RE: Dreamland

["Stephen Humphries" <manicnirvana01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

> From what I've heard of Mighty Rearranger, you may find it very accessible 
and a nice change of pace for Robert. Certainly the most accessible thing 
he's done since Fate of Nations. There's a lot of stuff that will appeal to 
Zep fans and it has a very modern sound influenced by the trip-hop sounds of 
Portishead and Massive Attack. A huge Middle East influence, too.

Dreamland is a grower -- just like Walking Into Clarksdale was -- but I 
think that if you give it a few listens then you'll find a lot of buried 
treasure. Turn off the lights and listen to "If I Ever Get Lucky (Win My 
Train Fare Home)" and you might agree that this song yields new depths with 
each listen. I think it's one of Plant's finest moments. Also, check out 
Dirt in a Hole (on the UK version of Dreamland and also on 66 To TImbuktu) 
and Skip's Song...

cheers,
Stephen H
