Go to review Dan Tordjman Progressia (France) March 10, 2009 Dan give's Dreamer 7 out of 10 stars. Go to review (in French) Eddie Lascu Gnosis Prog Site Dec 17, 2008 ".....The result is a very well crafted album, with lots of maturity, given the experience of all the musicians who made contributions to it. The interesting fact though about "Dreamer" is that throughout the entire album there is this undeniable feeling that this is a personal affair. The level of emotion that is poured into each song, the evocation of past events, the lyricism of texts and the suave atmosphere that is created within will all convince you that Roolaart is a fabulous story-teller, much in the vein of Guy Manning or Steve Cochrane......"

I lost the CD once as it made a seemingly harmless trip from my studio to my car. It was only absent for a day, but it was a day of panic. I cant be without this album, I'd buy it again and again if I ever did lose it. Very, VERY few CDs hold the same honor."

If you are a fan of progressive music in any shape or form, then I highly recommend you check out this very impressive debut."
