Pnau released their debut album Sambanova in 1999 under the small independent Peking Duck label. It was recorded in a bedroom studio and they only expected to sell a few thousand copies. A week before winning the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release the album Sambanova was pulled from record stores for uncleared samples. In a 2003 interview with The Age newspaper's Andrew Drever, Mayes recalled that they had no understanding of sample clearances due to their naivety in the music business. Mayes claimed that they had no inkling that they would win an ARIA award but that the album's recall did seriously affect their commercial sales.Warner Music Australasia re-released the album in 2000 with a different track listing, and it peaked in the Top 40 on the ARIA Albums Chart in June. Pnau toured nationally for the Big Day Out in 2001, 2004, 2008 and 2011.
Three full length versions of Sambanova have been released to the public, one through the label Peking Duck and two through Warner Music Australasia.
