Electronic, the partnership of Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner, released "Feel Every Beat" on Factory in the UK on September 9, 1991, their third single and a bold splice of rock and house. Marr first started it as something for a solo album, and Sumner, who produced it, wrote the words about Britain criminalizing rave culture. Both men count it among their favorites.
It did modest business. The B-sides were "Lean to the Inside", an instrumental built on drums sampled from ABC's "Fear of the World", and "Second to None", and both resurfaced as 2013 edits on the bonus disc of the special edition reissue of the Electronic album, next to a 2013 edit of the A-side. The sleeve, by 3a, set stars in a spare color scheme drawn from the DX codes on 35mm film canisters, shifting subtly from format to format.
