A daydreaming fantasy in a mellow point of view. What potential reality exists in a mirage, and what exists in the spectrum of one?

Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Beautifully arranged & played classic acoustic with a few v.nicely placed surprise retro style synth lines Just flows along like a river golden... Pure magic
I'm very late in song comments due to major computer problems, Carlo. But please know that I think this song really captured the Daydreams Song Theme of the 7/6/13 CBC Song Challenge. Your guitar and other instrumentation are perfect for the intended daydream/mirage mood... This is a very original and imaginative song. Thank you for the pleasure of the daydreams journey, and the tune download.

Well this is downright genius - wonderful dreamscape groove backing with that sumptuous acoustic, amazing soaring melodies, and man where do you get all those fantastic SOUNDS? The tones and timbres you've chosen for this one are unbelievable. I shall need to nip out and buy a hat tomorrow Carlo so I can take it off to you :D. Wondrous stuff and I'm bagging it for my iPhomabob

Hi Carlo, like the way this floats especially like the guitar, very unusual choice of instruments but all fits well to make this an overall great listen.

I agree with Ralph about the West Coast psychedelia...elements of this and your own magic make for a truly captivating piece of music. Gentle, engaging, kind of mystical....with a sort of strangeness that stirs the curiosity in all of us. Excellent track.
A timewarp within a dream. great hamonization, the chorus, the breakdown - just a fantistic journey.

Very dreamy, Carlo. Even has a bit of that west coast psychedelia gong on. Free-as-a-bird soloing.

Here I recognize your style, your specific sound, immediately. The dreamy component is always there in your music, very strong this time. I wonder where I am, but the only thing I want is to be lifted up and carried away by your atmospheres. This is dreaming (better not while driving a car). Nice!
