Out of this dream I call to thee,
Out of this dark surrounding me.
And your voice saves me from my phantasy,
Crying, "Darkness is not dark to me."
One of these days I will walk straight into your light,
A blind man who has suddenly received his sight.
Out of this dream, out of this dream, I will awaken
Into your arms, one of these days.

These two make some of the most eclectic sounding music, a touch of jazz, a lot of the technology of techno/Europop, the light airy feel of New Age, the gutsy emotion of rock, deeply experimental and forward thinking it is a music without easy comparison, but unforgettable once you’ve heard it.
