Information

The first single from Origin of Symmetry, contributing the album's respectable chart position at 3.

One of the few single releases in Japan. Like all Japanese Muse releases, a numbered sample promo was created for the the Japanese version, as well as a unique promo CD and cassette.

The track information beneath B-sides "Execution Commentary" and "Bedroom Acoustics" in the UK CD sleeves differs to the rest of the tracks; the former says 'produced badly by a nasty piece of work' and the latter says 'goodbye cruel world'. The Benelux Maxi single contains a misprint on the interior. Instead of "Spiral" Static it says "Spiritual" Static.

The B-sides were original supposed to be "Futurism" (under the title "Tesseract") and "Darkshines" (under the title "Policing the Jackson Funk").^[3] "Darkshines" was later released on the album Origin of Symmetry and "Futurism" on the "Dead Star/In Your World" single and Japanese edition of Origin of Symmetry.
