 While The Lab enjoyed good airplay rotation on the youth radio station Triple J, they never achieved high-level commercial success.The Lab took a recording hiatus during the mid-1990s as Paul Mac found moderate pop success with his other, more commercially oriented project, Itch-E and Scratch-E. Two singles "Beautiful Sadness" (1996) and "I Will Find You" (1997) were released in advance of the debut album proper, 1997's "Labyrinth".By this time their sound had evolved into a more ambient-pop-oriented direction, but the singles had little chart impact.
