MOVEMENT IN STILL LIFE (1999)

Released in June 2000 under the Nettwerk Records label, MISL reflects a turbulent but positive period of change in BT's life. With strong hip hop influences and memorable vocals this is another album many continue to pull from in the current music culture. Most notable track from this album is BT's first radio hit "Never Gonna Come Back Down" that features vocals by Mike Doughty. This album was released in different pressings to cater to the tastes of US and UK audiences.
