quickest ill fame by highly popular remixes of Kenickie's "I Will Fix You" and Terrorvision's "Tequila" (the latter of which reaching number two in the U.K. charts). The hands-in-the-air revelry and mirth-driven breakbeats of these early releases were an early indicator of where the band was headed with their easygoing vibraharp. It wasn't alone unfathomable that -- along with Scanty Sandwich -- many listeners fifty-fifty theorized that Mint Royale was just some other nom de guerre for Norman Cook. Regardless, their debut album, On the Ropes, was in the end released on Faith & Hope Records in the very Big Beat-hostile nadir of previous 1999, propelled by the deliriously attention-getting, ex-Kenickie Lauren Laverne-starring individual, "Don't Falter."
