In 1995, the song was used as the closing theme in Disney’s live-action film Man of the House, as well as in the opening and closing of an Outer Limits episode. In fall 1994, the song was featured in an episode of the TV show My So-Called Life.
The song was used to promote several types of media in the mid-1990s, including film and TV commercials. In addition, the drum beat of the song was sampled from the Led Zeppelin song “When the Levee Breaks.” The producer of Enigma, Michael Cretu, later obtained the CD and proceeded to sample it. Kuo Ying-nan (born Difang Duana) (郭英男) and Kuo Hsiu-chu (郭秀珠), both Amis, were in a cultural exchange program in Parisin 1988 when their performance of the song was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde and later distributed on CD. The chant was sampled from the “Jubilant Drinking Song” without the singers’ permission. The song’s main vocals are provided by Angel X (Andreas Harde), while an Amis chant is repeated. Some interesting and good notes from Wikipedia: He also produced work for Hubert Kah and Peter Schilling, two artists I featured on Halo-Halo Vol.1 and Halo-Halo Vol.2, respectively. Behind the masterful production was Michael Cretu, who according to Wikipedia, changed Enigma’s direction from Gregorian chants to tribal chants in the album The Cross of Changes. Return to Innocence is more from the New Age genre, an uplifting song with some pretty deep lyrics. They were good times, and this song brings me back. For me, Euromix 6 was during my Senior year of high school. I remember someone mentioning how the mixes meant a lot to her, as this was the music we not only grew up on, but the memories involved as well.
