Daft Music's single "Da Funk" was featured in Phillip Noyce's The Saint along with songs by David Bowie, Duran Duran, Moby, and others. Also featured on the soundtrack is "In the Absence of the Sun" from Duncan Sheik's debut album Duncan Sheik.
Duncan Sheik got started as a singer-songwriter after moving to San Fransisco in 1993 with a degree from Brown University. After performing on the scene for three years including work as a backing musician, Duncan Sheik released his eponymous debut for Atlantic in 1996. The album's first single "Barely Breathing" reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on the list for 55 weeks. The single's success propelled the album to Gold status.
Duncan Sheik is an album filled with love songs, unrequited love songs, and reflections rooted in Sheik's Buddhist beliefs and experiences. Sheik's acoustic guitar playing and soft voice lay the groundwork for the album's sound and is supplemented with the occasional electric guitar, backing strings, and constantly changing percussion. Duncan Sheik takes the role as the sensitive poet who tries to understand failed relationships, the world, and his role in them.
Here is the discography surrounding Duncan Sheik's debut album:
