“A half-British, half-German affair (the same line-up that would record the eponymous masterpiece Message), From Books and Dreams is a dark, hard-rocking psychedelic album. The production makes for a very spacy, dirty and blurry atmosphere that serves the album well. I recommend listening to this album in the evening (preferably an autumn evening), light up a few candles, unplug the phone, sit back, lie down or whatever, and listen…”
“A curious Nektar-like band, comprised of British and German members. The sound is something of a blend of cosmic hard rock and some holdover psychedelic tendencies. There’s a jazzy touch at times, too, imparted by lead singer Tommy McGuigan’s occasional sax work. If I had to compare this to some other album, Nektar’s A TAB IN THE OCEAN is not dissimilar.”
