1 Giant Leap

British electronic music duo the band other uses One Giant Leap (disambiguation) March 2016 March 2016 January 2011 1 Giant Leap London, England Electronic trip hop house world 2001–present Palm Pictures Jamie CattoDuncan Bridgeman group_or_band 1 Giant Leap is a British electronic music duo consisting of the two principal artists, Jamie Catto (Faithless founding member) and Duncan Bridgeman. 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 video footage shot over the course of six months by Catto and Bridgeman, images, rhythms and spoken word content. The band was signed to the Palm record label and its 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, Asha Bhosle, Neneh Cherry, Anita Roddick, Michael Franti, Zap Mama, and other artists and authors. The band's theme for the project is "Unity Through Diversity". A making-of was also shown on the 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. Reception In a review for NPR's All Things Considered, Charles deLedesma said that the album and DVD had "an uphill marketing struggle ... because it isn't easily pigeonholed. But that's its real strength, too. This production presents a luscious, cohesive collection of images, ideas and extremely beautiful world music, which flows here with the voices of three continents."http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-69481022.html https://web.archive.org/web/20160415093901/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-69481022.html usurped 15 April 2016 Review: New multimedia project "1 Giant Leap" Lynn Neary NPR 11 November 2002 HighBeam Research subscription 28 January 2013 Discography Albums + List of albums, with selected details and chart positions Title Album details Peak chart positions UK David Roberts 2006 British Hit Singles & Albums 19th Guinness World Records Limited London 1-904994-10-5 406 AUShttps://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=1+Giant+Leap&titel=1+Giant+Leap&cat=a Discography 1 Giant Leap australiancharts.com 5 September 2022 NZ 1 Giant Leap Released: April 2002 Label: Palm Pictures Format: CD 51 18 41 What About Me?
