It was the group's debut [[Single (music)|single]] and later appeared on their full-length album ''[[Accelerator (album)|Accelerator]]'' it reached #22 on the [[UK singles chart]]. The track has been remixed and released many times since its original release, both legitimately and in [[bootleg recording|bootleg]] format on CD, Vinyl and Cassette and has been featured on almost every dance compilation album in one form or another since its release.<ref>[http://www.astralwerks.com/fsol/ Future Sound of London<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ==The track== The song became a popular [[rave]] and club track almost immediately upon its release. The original mix notably samples the bassline from [[Meat Beat Manifesto]]'s proto-jungle track "Radio Babylon", vocal samples of [[Lisa Gerrard]]'s singing lifted from the [[Dead Can Dance]] song "Dawn Of The Iconoclast", from their 1987 album ''[[Within the Realm of a Dying Sun]]'' and "Shelter Me" by Circuit. "Papua New Guinea" was perhaps FSOL's most club-oriented track; most of the remixes on the single are very dancefloor-friendly. After ''Accelerator'''s release, however, they moved in increasingly [[Ambient music|ambient]] and [[Experimental music|experimental]] directions. In [[2001]], a new set of remixes was released by FSOL's label, Jumpin' & Pumpin'. Soon after that, Future Sound of London themselves released ''Papua New Guinea Translations'', which extended the track into a 45-minute-long EP. The track was featured in the [[1992]] film ''[[Cool World]]'', in which Garry Cobain was mis-credited as "Garry Cockbain", which was the original spelling of his name.<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/artist/Garry+Cobain Garry Cobain<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. ==Releases== ===1991/2003 release=== The original recording was released twice in 1991 and 2003 on CD and Vinyl and Cassette with time totaling at 13:10.
