Synopsis

Album Description

Explore your dreams, by stretching the boundaries of your imagination. When you sleep, your brain waves go through a pattern of certain changes, classified as stages. These stages are know as the Sleep Cycle. A very low and slow frequency is sent from the front portion of the brain when you are in your deepest sleep or rest. Dreaming or desynchronized sleep is called Emergence. All mammals and birds have brain waves that show Emergence and the Sleep Cycle. During this cycle of rest, powers of the body are restored.

CD Reviews

Minimal ambient for maximum mood

I am the | Live from Kolob | 11/26/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Brannan Lane is less famous than Robert Rich and Steve Roach, but his best stuff is as good as either of these luminaries. On this CD he is at his most minimal and moody. Lane bills this CD as music to sleep to, and I suspect it would be good for that, provided you like to nod off with dark, pensive thoughts in your head. The mood is decidedly brooding and melancholic, and this music would be a great while reading a scary novel, or lying in a dark room contemplating your mortality."

A Sonic Teddy Bear

Gordon Danis | Eastchester, New York United States | 08/02/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Brannan Lane from Tennessee, an unlikely wellspring for ambient music, has created quite an understated gem. The music, no suprise, mirrors the vagaries of the human sleep cycle. This is more than functional music, however; despite the fact that the recording was made "softer and more warm sounding" than Brannan's previous projects, it is just as delightful in the foreground as it is when serving as a sonic teddy bear. With this release, Brannan Lane has started to get the recognition he deserves on ambient music newsletters and forums. Sweet dreams!"

Absolutely intoxicating!

""The music is absolutely intoxicating! The gentle pastoral ambience provokes brain wave activity. Deep and careful listeners will feel the neurotransmitters shooting across the synapses as the organic minimalism surrounds them.""
