Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pre-dating the mainstream explosion of the concept album, Gordon Jenkins crafted this highly ambitious, narrative-driven musical suite. 'Seven Dreams' integrates sweeping orchestral passages, a full choir, and dramatic spoken narration to simulate a surreal, episodic journey through the subconscious. It remains a fascinatingly bizarre, theatrical experiment in early long-form pop arranging.
