Origin Vol. 1 (also referred to as Origin I) is an album by the Swedish band The Soundtrack of Our Lives. It was released in Europe in October 2004, and in the US in March 2005. Actor and singer Jane Birkin appears on the track "Midnight Children".
The song "Bigtime" was used as the official theme song for WrestleMania 21 and was later used in Gran Turismo 4 as part of the soundtrack. "Bigtime" was also used by Sky One in an advert for a new episode of Futurama. The song "Mother One Track Mind" was also used in Gran Turismo 4 as part of the soundtrack.
Singles from the album are "Bigtime", "Heading For a Breakdown" and "Believe I've Found".
The album's imagery consists of pictures of Asian races (like Turkmen and Chinese Mandarins) from the late 19th and early 20th century, with the band's faces superimposed on top of them. These are seen on the album's front and back side, but also on some versions of the "Bigtime" single.
