The three first collaborated on a 2004 12"

This was followed by a full-length album, "Tromatic Reflexxions ", released onDomino Records in 2007, with two singles being drawn from the album.The collaboration might seem unlikely in that the artists are from two very different musical genres. It has drawn comparisons to
John Lydon 's collaboration withLeftfield on the track "Open Up", which is similar in spirit, if not in sound.The Wire magazine issue no. 279]Von Südenfed have been compared to
