Opus III - It's a Fine Day (1992)

Opus III was a techno and house music group from England who had major success on the UK singles charts and on the U.S. Dance chart. The group consisted of vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw and producers/musicians Kevin (The Fly) Dodds, Ian (Shitpipe) Munro and Nigel (Spider) Walton. Kevin Dodds previously played with cult gay garage band The Happy Bras. The group members also promoted a strong environmental message through their lyrics, album liner notes and photo and video imagery.

Their debut album Mind Fruit produced the track "It's a Fine Day", a cover of a 1983 single by Jane & Barton, which topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1992 and reached number five on the UK singles chart.

The song, now considered a house music classic, is the basis of Orbital's 1993 track, "Halcyon + On + On", found on their second eponymous album (the "la la la" section of the "It's A Fine Day" chorus was backmasked and sampled throughout the song). (WikiPedia)
