Sometimes a single piece of
music can define an
era - this is often especially true in
retrospect (for an example think
Fool's Gold by
The Stone Roses for the
Madchester period in
British music).
In the case of
rave, perhaps the most enduring of tunes is
Baby D's
Let me be your fantasy. Embodying the entire spirit of
rave parties and the effects of
ecstasy, together with a beautiful melancholic melody,
Let me be your fantasy was a get in the mood party opener or gloriously climactic party ending in its day, and is still usually a
peak moment now at
Old Skool revival
parties. It typifies the kind of dance tunes that make you just stand there, worshipful arms raised to the sky, radiating a beatific expression of love and contentment.
There are other contenders for defining pieces of rave music. If interested you might want to listen to
The Prodigy's
Out of Space, or even
SL2's
On a ragga tip. There is a difference though...these two tunes might make you
feel the dancefloor phunk, but the lack of real lyrics will fail to hit the truly spiritual note within you that makes
Let me be your fantasy the
holiest of holies it is.
