Released in 1993 through Italian Style in Italy and through Deconstruction Records across the rest of Europe and Australia, it samples the song "New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84)" by Scottish band Simple Minds.

Larry Flick of Billboard magazine called the track a "fast'n'furious romp, overflowing with stately strings, shoulder-shaking percussion, and more than a few imaginative vocal samples", citing the song's melody as the most productive component.

[2] On the 1997 release, he described it as a "disco-splashed twirler that is light on lyrics (think "open your mind" over and over and over) but heavy on rubbery rhythms and keyboard loops that permanently stick to the brain upon impact."

[1] Chris Finan from Music Week's RM Dance Update gave the 1997 remix four out of five, adding, "More cosmetic covering of the original without too much playing around has resulted in a definite commercial club-friendly track with the all-important crossover potential.

It features images of Joseph McCarthy, Benito Mussolini, Richard Nixon, Ian Paisley, Ronald Reagan, Josef Stalin, Margaret Thatcher and Mary Whitehouse.
