Released in 1991, this single was a precursor to the band's acclaimed debut album, Crawl. The Beyond emerged from the UK's "funk metal" and thrash scenes but were famous for their "uniquely strange" blend of jazz, progressive rock, and alternative metal.
This track highlights their signature sound: intense, technical, and atmospheric.

Additional Features This 12" single includes two notable cover versions on the B-side: a rendition of The Doors' "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" and Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick".
