Emerging from the shadow of the pioneering gothic rock outfit Bauhaus this essential twelve inch single represents a pivotal shift toward the lush neo psychedelia and alternative pop that would define the band during the late eighties. The distinctive sleeve design features a monochromatic silver finish with minimal embossed geometric details that mirror the transcendental and mystical themes woven through the title track.
Produced by John A Rivers at Woodbine Street Studios this release serves as an immersive preview of their second studio album and captures the trio during a period of intense creative expansion. The record remains a high priority for post punk collectors due to its inclusion of an atmospheric Syd Barrett cover alongside original compositions that highlight Daniel Ash and David J as masters of mood and melody.
Its cultural significance is rooted in the way it bridged underground sensibilities with emerging college radio appeal making it a definitive artifact for enthusiasts of the Beggars Banquet label legacy.
