Dream of me (Based on Love's Theme) - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

'Love's Theme' is an instrumental piece recorded by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra and released in 1973. The recording, with a large string orchestra and wah-wah guitar, is considered to be an influence to the disco sound, which would explode in popularity the following year.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark used the tune to create the track 'Dream of me', released as the second single from their 1993 album 'Liberator'. Promoted with a colourful and digitally enhanced music video, it reached number 24 in the UK singles chart and number 17 in the Dutch Top 40.
