Product Description

Description
Kitaro has always shown a flair for the dramatic with his serious synthesizer opuses, but on DREAM, he lets loose with a hitherto unexpressed romanticism, couched in showy orchestral arrangements and ecstatic love ballads. Added to the mixis Jon Anderson, whose vocals and lyrics take center stage on about half of the songs on this highly theatrical album.
Kitaro's showstopper, "Lady of Dreams", marries a memorable accordion-laced cabaret melody with spectacular symphonicflourishes. Steve Bailey's fretless bass drives the tuneful"Agreement", which sounds like a FRAGILE-era Yes. In keeping with the aggressively entertaining songs, even "Dream of Chant"--a drone for vocals, tabla, and harmonium--is less a peaceful meditation than a tense mood piece punctuated by violent percussion. DREAM culminates in the exhilarating "Island of Life", which begins as a sweet synth lullaby, and builds to an ecstatic crescendo of passionate singing and crystalline strings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting - Kitaro's first CD containing vocal singing., 28 Oct 2003
For those who are unfamiliar with Kitaro's music, it is often described as music for meditation. It goes further than that. It's all about music from the heart and soul, and conveying the Earth, nature and the surrounding environment into the music. The music that he produces is really unique.

'Dream' is fascinating for a number of reasons. Traditionally, Kitaro's music has never contained any singing of any kind. The sounds have come from musical instruments. But in this CD, Kitaro introduces singing for the first time. The singing is performed by Jon Anderson from 'Yes'. The singing itself isn't too bad, although in all honesty, I still prefer Kitaro's music without singing.

Some parts of the music are uplifting and some are rather gloomy and depressing (similar in nature to an actual dream).

'Dream' is extremely enjoyable overall, and is a must for any true Kitaro fan.
