This accomplishment goes out to all my musician friends working hard ,making great music, and most importantly, pursuing their dreams!

I remember getting the call in 2000 like it was yesterday..

Hey, do you want to play some metal riffs on a cartoon soundtrack called Dragonball Z? Oh..you mean the cartoon my son and I watch in spanish in the mornings before school, and he's totally in love with the show?

I'm totally in!! That was my break into making soundtrack music :)

Really gets real when you're shopping with your kid for a Wii game , and the Dvd is for sale down the aisle.

And, I'm still getting royalties God Bless!

The March 15th 2008 re-release charted in the Top 10 in 2 categories on..

DREAMSCAPE





Jul 16 2009 10:19 AM

hey!
we are trying to change something...
our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health.
so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two...
hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex!
kind regards!
DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany)
(new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)

PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
