Hmmm... trippy! Reminds me of some newer Ulver
material, but with more electronic herbalism. Dream
System is a brand new project that is controlled by 2 individuals by
the name of Thomas and Stanley. This debut release has a lot of elements
such as heavy guitars, heavy electronics, melodic keys, sampling and many
types of vocals. “Traveling After Midnight” is in essence, what
it sounds like in the title. Something you can put on continual play in
your disc player overnight and also material you could crank after midnight
to mellow out a bit following a good show or party. You take say- Ordo Rosarius
Equilibrio or Devil Doll and add Ulver or 3rd & the Mortal and you sorta
have something closer to the Dream System norm. It's hard to really sit
and review this without being conked out on the couch or something, but
then you wouldn't want to. It's mesmerizing (like "Metropolis"),
but also has some very heavy, technotronic and uneasy listening parts (like
"One of Many Others"). Different. If you are a daring listener,
Dream System is perfect for you!
