Written by Paul Draper.
From Attack of the Grey Lantern
Released February 1997.
Originally released as a single (Four EP) in November 1996.
The band (more likely the label) took a lot of care in milking their most famous hit.
A live performance (dubbed 'Live Open Space) appears as a b-side to She Makes My Nose Bleed in February 1997. An acoustic performance appears as a b-side to Taxloss in May 1997.
Several club remixes were commissioned. The most popular of which by Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne using their Perfecto alias went on to become a major club hit. In 2010 Paul Draper collaborated with Greg Downey on a new mix of Wide Open Space (basically an update of the Perfecto Mix).
List of Remixes:
The Perfecto Mix - later included as a b-side to Legacy (Eight EP) in June 1998.
Trouser Enthusiast Mix (aka Trouser Enthusiasts Hermaphrodite Circus Mix) - later included as a b-side to Being A Girl (Part One) (Nine EP) in August 1998.
