WHOSE DREAM?

' Tim Correll o Review of BunChakeze Whose Dream? Sound: Overall. After reading the liner notes I feel your pain brother! I was going through about the same thing at the same time! 1985 you must have recorded on 16 track and of course tape! Probably not in a million dollar studio either. For what you had available to you, I think the sound is excellent! Music: Overall. Reminiscent of early Genesis and Pink Floyd with a latin twist at times. Chord progression is out of this world, awesome! Well written lyrics. Overall mixed right on the money!! Musicianship: All players. Very diverse, all talented musicians. vocals are some of the best I have ever heard from a prog band. Everything tastefully written and played. Vocals: well written, well phrased, well sang and at times sounds a little like Peter Gabriel with Genesis, Steve Walsh and Geoff Tate in the lower register (which Geoff Tate is a vocal god to this day)! Great job on vocals. Joey and Colin both vocals are excellent! I would be very proud to have done this work!! Drums:Cliff Deighton. Sounds like Genesis Live Album, which still to this day is one of the best drum sounds ever! Just my opinion. Mix on drums is spot on!! Playing kind of reminiscent of Phill Collins and Neil Peart and Nick Mason! But even more diverse than these guys. Bass: Gary Derrick. Sound is rich and full of low end and punch the whole album. Another great mix. But I will say it again very diverse playing. Piano: sound excellent, mix excellent, playing excellent. Great job!! and great add!! Synthesizer: sound excellent, mix excellent, playing excellent. Alot of the sound is reminiscent of Pink Floyd, ELP & Genesis. And last but definately not least Guitar Mr. Tench AKA G.G. I'm a drummer and singer at heart, but I am also a guitar fanatic!! I like many guitar players some of which are Hackett, Livgren, Gilmore, DeMeola, Fripp & Belew and I heard all of them in your playing! Again totally blown away!! You are an extremely talented muscian. I am humbled and honored to know you! I love the way you blend the guitar in and out with vocals that is a true art that many people (listener & musician) miss! The acoustic guitar work something that no one does anymore very refreshing to hear! The only cons is the mix is not loud enough, the album is not long enough. The fact that you guys did not continue on is such a huge loss to the music world! I don't think I could write enough words to express what I feel for this album. It is much better than I expected, I was totally blown away by it!! You guys were behind the time and before the new prog scene. It's all about timing! And it is definately the time for a rebirth of this band.
