Pendulum was an ambient house Australian group, active from 1994 to 1998. They are best known for their 1997 single "Coma".
Career
[edit]Pendulum formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1994 as a partnership between two Melbourne disc jockeys Julian Warner, Noel Mihailovic.[citation needed]
In early 1995, Pendulum released their debut single, "I Need You", which reached #1 on Melbourne's Kiss FM Dance chart within three weeks of its release and it received major club play across the country.[1] The song was released in USA on Fade records and in the UK on Foreign Policy.[1]
"I Need You" was followed by the single "Awesome Party/Insecurity". Vicious Vinyl described the song as "A mish-mash of beats, loops, funky guitar, banging synths and some crazy samples".[1] In July 1997, Pendulum released "Coma" which peaked at number 32 on the ARIA Charts and featured in the Triple J Hottest 100, 1997. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, "Coma" won ARIA Award for Best Dance Release. The group released an album titled 3 Knocks which failed to chart, despite receiving positive reviews from Mixmag, DJ and Rolling Stone.[2] The group disbanded in 1998 to pursue other interests.
