All The Kings Horses deliberately mimics the style popularized Francoise Sagan in her novel Bonjour Tristesse (1954), which scandalized France when it was awarded the Prix des Critiques. The Night détourns of the avant-garde nouveau- roman style of Alain Robbe-Gillet. Bernstein claims the novels were written as a joke, solely to make money at a time when she and her husband 'were rather skint.' All the King's Horses has been translated into English by John Kelsey (Semiotext(e)/Native Agents, 2008) The Night has been translated into English by Clodagh Kinsella (Book Works, 2013).

With artwork by Red Design and incorporating photography from Ben Cowlin, the album cover features a composite conflation of Vogel and Lidell's heads, pasted from "scores of digital flakes." Their bleary eyes and haggard expression was described by Bush as attesting to the album's physically straining production. Head On was initially released by Loaded Records on 24 May 1999 in the United Kingdom, before being made available on 9 November 1999 in the United States on Skint Records, a big beat label for whom Loaded is a subsidiary. A limited-edition version was also released in Britain, adding a bonus disc containing four extra tracks.

Farage has employed his wife Kirsten as his parliamentary secretary and in April 2014 he said that "nobody else could do that job". In February 2017 his wife told the Press Association that they were living "separate lives" and that Farage had "moved out of the family home a while ago". In a BBC interview with Rachel Johnson in May 2017 he described himself as "53, separated, skint [broke]", citing 20 years of campaigning as the reason for both. On 25 November 1985 Farage was hit by a car after a night out, and suffered injury to his head and left leg, the latter nearly requiring amputation.

He had previously entered the chart under a number of different stage names, including Mighty Dub Katz and Pizzaman. "Going Out of My Head" also became Fatboy Slim's first single to chart in the United States, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Initially, Fatboy Slim and his label Skint Records did not get proper clearance for the song's samples of "I Can't Explain". When "Going Out of My Head" was later selected for inclusion on the soundtrack of the 1997 film The Jackal, The Who lead guitarist Pete Townshend – who had been given an advance listening of the soundtrack – recognized the samples and reportedly "flipped his wig".

Skint Records founder Damian Harris has described the album as having been "more of a compilation than an album", as some of the tracks had been recorded some time before its release, due to Norman Cook's other musical projects. Three songs from the album were previously released in Skint's first volume of their Brassic Beats compilation album series, which is advertised in the album's booklet. The album's cover features an image of a 3.5-inch floppy disk, paying homage to the cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" single, which featured a 5.25-inch disk. The album's title is a variation of a DuPont advertising slogan, "Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry".

Video still from 43 Degrees Skint & Demoralised's first headline UK tour was in February 2009 and included dates across the UK. One distinguishing feature of the live sets is Abbott's spoken word poems. During early live performances, he would recite the anti-racism poem BNP: Nazis on the Doorstep and often climbed on top of a nearby monitor or fixture to do so. He has supported and performed with Love Music Hate Racism since his early career and has often spoken of his support for the organisation in interviews. In addition to supporting one of Abbott's main influences, poet John Cooper Clarke, at The Duchess in York, the band performed at several new music festivals in 2009 such as Camden Crawl in London and The Great Escape in Brighton as well as major festivals such as Glastonbury Festival, Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London, Latitude Festival in Suffolk, Leeds and Reading Festival and Bestival on the Isle of Wight.
