Data Insight

Fourteen tracks, both of them credited on every one, and seven with a third name. That third name is nearly always the singer: the guests here write their own parts rather than turning up to perform someone else's. It is the album that won them a Grammy and the one where they share the most.

Kish Kash came out on XL and Astralwerks in October 2003 and won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Lisa Kekaula, Meshell Ndegeocello, Dizzee Rascal and Siouxsie Sioux all sing on it.
