Release details

It was only released in the USA, Germany and Australia. The music video for this single was directed by Alex Proyas and filmed at Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire. The video for the song was available on The Wind Chimes and Elements.

Vocalists

The original mix features Max Bacon on lead vocals and John Payne on backing vocals. The version with Max Bacon does not appear on the European releases of the Islands album, due to Bacon still being under contract to Arista Records at the time.[3] However, Bacon's vocals do appear on the US album version, which was not released until 1988 in an attempt to capitalize on Bacon's familiarity to US audiences as the vocalist of GTR. The UK album version features Jim Price on vocals.

Artwork

The single's artwork differed in the UK and US. The UK artwork showed Oldfield standing in front of a blue background, on which shadows of hands are present. The US artwork is in a similar style to the album cover, showing hands rising out of the ocean.

Rapid attack into enemy territory Razzia of Circassian guerillas (1855) A razzia is a surprise attack against an enemy settlement. Although it primarily sought to obtain booty, historically the objectives of a razzia have been diverse: the capture of slaves, ethnic or religious cleansing, expansion of territory, and intimidation of the enemy.
