What makes What Comes After Goodbye by Philip Oakey notable?

The album's title track gained notable attention, especially in club circuits, highlighting Oakey's continued relevance in electronic music. Its sound contributed to the evolving landscape of synth-pop during the late '90s and has since been referenced by contemporary artists drawing inspiration from that era.
