Galliano's music is built on a collage-like meld of spoken and sung poetry, spiritual jazz, cosmic funk, socially conscious soul, dub reggae, and EDM. The group emerged at the dawn of the acid jazz era as the first act signed to Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson's Talkin' Loud in 1987. Following their debut single, "Freddie at Rest," they issued their first studio long-player, In Pursuit of the 13th Note, in 1991.
Produced by Chris Bangs, it struck a major chord in club culture. 1992's A Joyful Noise Unto the Creator went to number 28 on the British album charts, while 1994's The Plot Thickens cracked the Top Ten and netted two Top 40 singles. Galliano issued :4 in 1996, and split in 1997. They re-formed 26 years later, delivered two singles in 2024, and in August issued the long-player Halfway Somewhere on Peterson's Brownswood.
