"Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic" is a remix album by Prince (his stage name at that time being an unpronounceable symbol, see cover art), released via mail exclusively through the [http://www.npgmc.com NPG Music Club] , an Internet subscription service, on 29 April, 2000. The album is a remix of "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic", released the previous year.

The album makes a number of alterations to its predecessor. Five tracks ("Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic", "Undisputed (The Moneyappolis Mix)", "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold", "Hot Wit U (Nasty Girl Remix)" and "Man'O'War (Remix)") have been remixed or had substantial musical elements added. Seven tracks ("So Far, So Pleased", "I Love U, but I Don't Trust U Anymore", "Silly Game", "Whatever U Do, Wherever U Go", "The Sun, the Moon and Stars", "Tangerine" and "Prettyman") are mostly unchanged, save for slightly longer fade-outs or extended pieces of music. Lastly, two tracks, "Strange but True" and "Everyday Is a Winding Road", have been removed and replaced by the moody "Beautiful Strange", a previously unreleased track written in 1998.

As it was released via the fan-centric NPG Music Club, the album received virtually no attention from wider media. However, with several improved songs, the removal of two weaker tracks, and the addition of "Beautiful Strange", one of the album's highlights, fans generally consider "Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic" to be superior to its predecessor.
