The first BAD album, This Is BigAudioDynamite released a year later, is generally recognized as the first album by a major recording artist to include digital sampling techniques.
BigAudioDynamite (later known as BigAudioDynamite II and BigAudio, and often abbreviated BAD) was a British rock band formed by the ex-guitarist and singer of The Clash, Mick Jones.
BigAudioDynamite II After a complete reworking of the lineup that left Jones as the sole remaining original member he changed their name to BigAudioDynamite II.
Jones has shuffled the line up of the group several times, and even renamed them BigAudioDynamite II (in 1991) and BigAudio (1994), but critics argue that the band never really captured the cutting-edge promise of their debut album, with the possible exception of the 1989 release.
