Press Reviews "Sometimes hypnotic ("Where It Begins") and sometimes divine ("Under Starlit Skies"), but always ambient, I recommend this gem to anyone interested in music that can take you to that other place where all is dim, soft and beautiful... an ambient masterpiece." - J. Mundok/The Kettle Black "Mara's Torment has succeeded in creating the perfect soundtrack for those late night sessions of introspection to which we all succumb." - Carnell/Carpe Noctem "Dreams Like Mine is a beautiful album in it's entirety, and any lack of effort to acquire this would surely be an inexcusable mistake." - DJ Antithesis/Playlist Review "It's beautiful compositions mesh perfectly with a natural backdrop of the earth cleansing and revitalizing it's teaming variety of life almost like it was meant to be a soundtrack." - Chris Christian/Sonic Boom Online Reviews "There isn't enough room in one review to give the praise that this album deserves. Mara's Torment has improved since their last album (which was incredible), and with this release, has created a more definitive style for the band." - Scott Mallonee/Grinding into Emptiness
