Dream-trance atmosphere and a defining 1990s electronic anthem
B.B.E. was a European electronic music act formed by Italian producers Bruno Sanchioni and Bruno Quartier alongside French producer Emmanuel Top.

B.B.E. achieved its international breakthrough with Seven Days And One Week in 1996. Built around a hypnotic repeating melody and gradually developing arrangement, the instrumental reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and became a top-ten hit across numerous European countries.
The project followed its breakthrough with releases including Flash, Desire and Deeper Love (Symphonic Paradise), while its debut album Games arrived in 1998. Seven Days And One Week remains B.B.E.'s defining recording and an enduring classic of 1990s trance music.
