4 stars Since 'Mirage' and again 'Dune' in 1979, KS albums have lost their splendor; I buy them, I listen to them and I have a regret; comes this 'Dreams'! What will this apprentice sorcerer offer us?

1. A Classical Move fast, frank, direct attack; and the slap, a rush of adrenaline with a newer, younger, more alert sound, a bit like Steve Austin 2 Five To Four entered Asian, Japanese, JAPAN style. Metronomic, vibratory, hypnotic, repetitive and captivating, but too predictable and lacking that little something to take us higher; a slight jazzy variation gives freshness before the air resumes its trajectory 3 Dreams... or 'Matrix' before its time... yes I know I have a hell of a memory... in short the unbeatable piece or how in less than 10 minutes you leave in space time, in sleep, in limbo, in Olympus, ah I just saw a demigod pass by just now... angelic choirs, an inevitable rise; halfway through and Ulli's percussion arrives and gives even more weight; 2 minutes more, you are in a trance so you cannot see your watch (bracelet which gave the time and nothing else before the change of millennium) and this is the end, you feel that the sound is fading, you can get your hair back, striking title 4 Flexible listened to later since on LP nada; the time of the CDs arriving which made it possible to add a number of drawer tracks; a piece with a steel or slide guitar or other fast one that stands out but gets to the point 5 Klaustrophony yes the 2nd side is a title, average in fact; metronome, repetitive, monotone, trembling ice strings; a more refined, more direct piece, for the moment we are on the same basis as the previous ones, roughly 10 minutes long; yes a theme and then nada, basta; synthetic choirs, we have just exceeded the 10 minutes mark of side A; well the crescendo is lethargic, in mode you move forward but slowly so as not to disturb the listener, it's monolithic I warned, but the choirs and the drums animate; 15 minutes yes I had time to look at the moon, is it going to light up tonight... and bam a voice like in the future HIPNOSIS and their evil Anna, well there it's Ian who sings.. . often I don't like when there is a voice... strangely the duration to perceive it, the frantic rhythm of the air, the latency, in short I am won over; the 80 will also have changed my perception; 22 mins yes it went by quickly I tell you... the sound increases, last stand before the inevitable end, which I feel is near, which I guess, which surprises me! A good album for those who don't want to embark on 30' tracks.
