Gourt Home::Gourt :: Mint Royale
Mint Royale are a big beat electronica duo from Manchester, England, comprised of Neil Claxton and Chris Baker. They are widely known for their remixes.
In 2005 the group released "Waiting in the Rain" on the "Wait for You" EP- a remix of Singin' in the Rain, which was featured in the January 2005 Volkswagen Golf GTI commercial. It reached #20 on the UK Singles Chart after it was released as a single (remixed and renamed as "Singing In the Rain"). This version also features on the album "See You in the Morning".
The song From Rusholme with Love has been made recognisable through its extensive use in film and television series sountracks. Notable examples include the theme tune for the film Kung Pow! Enter The Fist, as well as being present on the soundtrack of the films Vanilla Sky, Get Carter, Serendipity and the television series ALIAS and Spaced. The song Because I'm Worth It has also been used as the theme tune for the Jamie Theakston and Zoë Ball chat show The Priory.
