Their sales on the label are exceeded only by Gabriel himself.Their recording contract with Real World was for five albums, of which Volume 5: Anatomic was the last.



After a number of festival dates in 2007, the band went on hiatus. In 2010, they regrouped to play a number of shows including a return to WOMAD, releasing a re-mastered retrospective titled Capture.



On 20 May 2014, Afro Celt Sound System announced the upcoming release of a new album, Born. In January 2016, a posting to that website revealed that due to a dispute with Emmerson, who announced his departure from the band in 2015, there were two active versions of the band, a version led by Emmerson and a separate line-up headed by James McNally and Martin Russell. Emmerson's version of the band released the album The Source in 2016. The dispute ended on 21 December 2016, with an announcement on social media.
