The Force Dimension recorded two versions of their debut self-titled album, now known as the "Blue" and "Red" versions. The former was produced by Luc Van Acker and Jean-Pierre Everaerts, and was a less intense synth-pop leaning sound that was an attempt to jump on board the success of groups like Pet Shop Boys. A lukewarm response to the album inspired The Force Dimension to bring in Dirk Ivens for a redo, and what resulted was the "Red" version, a heavy, punchier set of songs that were more in line with the EBM/New Beat sound that was exploding in Belgium and the Netherlands at that time. "Dust" was released as an extended version single, and stands as the definitive cut of a genre-defining track that fuses industrial, minimal techno, and new wave.
