"Nightmare" was Brainbug's debut single, an instrumental from the Italian dance producer, who wrote, produced and played it himself (the writing credit reads Alberto Bertapelle). It first came out on 25 November 1996, but it took a British re-release on 21 April 1997 to turn it into a hit: 11 in the UK, 14 in Australia, 15 in Ireland.
Critics loved it, and it refused to lie down. That November it was back once more, paired as a double A-side with his next single, "Benedictus", and it climbed to 24 in Britain and 25 in Ireland. No words, no singer: just a club track that traveled on its own steam.
