After Rivers Gonna Rise, Peter Baumann ex-Tangerine Dream begun collaborating with O'Hearn by producing and mixing his albums. The ex-dreamers influence can be found strongly in this album, Ancient Dreams and Indigo. The music here is getting close to new age, darker, moodier but still not missing the joyous and playful elements of Rivers.. or El Dorado particularly on "Forever the Optimist". Every track here has an impact on the listener depending on the interpretation and only PH can do it. Many of the songs here will carry you to the apex and then drop you gliding with satisfaction. An example is 87 Dream of a lifetime. This music was my life sountrack 20 years ago, in my moments of solitude I play the tape cassete now that I have it on cd the memories come in full vividness. The music here is timeless as best portrayed by the cover of a world over dry land. The world is hope and joy and the crack land is the melancholic side of this album.
