During the spring of 1999 Twisted Pear released their debut 11-track album, 'Peeled'. It was written over a two-year period as both members of the band were in full-time work. Derek Mason, the founder of the band, was a Computer Programmer; Alan Hoose an Infrastructure Technician. All work, from writing the songs to producing the CD, was done in-house by the band. Additional vocals were produced by Clare Peaty, and the Album artwork was created by Colleen (Proxima3) and Paul (Ion-Storm).
The debut album received praise from the likes of the UK's top music magazine Future Music (where it received a glowing review of 10/10 in Issue 83, and was featured on the magazine's cover CD in Issue 86), and BBC Radio One (who featured the title track 'Greenfruit' for 3 months on their web site).

“We accidentally sent the album to the wrong address when we sent it to Future Music magazine.” says Derek.
“It was reviewed alongside that month’s signed artists’ album releases. We beat Basement Jaxx into third place, and came joint-second with Moby’s ‘Play’ album. So we sent it again next month to the correct address, and our title track made the cover CD.”

Creating several styles of music, including retro 60s / 70's fusions with groovy funky undertones, electric guitar / breakbeat tracks, chill-out ambient and dance.
