"Dream of Me (Based on Love's Theme)" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in July 1993 by Virgin Records as the second single from their ninth studio album, Liberator (1993). The song uses a sample from "Love's Theme", a 1973 instrumental piece recorded by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. It was remixed by Gregg Jackman for release as a single and reached the top 30 in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.




Critical reception


Upon its release, Gina Morris of NME described "Dream of Me" as "a simple song in three parts; an upfront drum machine, 'spooky' echoed vocals and sick sentiment". She added that one of the CD single's additional tracks, a live version of "Enola Gay", serves "to remind us why [OMD] exist at all. Just." Larry Flick, writing for the US magazine Billboard, praised it as "a sparkling pop bauble that will have you twirling back in time to your favorite disco memories". He noted that the "tune itself is pretty and engaging" and felt it is "well-served by Andy McCluskey's warmly familiar voice".
