在1997年樂(lè)隊(duì)發(fā)型了他們首張專(zhuān)輯“Flying Away”，包括幾個(gè)熱門(mén)曲目像“Underwater Love”，“Mr. Gorgeous(and Miss Curvaceous)”和“Joga Bossa (Aguas de Março)”。FlyingAway盡管因?yàn)檫\(yùn)用了大量元素從light trip-pop到柔和的吉他民謠，已然難以歸類(lèi)，Smoke City的下一張專(zhuān)輯，Heroesof Nature(2001年發(fā)型)，甚至被眾多粉絲都認(rèn)為過(guò)于怪異，結(jié)合了更多的風(fēng)格，在一些曲目中亦加入了舞曲節(jié)奏。

Though based in London, the trip-hop trio Smoke City created music with a distinctively Brazilian, bossa nova-influenced sound — no surprise given that vocalist Nina Mirandas childhood was divided between the UK and South America. Miranda formed Smoke City with former schoolmate Mark Brown, with whom she shared an affection not only for the music of Santana and Gilberto Gil but also classic 70s funk; rounding out the line-up with guitarist Chris Franck, formerly of the Brighton-based Brazilian percussion group Batu, the group issued a handful of indie-label singles before signing to Jive Records in the fall of 1995. Their debut LP Flying Away followed two years later, and was highlighted by the single Underwater Love, which became a European hit thanks to its use in a commercial campaign for Levis jeans.
