In 1995, they record "Paradise in me" which has a bit of slow start, but is still growing to this day. The story of the record is told in "Big in Belgium" : "The record starts off on a wrong foot. A tour in France goes poorly, a tour in Spain together with the hard-hitting Heroes Del Silencio is a miscast. Fortunately, there is the single "Not an addict". Holland is the first to succumb : 80.000 copies sold and an imposing performance on the important Pinkpop festival. Germany follows, where the group makes a big impression on Alanis Morissette at the Rock am Ring festival and invites the group to join her U.S.-tour.
During the tour with Alanis and a following club-tour they sell only 8.000 CD's. On the other side of the Globe in Australia, K's choice enters the top 10 and stays there for weeks. That finally awakens somebody at Sony. A new video is shot for "Not an addict", the song gets picked up on the college radio stations and the rest is history. Now the record has been sold over 700.000 times.
As Sarah (who by-the-way is married to an American) put it : "Rock-and-roll is hard work. Being from a small country, you got to double the effort. That's because you have to leap over two boundaries : the boundary of anonymity, but also the boundary of the "networks". A young and promising English group has a much easier time opening the wallets for promotion and merchandising"."
