- Different World [TAORMINA.ME] took almost six months to formally appear; it was originally announced in April 2006 with the
single being released the following November.
- Conceived as a remix single to be released in Germany and Italy, Mousse T and So Phat! were
first commissioned for remixes in April.
- An extremely limited one track promo was released in May, but only featured the album version of the track. It was
quickly snapped up by collectors and remains quite rare.
- In July, further remixes were commissioned by Absolutely Records with The Beat Thiefs,
DJ Moussa Clarke and Matteo ESSE & Sant reworking the title track.
- By October, an in-house listening copy from Absolutely included
DJ Moussa Clarke, Matteo ESSE & Sant, two mixes by Phunk Investigation,
Scumfrog, The Beat Thiefs and Benny & Paolo Ursin.
- At this point Absolutely Records were waiting for clearance from Sanctuary Records. The plan was to release
two 12" singles and a CD.
- The first 12" appeared in November, and included remixes by Scumfrog, Benny & P Ursin vs Phunk Investigation,
DJ Moussa Clarke and Phunk Investigation. It was released in Italy, and distributed through various DJ
outlets as an import.
- After a wait of two months, a download release included the four remixes from the 12" plus four
exclusive new remixes. These included the remixes from the listening copy plus the new
Tali Freaks Remix.
- In April 2007, the second 12" was issued. Many expected it to feature the remixes made available on download, but
fans were surprised again: this 12" featured the two So Phat! remixes originally commissioned the year
before. An ultra-rare two-track CD promo was also distributed.
- Fabrique started work on a sleeve, wanting to create a brand new image (rather than one based on the
album artwork or booklet). In the end, it was never really started.
