The Beloved first floated "Your Love Takes Me Higher" in 1989, in a spread of formats, and Britain barely noticed: three weeks on the UK chart and a peak of 91. Jon Marsh and Steve Waddington's song got a second shot in 1990, climbed to 39 this time, and went onto the Happiness album. Martyn Phillips produced it, and remixes later resurfaced on Blissed Out.
Record Mirror's Robin Smith thought the two of them looked, on the sleeve, as if they'd slept on a park bench, but heard a throbbing, spirited little number with a pull not far off the Pet Shop Boys' "Left to My Own Devices". Music & Media went further, filing the Beloved among the smartest acts of the post-house pop boom, pairing thumping beats with atmosphere to suit the new hippie mood.
