What Dreams Are Made Of!

"Ethereal landscapes washes over you when putting this disc into your CD player. The music on this disc is sure to please fans of Craig's earlier works such as 'Path of least Resistance'. It could even be described as a 'follow up' to that album, in fact, much of the sound has similarities to it.
But this is a more solid effort, and consists of more powerful and dramatic sequences that will make you feel transported deeper into space, like you were living a dream. And not one track out of the six sounds the same in terms of structure and flow. Each are a unique experience for the listener. The best tracks are 'One Moment Beyond' and 'Perspective of Disappearance'. Those tracks showcases what Craig, Skip & Ohms are capable of doing when they are at peak with their imagination and creativity
Lush atmospheres and synth swooshing surrealistic surroundings, with gorgeous analog effects is the order of the day, and make sure to buy yourself a copy right away. Don't miss this gem. Definetely their best work so far. Go Beyond The Portal and discover what dreams are made of.
Stunning work!"

"If you are into the spacier side of ambient, this is right up your alley. I can't stress that enough- it sounds like you are soaring and gliding along in outer space. I have no previous albums of Padilla, Ohms, or Murphy, but am a long time fan of ambient music, and can say that this is quality work. It is soothing enough to fall asleep to, but also is worth staying awake for, as you will likely want to do. So listen to the samples, and if you like what you hear, you have a good idea of what's on the album. More of the same, with nice variety and expansive sound."
