The song first appeared on a Dead Can Dance bootleg album titled "The Golden Age" in 1993, claiming to have been recorded live in 1988.[1] Two more identical bootleg albums containing the song followed titled The Hidden Treasures (1995) and Lost Treasures (2014).[2][3]
According to the fansite deadcandance.info, the song is called Oceania, it was performed at the beginning of a live performance on December 5th, 1988 in Paris and December 10th, 1988 in Hamburg,[4][5] and it was performed without founding members Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard.[6] The same information is available from a tape trading list from 1999, but the song is credited as The Endless Longing of Sea Doves rather than Oceania.[7]
