Difang and Igay Duana, from the Amis, were in a cultural exchange program in Paris in 1988 when their performance of the song was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde and later distributed on CD. The producer of Enigma, Michael Cretu, later obtained the CD and proceeded to sample it. In addition, the drum beat of the song was sampled from the Led Zeppelin song `` When the Levee Breaks '', played by John Bonham. The song was used to promote several types of media in the mid-1990s, including film and TV commercials. In autumn 1994, the song was featured in an episode of the TV show My So - Called Life. In 1995, the song was used as the closing theme in Disney 's live - action film Man of the House, as well as in the opening and closing of an Outer Limits episode. In 1996, the song was further popularised when it was used in a television advertisement to promote the 1996 Summer Olympics. Julien Temple directed the video, which depicts a man 's life in reverse, starting with him dying and ending with his birth. ( See also List of Enigma videos # The Cross of Changes ). Legal dispute In March 1998, Difang and Igay Duana sued Cretu, Virgin Records, and a number of recording companies for unauthorised usage of their song without credit. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money and all further releases of the song were credited ( including royalties ) to the Duanas ( aka the Kuos -- their Chinese name ). Cretu has stated that he had been led to believe that the recording was in the public domain and that he did not intentionally violate the Kuos ' copyright.
