This album has so many amazing moments that it's stupid to even try to count them. The atmospheres, moods, sounds, melodies are all very much psychedelic and dream-like. Extraordinaire. Created in the depths of one's mind. A complete breath of fresh air in a dust filled room that is the norm. You can definitely hear Hallucinogen/sphongle influence in Artha's music, but Artha didn't copy and paste, he created something new. Another thing Artha innovated was the bassline's rhythms. The whole album has this distinct style of very deep and dark bassline, but it's rhythms keep changing throughout, it's amazing what he did with it. The effects aren't just bleeps and bloops either.
Influencing Dreams is goa-trance made into psychedelic again. Most modern 'psytrance' and this are worlds apart. The other is predictable, cheesy, repetitive even very much annoying, but the other on the other hand, is always changing, dynamic, interesting, has a ton of of soul and power. The latter one is Artha. It should be reverse, but it isn't. I only hope Artha's debut will, literally, influence others artists dreams to innovate, rather than conform to the norm that has been going on for a long time now. I highly suggest you take the time, put headphones on, close your eyes and let this album take you with it. There isn't a moment of bad here. Thank you Cronomi, thank you Artha.
Can't think of a better way to start a new decade, really.
