It's on the apple music, however, and every song is good. Raves were a time where you could listen to techno and house music in a giant space with the awesomest sound, and sit in a massage circle, with Power Rangers, and lasers. I mean, that's if you were on ecstasy. I did ecstasy one time, and nothing happened, and I never wanted to spend the the $25+ again. But it was also a wonderful place where you could do acid. Sure bad things happen at raves, but bad things happen everywhere. That's why there's self-defense classes and mace 4 yr keychain and martial arts, etc. I learned about the best number one music at raves.
