      They weren't yet called raves when I went, so I'm probably a couple years older, but I have a ton of the music that you heard played while this was in rotation. It's scattered in playlists on my channel, but if there are any others you want, lemme know and I'll try to help. I know how much it sucks to KNOW IT and NOT know it ... plus I'm saving the world one random act of kindness at a time, so I thought I'd offer.
      Much love!!! ✌

    A masterpiece and landmark of Western electronic music.
    It has the quality of 'raising the hairs on the back of your neck'. Similar to the early works of Phillip Glass and Kraftwerk.
    And such a mesmerising video that perfectly captures the period.
