The Crystal Method

The Crystal Method is an electronic music duo consisting of Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland. Along the same lines as The Chemical Brothers, Propellerheads, The Prodigy, and Fatboy Slim, they specialize in breakbeat and big beat styles of music. Formed in 1993, they did most of their earlier production work in an underground shelter lovingly referred to as "The Bomb Shelter" in the front yard of a rent house they once shared as roommates. Before production began on Legion of Boom in 2004, they moved the studio into the garage of the rent house; many people aren't aware of this, however, and still believe they work in the actual "bomb shelter", now a nickname for the studio setup.
