PETE SHELLEY Homosapien ii [SINGLE] 1989

This is a newly recorded version of this song, not any sort of remix of the 1981 track.

The front cover has a square layout in large red BACKWARD letters:

MOH
P A S O
II N E I

The back cover has a square layout in large red letters:

P E T ES H
E L L E Y vs
P O W E R ,
W O N D E R
& L O V E

The overall design of the cover is an ancient Greek lettering theme with 4 Greek words forming a diamond shape on the back superimposed over the square layout of the large red letters.

Pete Shelley notes:

'Armonia aphanes phaneros kreisson.
Heraclitus said, "Upwards and downwards. The way is one and the same".
Hermes Trimegistes paraphrased this as, "As above, so below".
In Greek this becomes 'Armonia aphanes phaneros kreisson'.
The 'caduceus' (the medic symbol found on 'Homosapien II' and 'Heaven and the Sea' related releases) is the 'staff' of Hermes Trimegistes.
The Greek 'wing-footed' messenger of the gods (Hermes) was also known to the Romans as 'Mercury'.
Mercury was the label that 'Heaven and the Sea' was released on in the UK.

Power, Wonder & Love was the name used by two brothers who put together the 'Homosapien II' track.'
