It was released 24 July 2006 as the second single from that album in the UK, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 19 in the first week of its release (see 2006 in British music). It was their 37th Top 20 hit in the UK. The B-side "In Private" (Stuart Crichton 7" Mix) is a new version of a song originally written for Dusty Springfield, this time recorded as a duet between Neil Tennant and Elton John. OverviewThe lyrics, built around a chant of "M-I-N-I-M-A-L", are an abstract description of expressions of minimalism, such as "more is less" and "an empty box, an open space". This is contradicted by the upbeat, busy instrumentation and production. Originally planned as the first single from Fundamental, it was subsequently moved down the release schedule when "I'm with Stupid" was chosen instead. Track listingsCD: Parlophone / CDR6708 (UK)
