The Neville Brothers had a hit in 1989 with Aaron singing "Yellow Moon" from the album of the same name. There are still the thunderous live songs like "We Bounce" and "I Wear My Skin".

From live performances and both live and studio recordings, the new material was obviously a further progression; the group was experimenting with various time signatures, such as 7/4, and was using more melody and a greater variation in song structure.

After circulating a three track demo and signing a deal with Taste Media, the band started recording sessions for their third album in the autumn of 2002. Buy Now... sounded more like a metal album. This, their second album, represented a noticeable step in the band's musical progression: the record's production quality and style differed from their debut, for which they had used a hip-hop producer. Saved Later followed in 2000 after an amicable split with Ignatiou, who was replaced by Massimo, known as Massy.

The band felt that that respect was often "misplaced".[1] (http://www.oneminutesilence.com/omsfaq.html#1).
