ALBUM REVIEW
Dream Aria's album In The Wake is comprised of thirteen eclectic and vocal-laden tracks running just over 50 minutes. Superb production by Garry Flint graces both the vocal treatment and instrumental arrangements. While Ann's voice carries both lead and backing vocal parts, occasional male vocals join in. Ann has an extensive range and while most comfortably similar to Lisa Bouchelle her operatic stylings are most similar to Sarah Brightman. The band is instrumentally strong and everso capable as the instrumental solo sections in "Promise" clearly illustrate. Dream Aria has created an album of diverse textures built on a progressive rock foundation. Ann Burstyn's powerful and wide ranging vocals perfectly compliment rich instrumental arrangements from quiet ballads to all out rock songs both in the lead and backing harmony sections. Dream Aria is a very talented ensemble fronted by an outstanding vocalist. We are extremely anxious to hear more from the group very soon. Ref. TransSiberian Orchestra. (Just for Kicks)
