Review / Comments ::

Destined to become a treasured and permanent part of my CD collection! Horse Dreams is a skillful and fantastical album in which William Paul, invites listeners of all ages to come and join in his celebration of the spirit, romance and lore of the horse. Rarely have I seen such a beautifully arranged album, not to mention the stunning artwork by Marti Adrian that graces the cover. All music is composed, performed and produced by the talented William Paul himself, to capture your imagination and lure you into joining him on a musical adventure across continents and through the ages.

Just as the artwork of Marti Adrian Opens in New Window inspired one of the songs on the CD, (10) Violet Spirit, this album would be awesome for use by those partaking in similar artistic or literary endeavors. I'm sure it will lift the spirits of my massage therapy clients as well.

It wasn't the innocent and airy notes of (2) Pegasus Flight which took to the skies and truly captured my imagination. But rather, it was the dramatic and sweeping historic tale of the majestic and beloved steed of Alexander the Great in, (3) For Bucephalus, which captured my heart. (6) Asian Moon Mare with it's koto, flute and gongs is phenomenal, and brought to mind the powerful images of horses captured in the art of Imperial China. Why not leave your troubles behind as you join the (8) Lonely Horse Caravan, and feel your cares slip away into the gently shifting sands of the quiet Arabian night. Return home from our magical musical journey to the somber notes of (13) Fallen Horse Tribute, which are indeed a most loving and fitting end to this exceptional CD.

I gladly bestow upon William Paul, Streams-of-Times' highest honors, a 5 out of 5 stars and Top Pick status! But when all is said and done, I can sum up this album in one word, Phenomenal!
