The only caveat to this wonderful release is the transfer of the original tape to digital without much restoration. The analog reel tapes of 1976-1977 on which the multitracks were recorded on have issues regarding decay and were somewhat corrected by 1978. Most artists with archival material from those years are aware of this and have tried with different degrees of success to recover and digitize them. That said, it would be a shame for Manual and Ilona not to try to either restore the original recording or rerecord the piece as Dream & Desire 21st Century!

Dream & Desire” is in my opinion the very best of Manuel Gottsching in all his career
Steve Arnell / England –
This is Manuel Gottsching‘s true masterpiece….. demonstrating his genuine genius as an innovative guitarist and composer of stunningly beautiful music. See the excellent review by Han Koelemeijer….and then buy this.
