Dreadzone put "Life, Love & Unity" on Second Light, their second album and first for Virgin, released in May 1995. Earl Sixteen, the guest vocalist who also went out on the road with them behind the record, sings it, Dan Donovan sits in on keyboards, and Greg Roberts and Leo Williams wrote it. The band produced it themselves and Tim Bran mixed.
Second Light was built as a celebration of modern, multicultural Britain, folding dub, electronics and samples in with Celtic and Indian music and poetry, and taking cues from Michael Powell's films and the Festival of Britain years. It became the band's most successful release, 6 of its tracks made John Peel's Festive Fifty that year, and Peel later named it his 12th favorite album ever.
