In producing the compilation, Schilling explained that he'd grown tired and needed a break by the time of the album's production and release, providing a possible reason why there was only one new track recorded. The title track was a collaborative effort between Schilling and Enigma's Michael Cretu, and is the only song written and released in English only. It was a top-10 pop hit in Sweden. Released in a dance mix, the song was also a club hit, reaching No. 16 on the Billboard Dance chart. The song was Schilling's last Billboard Hot 100 pop hit to date, peaking at No. 61.
Reception
The number of copies the album sold was low. William Cooper of Allmusic says that besides the hit song "Major Tom" and the title track "The Different Story (World of Lust and Crime)," the "rest of the material here just isn't worth the trouble."[1]
