iiO (or iio, pronounced "eye-oh") is a New York City based dance music act composed solely of producer/songwriter Markus Moser. Former members include vocalist/songwriter Nadia Ali, who left in 2005 to pursue a solo career. iiO are best known for their 2001 hit "Rapture", the lyrics to which were allegedly inspired by a meeting that occurred between Nadia Ali and an unidentified nightclub patron. Originally named Vaiio, a derivation of the Sony VAIO laptop on which the duo was creating much of their early work, the "Va" was dropped to prevent potential legal problems with Sony.
"Rapture" is the first single released from iiO's debut album, Poetica, which launched the duo into fame.
It starts with a synth making some effects until the beat starts. Then the song unfolds, including its catchy chorus.
The song talks about a woman who met a man in a club, and how she is deeply passionate about him. It mixes holy terms with words describing her emotional feelings for him, indicating that her love is so passionate, it is almost a divine experience for her.
The video to Rapture features the duo, one of the few electronica videos that does so, since usually Models are hired to appear in the video, and the artists do a cameo. The video develops in a technological city, Nadia Ali is seen in a room full of machines that scan her, and eventually digitalize her, and projects her hologram high above the city, while Markus Moser is seen in a car driving through the city. The 2008 release of Rapture Reconstruction features a limited re-edited video as a multimedia bonus. It does not change the "storyline" of the clip, but includes many different angles and scenes to the original version.

Lyric of ... Iio - Rapture
La lalala lala lalala lala
La lalala lala lalala lala
The night I laid my eyes on you,
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time all my love where you been
Mi amore don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mesmerised in every way
Keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
Always melting in your heat
Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide as I'm flying through heaven
Mi amore don't you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore don't you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
La lalala lala lalala lala
La lalala lala lalala lala
Mi amore don't you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore don't you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
La lalala lala lalala lala
La lalala lala lalala lala
