It was followed by "(Can You) Feel the Passion" (their response to Bizarre Inc's "Playing With Knives"), which hit #1 on the UK Dance Chart in 1992, reaching #14 on the UK Singles Chart.

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or pearl:
“There were ghosts that returned to earth to hear his phrases,
As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae.
They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.
There were those that returned to hear him read from the poem of life,
Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them.
They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Pilot to crew. Take a good look at Pearl Harbor. Maybe it’s something you’ll want to remember.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
