Following the festivals, the band created a new track, premiered in December 2000 when the band supported U2. Tom Rowlands seemed to initally have mixed feelings about the track, saying it had "quite a lot of percussion, big, sweeping sort of stuff. Live conga playing, quite spaced out. It's like Body & Soul, but really, really hard and twisted, it's like high-impact, full-on, but with more organic sounds, and quite intense, without the good vibe.", though the track was popular with fans, and eventually was released as a white label release, "Electronic Battle Weapon 5", in June 2001. In the releases' dawn, the duo had begun recording a new album, and the track had prooved basis for the bands recording of the album.
