"Second Nature" was the seventh single by Electronic, the band formed by Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner in the late eighties. It was first released in America as a CD maxi-single of DJ remixes in October 1996, and issued commercially by Parlophone in the UK and Virgin in Europe the following February on two CDs and cassette.
It has an autobiographical lyric by Sumner[1] which concerns his youth and growing up, while the music has a groovy shuffle which contrasts with the stricter dance tracks on its parent album Raise the Pressure.
Unlike every other commercial Electronic single, no video was made for "Second Nature", although it was promoted by live performances on TFI Friday and Later With Jools Holland. Its primary B-side "Turning Point" is an instrumental dance track which includes drum loops and sampled vocals, while the 12" remix of third single "Feel Every Beat" had not been released in Britain on Compact Disc before.
Apart from the "Trance Atlantic Dub" and an edited version of the "Plastik Vox" mix, none of the remixes on the American maxi-single have been made commercially available, and the item is extremely rare.
