Deep Chill Network: Dreams 4 Deep Chill Network: Dreams 4 (Dark Duck - 2001) Stephen Philips is dreaming again... More nocturnal visions from Deep Chill Network; the seven tracks (in almost 72 minutes) of Dreams 4 offer sublime deep-space listening through subtle, droning expanses of midnight. Cavernous ripples and breezy gaseousness imbue otherworldly At The Time (3:30) with appeallingly alien atmospheres. An interstellar string section seems to emit its multi-tiered radiance across the vast planes of Things Remembered. Slightly rougher airwaves are encountered in Consistent Reality which is denser, darker and more ominous. More sub-bass rumbliness as Things Forgotten plows darkly through time and space. The celestial symphonic serenity of 20-minute If Only precedes the even-lengthier (and similarly shapeless) finale'; riding upon these extended waves of floating loveliness means never having to ask, Why? (21:16). I've been enjoying Dreams 4 as a great source of drifting-off-to-sleep music, filling the nighttime air with vague-though-undeniable activities of depth and discovery. Deep Chill Network earns an 8.7 for bringing the inaccessibility of deep space home. From Dark Duck , of course.
