Total Time: 61:45 Dream & Desire belongs more with the Virgin Years era. It's not easy to relate it to New Age of Earth or Blackouts, since is has its own unique atmosphere. The compositions on D&D is Manuel in his most sublime and contemplative style, words that could describe it: flowing, moody, gentle, peaceful, comforting. It lacks the agressiveness of Blackouts or Belle Alliance, it's way too gentle, but that's what makes this CD so special: take the best pieceful moments in New Age, and then multiply it by a 100, that's how Dream And Desire feels.
Manuel's 1977 studio recording Dream & Desire, first released on CD in 1991, is available again in a carefully re-edited version.
