Formed by Peter Cunnah and Al McKenzie in 1991, D:Ream was originally designed to be fronted by a female diva with Peter in a writing and production role and Al in a DJ role within a live band setup. An important live date arrived before the diva role had been filled and Peter, having written the tunes, found himself fronting, albeit somewhat reluctantly, he learned to love it.
By late 1991, D:Ream had built a solid club reputation through PA'sand parties and had been touted as the act that could bring back vocal and the song onto the dancefloor, at the time dominated by instrumentals and samples.
D:Ream's initial reputation lay in an ongoing series of 12" white label mixes of 'U R The Best Thing' which soon topped the dance charts.
The combination of strong songwriting and fat grooves kept this and 'Things Can Only Get Better', fresh on the dance floor throughout some 18 months, the latters anthemic optimism reflecting the early 90's clubland positivity and energy. 12"promos by DJ friends like Sasha, Leftfield, Sine and David Moralessecured a reputation for hot low level marketing with attitiude but Peter was already interested in evolving the tunes toward shorter radio friendly 7" formats in the run-up to a debut album
