“A curiously tender, black-hearted modern soul classic; the last great record of the millennium, if we’re being pretentious,” was how NME described Death in Vegas’ second album (1999), which took its name from the Contino Rooms in London (where it was recorded) and was nominated for the 2000 Mercury Music Prize.

Many of the tracks were featured in film, advertisement and video game soundtracks, notably the opener, ‘Dirge’. It was used by Levi’s and at least five different films in the decade after the album was issued, which has helped to make it the band’s biggest streamer.
