valsmountain This is a very special CD. There are wonderful jazzy-like tracks and others have rhythm and blues/rock flares to them. I remember when this CD came out—right after A Day Within Days which was a sensational CD. I thought it would be a tough act to follow. Not the case. Why was I not surprised? M.A. aka D.A. has continued to evolve since his first CD release and the level to which his musicianship has been perfected is evident. I love every track. Track #s 4, 5, 6, 10, & 11 are my favorites🌺. Favorite track: As You Were.

Berkdrums December 2020.. We keep celebrating Michael’s stunningly beautiful, nostalgic, amazing high quality music... This is just one of many masterpieces with his trademark feel and sounds, which are created from the heart and with so much love. Here we even hear jazz-influences, and real complex & amazing rhythms.. And so this year, which we’ll never forget en changed our lives immensely, comes to a close.. I’m going to dive yet again in Michael’s amazing and comforting music.. R.i.p. Michael.

about

Dream In Blue is the Fall 2011 release by the celebrated artist Darshan Ambient (aka Michael Allison). As with previous Darshan Ambient releases, Allison’s melodies and harmonization are sublime, and his rhythms, while complex, evoke a sense of effortlessness that leave the listener engaged and fulfilled. At times, the album brilliantly weaves Jazz motives through ambient forms, while never abandoning the compelling, signature style of electronic music for which Darshan Ambient is known.

The album began as an homage to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and on a few of the tracks Allison expertly explores new territory, straddling the line between ambient and jazz, while building on the powerfully appealing electronic sound heard on earlier releases, From Pale Hands To Weary Skies and A Day Within Days. As Michael says, “There is certainly a sonic bridge between ‘ambient’ and ‘jazz’ music, a logical extension between the two genres.”

The diverse selections range from the upbeat ‘Sun Fade‘ through the melancholy trumpet solo of ‘Silent Smile (Angelo’s Song)‘ to the pure ambience of ‘Waiting On A Dead Man’s Horse,‘ which could almost be at home on an ambient opus written by electronic legend Brian Eno. Through all, Michael Allison’s musical sensibilities make Dream in Blue a profoundly enjoyable experience from beginning to end.
