Their first release, in 1996, was a 12" record entitled "Fiasko." The "Antimatter EP" was also released the same year.
It wasn't until 1997 when they released the 12" record "Tokyo Tower" that brought Terranova into the British press.
On 19 January 1998, Terranova released their take on DJ mix album, DJ Kicks which gained them further recognition and is regarded as one of the best and most loved in the highly respected series. Remixes for Fanatik, Jungle Brothers and Stereo MCs followed soon after, among many others.
In 1999 Terranova released the singles "Turn Around" feat. Cath Coffey and "Just Enough" feat. Nicolette Krebitz. Photographer Juergen Teller made his first foray into film direction for the band's accompanying video for the track "Just Enough."
