Sasha Relives D:Ream Nightmare

Superstar DJ Sasha is releasing a special edition of his recent Global Underground compilation Involver which contains a bonus CD featuring eight of his best known remixes including his 1992 version D: Ream's U R The Best Thing.

The release could spark a change of fortunes for D:Ream's Peter Cunnah whose music career virtually collapsed overnight after he unwisely allowed Britain's Labour Party to use his Things Can Only Get Bettter track as their election campaign song in 1997. Since then the Irish singer's main claim to fame has been to feature in a gay sex fantasy anecdote of Robbie Williams, which first appeared in US magazine The Advocate in 2002, then his autobiography and bow the Sunday Mirror (last weekend.) D: Ream were supporting Williams and going on stage together every night.

"Natasha and I were just getting down to it," Robbie says (Mirror/ biography).

"I fell asleep after nine shows on the trot I was knackered. I was chatting to Peter in my dream and asked him whether we had gone down well, and then I said, "Oh
Peter"," said Robbie.

Other mixes included on Sasha's collection include Eat Static (Gulf Breeze), BT (Embracing the Sunshine) and The Chemical Brothers (Out Of Control). Release date is October 11.
