"Propane Nightmares" was the second single from In Silico, the second album from Australian drum and bass outfit Pendulum, in 2008, and Rob Swire is all over it: he sings lead, plays synthesizer and bass, wrote the words, produced it with Gareth McGrillen assisting and mixed it with Simon Askew. Paul Kodish plays drums, Peredur ap Gwynedd adds electric guitar, and guests Andy Greenwood, Craig Wild and Andy Wood bring in trumpets and trombone. It borrows from "Million Miles from Home" by the German happy hardcore act Dune, and Swire shares the music credit with Bernd Burhoff, Oliver Froning and Jens Oettrich.
It first surfaced as a download in Australia and New Zealand in April 2008, while the band were touring there. Zane Lowe spun it again and again on BBC Radio 1, it peaked at number nine in the UK, and WWE later made it the theme of Cyber Sunday 2008.
