Babylon Zoo raised expectations to astronomic high when their first record, "Spaceman," debuted at number i in England in 1996. It became the fastest-selling exclusive in U.K. history, moving 250,000 copies in one and only workweek. However, it was a short-lived love story. Babylon Zoo was the inspiration of Jas Mann (vocals, manufacturer). Born in Dudley, West Midlands, England, on April 24, 1971, Mann was a skill fiction fan, and his original radical, the Sandkings, was named after a sci-fi short tale by George R.R. Martin. The Sandkings open for the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses in the early '90s, only Mann left the isthmus because of creative differences. In 1993, a three-track demonstration from Mann's following plan Babylon Zoo earned him a condense from Phonogram Records. Two long time by and by, Levi's used "Cosmonaut" for a TV ad afterward hearing the melodic phrase on a Manchester, England, radio station. However, the immense success of "Cosmonaut" turned Babylon Zoo into of the biggest one-hit wonders. When Babylon Zoo released an record album, 1996's The Boy With the X-Ray Eyes, there was disappointingly mild interest; it was a dud, and Babylon Zoo became largely disregarded.
