"I don't know much about this artist, not even his website gives much in the way of information about him. It seems that Autopsy Of A Dream is his first album. Obviously influenced by the psychedelic output of artists like Pink Floyd this is very much an experimental work inspired by dreams, or the idea of dreams. It's a journey into the mind's eye where images and thoughts come out of nowhere and switch incongruously to something else without reason. Like our dreams it's uncontrolled but has some organisation behind the apparent chaos.

Beginning the album is the most musical (and longest at nearly ten minutes) of the tracks, " Paradise ". Looped airy synth lines open up to soon be joined by flutey mysterious refrains. Then the piece gets underway properly with repeated bass notes in the background and a deformed voice whisperously saying the word "paradise" over and over. An amalgam of sound effects, some kind of like the clouded sound of geese cackles, wash to and fro as though we're on an ocean of the dreaming mind.

The second track "Goodbye Paradise" continues a move towards an increasing experimental style, though thankfully the album rarely moves completely away from a semblance of musicality. Riffs of guitar, or guitarish synth sounds, deliver half controlled melodies while accompanied by bass, zigzagging percussion, and a deep deformed voice saying "goodbye" - at least I think that's what it's saying.

In the last two tracks "Holy Heart" and "Keep Your Light On" organ drones form a bed over which a simple melody plays. It's an unexpected way for this journey into the more bizarre elements of dreams to end.

It's hard to get away from the fact that Autopsy Of A Dream is a peculiar album. I think it's likely to appeal to those who don't mind something avant-garde, experimental, weird - whatever you prefer to call it".
