The third album from this band from Spain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of handclapping, drums, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, flute and saxophone.
The band returned again for their third album after releasing two very good albums.
The first two albums gave us some fusion in the vein of Mahavishnu Orchestra. The music was very fast at times.
One year has gone and there has been some changes when it comes to the music.
The tempo has been slowed down and the band has incorporated some flamenco and other Spanish folk music into their brand of fusion.
There is still some Mahavishnu Orchestra influences here and fans of that band will also really enjoy this album. It can be argued that Aurora Clara has inherited Mahavishnu Orchestra's land and sound.
There is still a lot of very good solos here. Flutes, saxophones, guitars and keyboards solos.
This album also showcases another side of this hugely impressive band. The band can slow down, incorporate Spanish music and still be as good as they were on the first two albums. That is pretty impressive.
Dreams is indeed a very good album and one to check out if fusion and Spanish folk is your thing. I am again pretty impressed by this band.
