[BUTTERBALL]

I bought my 7" vinyl copy from Woolworths a couple of weeks after it had come out of the top 40 for 25p. One of the bargains of the decade!

For a moment then I thought you was on about the country

All FSOL stuff is good. It reminds me of Oriana's on a friday night. Those were the days!

 

[Curious Orange]

Good Stuff!!

The Lifeforms album is one of my favourite records of all time.

 

[Shankly Seagull hard @ work]

The Astoria in London in '94

Freedom to Dance - 6 Years of House.

Happy memories..."TUNE"!!!

 

[Albion Dan]

One of the best! I seem to rememebr FSOL bringing out some tasty remixes of it a few years back but none could touch the original.

I watched that mashed in 1992 a week ago and they played it after Prodigy "Out of Space". Happy Days!

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Great stuff

Top four rave classics

1. Messiah - Temple of Dreams
2. Pragha Khan - Injected with a poison
3. Moby - Feelin' so Real
4. FSOL - Papua New Guinea

And while we're there, this is a top site.

no, THE best rave track was baby D's let me be your fantasy. I believe it was voted as such by listeners on Kiss (before it turned into a pile of steaming commercial poo) for about 4 years in a row.

but then where do you draw the line between house and rave? In which case the best Cafe Del Mar, which i damn sure came out in 91-92 originally - any real trainspotter care to correct?

top site, know what im doing the rest of the day

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I class Baby D alongside N Trance's Set me Free. Great tracks. Probably would've been in the top 5 had they not been played to death over the past 10 years.

Also probably worth mentioning X-Project's - Snowman (Walking in the Air) If anyone has a copy they're willing to sell, PM me. Likewise if you can find the Safri Duo version.
Top $ paid.

I f***ing hate that Baby d tune, it used to make me come down its so cheesy!

The Top Rave tunes would be Energy Flash, bizarre inc - playing with knives, Bombscare - 2 bad mice!!!!

Don't jest. I'm not sure if it's Aled or not, but it certainly is a choirboy.

I'm quite a fan of the tune (it's a weird quirky rave thing) and I have several versions.

I have the Dub version by Digital Dream Baby circa 1991 and I used to have the X-project version on tape. I've been trying to get X-project's and Safri Duo's version on vinyl for an eternity but they're like gold dust.

You can get a sniff of X-Project's effort on this pirate radio clip
