"Temptation Waits" is a 1998 alternative rock song performed by the band Garbage and is featured in their second studio album ''Version 2.0'' as the opening song. "Temptation Waits" was not released as an international single, but was released as an airplay-only sixth single in Spain to mark the year-long chart run of ''Version 2.0'' on the Spanish album charts〔"Temptation Waits" press release. Retrieved 2010-01-29〕 and to mark its certification of the European Platinum Award by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for 1 million sales of ''Version 2.0'' across Europe. In North America, "Temptation Waits" was licensed to TV's ''Angel'', ''Dawson's Creek'', ''The Sopranos'' and ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', and was included on the 1999 tie-in ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album''. ==Recording and Production== Garbage began writing their second album, which would go under the working title of ''Sad Alcoholic Clowns'', in March 1997 in the band's label-head Jerry Moss's Friday Harbor, Washington, vacation house. The group demoed and made rough outlines for new songs, of which "Temptation", was one of. When they felt they had made a good start, Garbage took the work they made in Washington back to their Madison, Wisconsin base at Smart Studios and begin fleshing out the ideas and rough sketches over the following year. Garbage intended their second album to build upon the framework, music style and musical template laid down by their first release; to create a rapprochement between the "high-tech and low-down, the now sound and of golden memories" and wear musical references to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s: the production of "Temptation" nodded towards Isaac Hayes and Donna Summer's disco period; Garbage recorded all of their work for the second album through a 48-track digital system digitally, direct to hard drives utilizing a 24bit Pro Tools rig. Much of the percussion was recorded in a disused candy factory located in Madison; Butch Vig, Marker and sound engineer Billy Bush set up a drum kit within the factory and recorded various fills, utilising the acoustics of the dilapidated building. Forced to stop after local police officers responded to complaints about the noise, some of the percussion was later incorporated into "Temptation Waits" (and also found its way into "I Think I'm Paranoid" and "Hammering in My Head").〔 The guitars would typically be run through either a filter or a wah wah pedal, and then gated off a sixteenth-note pulse to create a keyboard-like effect. Instead of using synth bass, Garbage had Daniel Shulman perform electric bass on "Temptation", mixed in with sub-bass. The band had wanted to use a theremin to create the whistle-like melodic line on the outro, and had hired one for use at the studio. The band couldn't perform the instrument well, and so utilized a sound created by an analog modeling synthesizer instead.〔''Keyboard'', "Case Study: The Making of ''Version 2.0''", by Greg Rule, published August 1999 issue.〕 Garbage completed recording, producing and mixing of their second album in mid-February 1998, and the album was given the title ''Version 2.0''. "Temptation", which had by now been finalized as "Temptation Waits", was tracklisted as the album's opening song. ''Version 2.0'' was released worldwide on May 11 of that year; despite a slow start, ''Version 2.0'' went on to equal its predecessor, selling over four million copies and achieving platinum-certification in many territories, including United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.〔''Beautifulgarbage'' press release.
