Anything Box first put "Living in Oblivion" out themselves in 1988, as a 12-inch backed with "Time to Go" and a slow mix of the title song, and in 1990 it came back as the American synth-pop band's first major-label single, this time on Epic. The song belongs to their debut album, Peace, and this remix turns up on the Soul on Fire EP from 1990.
It became their first chart hit and their only single to reach the Billboard Hot 100, where it got to number 65, and it went to number 10 on the Dance Club Songs chart. They weren't finished with it, either: in 1996 a new version, "Living in Oblivion (MCMXCVI A.D.)", came out on their own Orangewerks label with fresh remixes from Digital 3, Paul Robb, Rythmus and Seven Red Seven.
