Synopsis

Amazon.com
Although the Dream Warriors' debut was released in 1991--the same year as De La Soul Is Dead and Definition of Sound's Love & Life--the album never received proper recognition. Mixing together jazz (the first song is "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style," and it out-loops anything Us3 ever did) and pop, crossing De La's "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" sensibilities with P.M. Dawn's summery touch, and laying down one hell of a groove, the Dream Warriors stepped up to the plate--only no one showed up to play the field. Years later the album sounds just as good as it did back then. --Randy Silver

CD Reviews

The Dream Warriors! Wow! I remember this album!
Nathan | Australia | 11/21/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"it's great. i've actually looked for this album in music stores but couldn't find it until i remembered that amazon has the song title search (i didn't remember the name of the musicians). i did remember the names of 2 songs though: "Face In The Basin" and "Do Not Feed The Alligators".The music is kind of like a laid-back rap, with similar sound to 'De La Soul' as others mentioned. i'd buy it mostly for the nostalgia factor, but also because of those crazy lyrics and the corny sound. my cousins and i listened to this stuff when we were kids and we still love it."
My Definition Of A Bombastic Rap CD

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I really don't know why they didn't get much credit or air play, but this CD is, in my opinion, one of the most dynamic rap cds ever produced. Their sound was a rare thing only used by a handful if not less artists. De La Soul, Digable Planets are 2 that come to mind. They had a fairly big single with My Definition of a Bombastic Jazz Style, however far from as big as it should have been. This cd is nothing but a nice happy place. There is no drama or tales of struggle, just simple fun music. This is quite a gem, pick it up, its what being unique is all about."
