Produced by Michael Cretu and released on Virgin, the track topped charts globally while maintaining a genuine mystique that most chart music of the period could only dream of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour versions across two sides document the track from every angle. The Extended Trance Mix opens the A-side with the full, immersive version that best captures the record's hypnotic, ceremonial atmosphere, while the Radio Edit distils the essential elements into a tighter form. The Violent US Remix on the flip pushes the track into more propulsive, dancefloor-adjacent territory, before the Meditation Mix closes the record in its most ambient and contemplative form. A genuine piece of early 1990s music history — the moment new-age, ambient pop and electronic dance music briefly and brilliantly converged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
