Purpose: This thread serves as a forum for documenting, informing, sharing and reminiscing about classic EDM music videos.

What: Classic EDM music videos (pre-2000 EDM - not to include hip-hop, R&B nor rap or it's related forms)

Why:

1. EDM music videos did not receive significant airplay in the 1990s. Even with specialty channels like BPMtv - many of the older videos still do not get played.
   
2. For people who listened to EDM in the 1990s - rediscovering the music that influenced your tastes, preferences and for many your (current/past) social group.
   
3. For those who did NOT listen to EDM in the 1990s - share some of the classic EDM that your peers enjoyed, that you may also enjoy and (possibly/likely) influenced the artists popular today.

I'll start off to demonstrate what exactly is to be accomplished within this thread:

Many of the videos from the early/mid-90s are "euro" videos because the genre was commercially popular enough (mostly in Europe/Canada) to justify the expense of having a music video made. Examples:

Pharao - "Secrets": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SX5NbPBQ1M
Dr. Alban - "Let The Beat Go On": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmvVuRFNcLE
Joee - "Feel It In The Air": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3fmDTx9ylM
Becca - "You Make Me Feel": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjUgj56V-Bk
Emjay - "In Your Arms": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtmZeup4ZkI
Maxx - "Getaway": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ocLN4Dc3I
Fun Factory - "Take Your Chance": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIkRM1kHGdM
BG & The Prince of Rap - "Color Of My Dreams": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfFnjTHIR6w
2 Brothers On The 4th Floor - "Dreams": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du6lnLXptMQ
Snap! - "Rhythym Is A Dancer": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCEDBf3EJAE
MC Sar & The Real McCoy - "Automatic Lover": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHmBnwNUVJg
The Free - "Dance The Night Away": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX8oK9pJqi0
N-Trance - "Set You Free": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1lwAEGWbUs
Urban Cookie Collective - "The Key, The Secret": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi4o6ixD9Ps
Haddaway - "What Is Love": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjYYd1swTuM
Chicane - "Sunstroke": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiaFTmOH5l8

BUT not everything was Euro (albeit some was pretty close). Some of the more popular or commercial sounding non-Euro EDM (trance, house, acid, techno, etc.) found their way into videos - usually via a wealthy label or a group whom had industry connections (or a buddy with an Amiga capable of adding effects to camcorder recordings). Videos to note:

Pre-2000, so I figure Interstella 5555 / Discovery is not included.

For consistency purposes: The original release of the (EDM) song (not the video) should be before December 31, 1999.
