A remixed version of the song credited as "One Day / Reckoning Song (Wankelmut Rmx)" produced by German DJ Wankelmut became a huge commercial success in many European charts, including number one positions in Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. It also charted in Poland, France, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, Luxembourg and Romania. The song is released on the Four Music label and distributed throughout Europe by Sony. The Wankelmut Remix is the version that received radio play in the UK and was described as "having all the hallmarks of classical minimal techno".
