Wabookè Eclectic, electric headdress figure: quam te memorem virgo? O dea certe. Let the Latin light in all be forgotten; this is all to say, this album feels like the sister to *Future Angels,* a not-much-more uptempo album with good variety. Personally, I love the moodal juxtaposition of the first two songs. What's more, it's a larger album with its 14 songs. Undoubtedly on the upper end of Phantasia's music, and a certain list-topper for me. Favorite track: Memory Leaks.

about

Released in 1985, Dream Collector (夢の収集家) stands as Phantasia's longest and most ambitious project, with a runtime of one hour. By this time, the band had firmly established themselves in the jazz fusion scene, and this album marked a peak in their popularity.

Dream Collector also revisits their roots, featuring modal and experimental jazz compositions that echo the spirit of their earlier trio formation. Driven by hypnotic basslines and steady drum grooves, these pieces create a trance-like foundation, while progressive layers of improvisation from horns, keys, and guitars weave emotional and dynamic textures.
