[@cranebeg]

Snap.

[@brianbarton989]

Me too.

[@ctheripper9630]

Same! It's been in my head for decades. Probably haven't heard it properly since the mid-90s 😳

[@LorraineShipp-nb7ok]

Love this song. Great they are touring the UK and coming Bristol.😊

[@simontemplar404]

This was the sound of life in 1995. Glorious days, we had so much fun when we were in our thirties and this was the soundtrack to it.

[@Aditbe-qg3ff]

Wow! Increible! Uno de mis grandes temas favoritos de Los 90... superrrrrr

[@theculturedthug6609]

Seen these at a festival years ago when this tune came on it went OFF!!! Brilliant.

[@Jasonm25870]

Used to be the theme music to Football League Extra in about 1996 / 97

[@Stevieg496]

Yeah it was, at about 2 in the morning on Itv, on Tuesdays if my mind serves me right.

[@davedogge2280]

yeah but wasn't it a different version to this ? it had the chorus repeated with the voice going "aaahhoooooooo aaaahhhhhooooo !!"

[@oneman2864]

They stole it, The again? We did. Sampling was so cool then

[@Geoff_Dearth]

@@davedogge2280 It was just an edited version, it wasn't gonna be the whole song. Loved it anyway, I'm here because of Football League Extra!

I was at Knebworth. I've seen Dreadzone since then, still brill ! :) ♥

[@toir77]

In my top ten tracks of the 90's, I kept seeing these guys on my adventures hitchhiking from festival to festival. xxx

[@rciscon]

What a wonderful song. This stirs my soul every time I hear it. Bravo Dreadzone!

[@martindoman6385]

I will never understand how this band is so underrated.

[@dazeyevans9093]

This was played at my wedding in 97 and I'm going to see them in 6 weeks time at the Green Meadows festie [yes we are still married !]

Did you go or did it get COVIDed and canceled?

[@AmusedAirplaneWindow-jp4js]

Ahhhhhh, wish I could of heard it 😂🎉😊

[@DaveAndBeth1978]

Second Light - one of the best Electronica albums ever, in the era where there were some absolutely brilliant Electronica albums too (Second Toughest In The Infants by Underworld, Dead Elvis by Death In Vegas, Leftism by Leftfield, and Dead Cities by The Future Sound Of London to name four of my other favourites from that time)

[@Micropixie_MPX]

totally agree!

[@jasbk]

I once sent an email to a dreadzone website asking a question about Little Britain, this was back in 1997, I got a reply from Leo Williams of all people! the internet was a different beast back then. I felt really proud of that email and kept it for 3 years till hotmail when tits up.. To lad Leo!

[@sourjellybaby4286]

I remember stumbling into their set at Glastonbury and loving it.

[@jamesb5740]

Maybe the best song intro ever "Britain today is a powerhouse. Ideas, Experiments and imagination" "BOE!!!"

[@carlkamuti]

Great sample from the Malcolm McDowell film If...

[@harrybassett9433]

Still a brilliant live band in 2022

[@graemebailey1968]

One of the best dance tunes.......ever.

[@jasmineclulow]

The lack of views on this song is upsetting

[@jackjude]

Im not sure, the media at the time loved playing though

[@elcordinho2202]

so glad I found it after so many years...

[@tomlevick2935]

Football league extra. Good times from a lost period

[@alanoneill3065]

I tuned into John Peel show to record a Dreadzone c1995 session....luckily I had a cassette handy..recorded the complete session..think that became Second Light

[@zaihiraray]

This song is wonderful. I recall hearing it from years ago, and kept hearing it in my dreams. It's so innovatively creative. The vocals perfectly enhance the musical accompaniment. It's dreamy and yet dynamic

[@kaspahourn-bf7em]

All of you are right

[@funnynewsvoiceovers1977]

The best loved these since the 90s

[@thehoundclegane]

Magical memories of Glastonbury festival. I was walking down from the campsite toward the Pyramid stage when this started playing on the sound system. Everyone (yes, EVERYONE) in the crowd started bouncing when the beat dropped. It truly was beautiful.

[@alisterowens4109]

Always rember finding this on a free Tennets lager mini cd. what a fucking tune.............

[@djbillybopdjbillybop2817]

I used this when I would do the UK top 40 as my backing Track still have it.

[@BenStone_]

Cracking tune!!.. lucky enough to own the 12" version!!

[@TheEmanep]

I heard this at Knebworth in 1996 and it was one of the best performances ...such a beautiful tune.

[@kyrkosekaterinaris1328]

90s euphoria at its finest!

[@SimonB198207]

"Oh look Andy, it's that music by Dreadzone, called 'Little Britain'" "Yeah I know." "Remember the '90s'? I wish I was still back there." "There were alright..." "Alright? But I thought you said the 1990s were a golden age, a time that will never be equalled, where music and culture were at their very peak.." "Yeah, I know. (pause) I want crisps."

[@TheJnatch]

HA!

[@philipkolyos8230]

Loved this tune for 20 odd years...👍

[@basildonboroughhistoricalg1800]

I remember Radio 1 playing this to death, predicting it to be a massive hit. It just made the Top 20.

[@descheers2217]

It's funny u should say that, I was thinking the same thing. They played it alot on local radio too along with dubstar not so manic now.

[@jojones2687]

They hammered it in January 1996. I was 18 and working in a warehouse with Radio 1 on all day. In February I went backpacking around Australia and didn’t hear it again until a few months ago when it popped up on my Spotify. I loved it then and love it now!

[@siep6922]

Huge in our local, High Wycombe, 1996. And ever since.

[@brian3174]

Did the security at all major gigs from 92 till 2006 dreazone wasn't a group it was a collection of artists that's line changed some due to own bands tours read groups lineup and groups lineups from seen numerous big names appear

[@ramboMat100]

Such "Drum & Bass" golden 90s :D

[@andrewpage8937]

These sounds invoke the spirit of Blake’s Albion. There’s more to us than boat-stopping Brexiteers, snivelling at the feet of the House of Saxe Coburg. When the Angel of the North takes flight over Stonehenge and Arthur rises again, we will shed the Norman Yoke and build The New Jerusalem!
