"Perpetual Dawn" floated off The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, the English electronic outfit's 1991 debut album, and went out on Big Life as a single, slotting in between "Little Fluffy Clouds" and "Blue Room". Jeffrey Nelson and Shola supply the voices, and the writing credit is a crowded room: Martin Glover, Eddie Maiden, Nelson, Dr Alex Paterson and Simon Phillips.

Paterson produced it with Eddie Manasseh and mixed it with Thrash, Andy Falconer engineered, and Nancy Noise gets a credit on turntables. It stalled at No. 61 in the UK the first time round, but the 1994 reissue did far better, climbing to No. 18.
