Singles

edit

"The Golden Path" was released on 15 September 2003 as the first single from the album. It reached number 17 in the UK charts.[citation needed] "Get Yourself High" was the second single from the album, released on 8 December 2003. It was not eligible for the UK charts because it had five songs instead of three songs, which is required for qualification.
