The Crystal Method is an American electronic music duo consisting of Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland. Along with The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, and a few other acts, they are pioneers of the big beat electronic dance genre, and one of its few American proponents. Their fourth studio album, Divided by Night, is due out in May 2009. Although Jordan and Kirkland are both from Las Vegas, Nevada, the band was formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1993.[1] The Crystal Method did most of their earlier production work in an underground shelter referred to as "The Bomb Shelter" in the front yard of a rented house they once shared as roommates. Before production began on Legion of Boom in 2004, they moved the studio into the garage of the rented house. There is a lot of discussion as to whether the band took their name from methamphetamine (the street name of which is "crystal meth"). In the 1999 documentary Better Living Through Circuitry, it was made clear during the interview the name was a drug reference; in the film, Jordan discusses how difficult it is "to tell your parents you are in a band named The Crystal Method. Kirkland talks of breaking the band name to his mom on a nature walk, but to his surprise she responds calmly saying "I guess that makes sense, that's what all the kids are into these days."

More recent interviews with the band come up with non-drug-related stories such as a girl named Crystal being the impetus.[2] "Trip Like I Do"'s signature sample — "I want you to trip like I do" — came from a message saved on Kirkland's answering machine. [3] There are various interviews with the band citing that the title of the second album, Tweekend, came from the hours of "tweaking" the sound and mix.[4] However, to "Tweek" also means to use the drug methamphetamine.

kaj su oni brejks?

ajmo pricekat da nemo dode pa da kaze kaj misli

pa jedni od prvih brejks izvođača...šta je tu sporno? ok, mogu se zvat breakbeat ili big beat ali to je isto...brejks je skroz širok pojam...

ma znam, kolko se sjecam, cak i wikipedija kaze da je brejk sve kaj nema 4/4 ritam, al eto, meni su oni zajedno s prodigyjem, junkie xlom, fatboyom i ostalima u zasebnom folderu i ja bi sve kaj u tolkoj mjeri koketira s acidom, rockom i hip hopom te u jednom taktu ima vise od jednog sounda kicka primarno nazvao big beat

Ma meni taj kristal metod nis ne valja. U biti ne, bilo mi je oke dok sam pred dosta godina igro nid for spid, al ono, to je uglavnom to. blah!

reci ti kaj hoces, al bilo koja akcijska scena u csi-u i slicnim police shit serijama je nezamisliva bez njihove nabrijane zike u pozadini.

njihova stvar je na uvodnoj shpici za onu seriju "bones"

vegas je solidan album, a tweekend je i više od toga...ovo kasnije je mlačna vodica...dosta su utjecajni među današnjim mlađim breakbeat producentima tj zbog njih sa većim ili manjim uspjehom ekipa radi mjuzu i to je njihova važna uloga...
