From Dream to Reality:

After a few years of existence, appears that the Tadream (and tangerinedream) list contains some musicians. So Joel Mullen, who manages one of these lists, naturally proposed to create a CDR conataining music by the list members. As he couldn't managed the project, I decided to continue the adventure. More a musicians gathering than a Tangerine Dream tribute, the project is now a reality as a lot of members spontaneously answered for their contribution. You will discover the hidden gifts of these musicians who can express their musical feelings through their works. Whatever the influence, music is the inner crying of the heart.
Enjoy,
Darklion
