Alquimia, the Mexican-born female singer and composer nowadays based in London, has with her own albums  as well as with her collaborations with Prudence-labelmates Zinkl, Roedelius and Peter Mergener set remarkable, sometimes quite experimental accents in our catalogue. For „Garden Of Dreams“ the highly productive artist has teamed up with one of the finest spirits among the Prudence artists: Together with Rüdiger Gleisberg, whose electronic music is strongly influenced by the European symphonic tradition, Alquimia has created eleven lovely songs. Her poetic lyrics and sometimes tenderly-melancholic, sometimes dreamily-cheerful melodies are surrounded by the sonic beauty of Gleisbergs artfully orchestrated immpressionistic and romantic sounds. For both musicians this album means quite an artistic departure, as both of them have never sticked so strictly to the song format before.

On „Garden of Dreams“ Alquimia creates angelic choirs, that seem to dance on Gleisbergs gently shimmering string-arrangements – thus unveiling a special world full of enchanting melodies and harmonies.
