They followed with the critically acclaimed albums Geogaddi (2002), The Campfire Headphase (2005) and Tomorrow's Harvest (2013).The duo's work, largely influenced by outdated media and electronic music from the 1970s, incorporates vintage synthesizer tones, samples, analog equipment, and hip hop-inspired beats. It has been described by critics as exploring themes related to nostalgia, as well as childhood memory, science, environmental concerns and esoteric subjects. In 2012, Fact summarized them as "one of the best-known and best-loved electronic acts of the last two decades."
