==Biography== ===1990s: Beginnings=== Pnau formed in Sydney, [[New South Wales]] by Littlemore and Mayes. The two met at secondary school at the age of 12 and began performing together in the mid-1990s, initially playing [[Acid house|acid]], [[house music]], and [[trance music]].<ref name="Allmusic"/> Littlemore recalled meeting Mayes when he was 10; "He tripped me over. We hated each other for a couple years and then we started sneaking out and going to raves when we were about 13 and we formed a bond over intense music." Littlemore and Mayes created their first album when they were in their mid-teens. "It was called Fractal Geometric Spaces Made of Light," Littlemore remembers, "Which is probably why it was never picked up."<ref name="Cosmo">{{cite web|url=http://cms.cougar.nineentertainmentco.com.au/celebrity/cosmo-celeb-chat/2011/11/cosmo-chats-pnau/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121215185349/http://cms.cougar.nineentertainmentco.com.au/celebrity/cosmo-celeb-chat/2011/11/cosmo-chats-pnau/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 December 2012 |title=Cosmo Chats: PNAU |work=[[Cosmopolitan (magazine)|Cosmopolitan]] |date=23 November 2011 |access-date=11 March 2012 }}</ref>

The duo's first commercially available tracks were a pair of nine-minute tracks, "Frisk" and "Anthropophagi", that led off ''doof@cybersonic.aust.com'' – an underground [[acid trance]] compilation album distributed by cult electronic label [[Creative Vibes]] in 1996.<ref>{{Citation|title=doof@cybersonic.aust.com (1996, CD)|url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-doofcybersonicaustcom/release/1827908|publisher=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2021-09-13}}</ref> Pnau would then feature on another Creative Vibes project, 1998's compilation record ''Evolutionary Vibes III: The Evolution Will Not Be Televised'', with the song "Discone".<ref>{{Citation|title=Evolutionary Vibes III - The Evolution Will Not Be Televised (1998, CD)|date=27 September 1998 |url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-Evolutionary-Vibes-III-The-Evolution-Will-Not-Be-Televised/release/5411576|publisher=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2021-09-13}}</ref>

===1999–2002: ''Sambanova''=== {{main|Sambanova}} In July 1999, Pnau released their debut album ''[[Sambanova]]'' under the independent [[Record label|label]] Peking Duck.

Pnau went on to make many live appearances at music festivals like [[Big Day Out]] in 2001 and [[Homebake]] in 2002.

When asked if he still considered ''Again'' to be his worst record, Littlemore responded, "Well next to ''[[Soft Universe]]''. They're sort of on par." Littlemore further explained that his opinions are influenced by the albums' commercial success, which is an easy headspace for him to get into since "everyone loves [[Empire of the Sun (band)|Empire of the Sun]], it's sold 1.1 million records."<ref name="FHM" /> Despite the seemingly unfavourable album response, several tracks received considerable acclaim - the most noteworthy being "We Love the Fresh Kills" which was a significantly popular single for the duo at the time.<ref name="PNAU at Ministry of Sound"/> However, because of ''[[Again (Pnau album)|Again]]'''s lackluster success the pair parted ways for some time to work with other artists such as [[Robbie Williams]],<ref name="ruth"/> [[Van She]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.discogs.com/artist/Nick+Littlemore | title = Nick Littlemore discography | publisher = [[Discogs]] | access-date = 26 August 2010 }}</ref> and [[Lost Valentinos]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.discogs.com/Lost-Valentinos-Miles-From-Nowhere-EP/release/1058281 | title = Lost Valentinos* - Miles From Nowhere EP at Discogs | date = August 2007 | publisher = [[Discogs]] | access-date = 26 August 2010 }}</ref>
