“The music on Are You Dreaming? was born our of a very special dimension, at a time when a magical window opened into the world from the cosmos.” Thus opens the story in the enclosed booklet. “We peered in and we heard music. Was it music from the future or the past? Was it from Earth or from another star system? Perhaps it was from ancient visitors who stayed here only a short while.”
It's a dazzling stellar light show for the ears. “A celebration of galactic proportions!” proclaims the title cut. Omigosh. It's like Yellow Submarine meets sacred chant meets Reggae meets trance beat meets your soul meets your feet. And more. —Chiwah
