THE STORY
“The Good Life” was released while The New Power Generation promoted the Exodus album. The US edition included several Get Wild remixes previously unavailable in America. The track was later re-released in the UK in 1997 after the Platinum People Mix gained significant airplay on Rock FM 97.4.
CONTEXT & NOTES
This maxi-single is notable for its extensive remixes and inclusion of the non-album track “Free The Music”. The vibrant artwork reflects the creative energy of The NPG during the mid-1990s.
