Never, Never, Land Revisited

Never, Never, Land is the second album by the British electronic music act UNKLE, released on September 22, 2003 (2003-09-22). On October 24, 2004 (2004-10-24) an expanded edition entitled Never, Never, Land Revisited was released. The original album debuted at #71 in Australia. It was promoted by four singles: "Eye for an Eye", "In a State", "Reign" and released only as a 12" promo "Safe in Mind".

The tracks on the album contain audio samples from the movies The Prophecy, Jacob's Ladder, THX 1138 and The Thin Red Line. "Panic Attack" samples the beat from She's Lost Control and "Inside" samples the beat from New Dawn Fades, both original songs from UK band Joy Division. A prominent sample of the Black Sabbath song "Changes" (taken from the album Vol. 4) appears only in early leaked versions of "Back & Forth."
