Fantasy FM London - 98.6. This is 1990. I was just mid-teens. BBC national Radio 1 stopped transmissions at midnight. Pirates could then shine miles out of London, and in my case out some 40 miles away from London. Live The Dream was the background to a rave advert. I didn't know what a rave was. The track, like many more, sent the message that you could have some fun in life. I didn't know that my older friends & workmates were going to the original raves. What I understand now is that when they turned up for work at 7am in the supermarket, packing shelves, they were absolutely frikken spanked out of their minds. No sleep ravers. Sometimes I wish I was a few years older and had gone to the UK M25 orbital raves. Special times.

BomberOne and Moogy are spot on here. Absolutely grade A techno this!

lovely bleepy/detroity/acidy/techno/ambient track from Mr Bland!

Often misregarded as cheesy and easy, Dream Frequency nonetheless made an excellent debut with this one. You can clearly see how US Acid House influenced the man, especially in drums patterns, but the two "Live the Dream" tracks are also offering a very UK-ish moody ambience, smooth and mental that really holds some of the 3rd Summer Of Love spirit. "Feel It" too was heavily rotating back then, obviously showing how the continental sound (techno-house from the likes of Fierce Ruling Diva and the whole 90 Belgian scene) was penetrating UK at that time : a true heavy rave stomper, with the claps slashing on whirling smooth acid lines. The other tracks are variations on Live the Dream, but leaves a pleasant sensation once the stylus flight ends.
