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.

Original Retail: In 1991, a 12" single on a major label like EMI typically retailed for approximately £3.99.

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". The record was recorded at Axis Studios in Sheffield and produced by Barry Clempson. The cover art features striking underwater photography of a shark by Marty Snyderman.
