Albums The Longest Dream

Press Reviews MONTREAL MIRROR (April 2000) - Revival's well-thought melodies, mysterious minor keys and unusual tones make for a good listen...not only for originality but also for that elusive quality called "feeling"' (Rupert Bottenberg) ••• ACCÈS LAURENTIDES (April 2000) - Sorin Pavelesco, the composer behind Revival, has always taken the road less traveled-far from current musical trends and always sure of himself. From this exile was born a peaceful and hypnotic music that transports us into his mysterious, imaginary world. "The Longest Dream", Revival's debut effort, explores the mystical world of dreams in one sonic voyage. More than two years in the making, it is a fascinating album, not only for its originality, but also for the emotions it carries within. Sorin Pavelesco's talent cannot leave you indifferent. Whatever your tastes, origins or influences may be, the music will make you dream... (Frédérique David)MONTREAL GAZETTE (April 2000) - Quebec's Sorin Pavelesco takes the concept album to another level, devoting this first work to the study and expression of dreams. It's a romantic and lovely voyage, with an endearing new-age edge. Billed as a melding of classical and electronic music, it twinkles to the tune of lulling piano and synthesizers, evoking rainy days, fairy tales and slow-motion sequences. This is an original oeuvre that, despite an overwrought sentimentality, demonstrates enough substance and self-confidence to make it worth the trip. (T'Cha Dunlevy)
