Space Cowboy

Space Cowboy is the first excerpt taken from the band's second album "The Return of the Space Cowboy". It is interesting to note that the edit of the single (lasting 3.36) is totally different from the version found on the album. The versions of "Kids" and "Journey to Arnhemland" featured on several of the releases are the regular album versions.

In May 2006 Space Cowboy was reissued as part one of five 12" remix releases - including a new remix of the track by Mayhem ∧ Musaphia and also the David Morales Classic Club remix.
