Ancient Future - Dreamchaser


 

Dreamchaser debuted at #2 on the May 1989 JAZZIZ National Airplay chart. It received a 10 out of 10 rating in CD REVIEW.

"This one will sweep you off your feet! Dreamchaser establishes Ancient Future as a world-class music group. A dazzling variety of instruments are heard, from sitars and guitars to violins (acoustic and electric) and keyboards, and percussion instruments from African talking drum to dumbek, gamelan, cymbals and kalimba. This is an exciting album that really moves, and features one cut in the 'spirit of the Andes'." -- HEARTBEATS, BACKROADS DIST.
