The Beginning (free) 04:53<br \/>\n2. Smooth 04:57<br \/>\n3. The happy faces 03:59<br \/>\n4. Electric city 05:02<br \/>\n5. After the Rain 05:37<br \/>\n6. A Waking Dream 04:27<br \/>\n7. I&#8217;m Still Sleeping 04:41<br \/>\n8. Signal from Space 05:11<br \/>\n9. You are the Stars 04:25<br \/>\n10. Melancholia 04:43<br \/>\n11. The Midnight Hour 04:58<br \/>\n12. At the End 03:19<\/p>\n<p>The opening track \u201cThe Beginning\u201d starts in a field recording manner with a gentle running stream and gentle keys, but is soon joined by deep bass chords and a twitchy IDM beat. However, it doesn&#8217;t stop there halfway through it shifts gear and sets a tone for the album in the sense there&#8217;s a lot happening in the track, yet, at no point seems out of place i.e. an almost but not quite industrial techno loop is injected overlapped by a peaceful flute.<\/p>\n<p>This trend of bouncy ambience continues with some nice vocal samples in \u201cSmooth\u201d while \u201cHappy Faces\u201d contrasts deep atmospheric synths. The next track \u201cElectric City\u201d is giving a more spacey feel to the album and the sense that you&#8217;re travelling to your subconciousness.<\/p>\n<p>The next few tracks drop the tempo as if you&#8217;re drifting back into the dream. The title track, for example, is a lovely guitar affaire. While \u201cI&#8217;m Still Sleeping\u201d starts with a vocal sample, developing with a synthetic marching band feel interjecting the ambient sounds. Again there&#8217;s a turn of pace with a techy driving backdrop counterbalanced with flutes and again nothing sounds out of place.<\/p>\n<p>The theme of the album then takes the dream firstly into space, followed by sadness in much the same manner of bouncy ambience with a turn of pace before reaching the nightmare of \u201cThe Midnight Hour\u201d which starts in an ambient techno manner with lots of little overlapping loops and a wonderful guitar. Then unexpectedly comes a vocal intro sample from probably the most famous \u201cSpooky\u201d pop track of all time. <\/p>\n<p>We agree that this album will probably take a few listens to really appreciate fully, as there&#8217;s plenty going on within the tracks and the production is of a high quality.*<\/p>\n<p>You can listen, buy and download this chillout music in wave, apple lossless (alac), flac or mp3 from:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kickbong.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-waking-dream\" title=\"http:\/\/kickbong.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-waking-dream\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/kickbong.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-waking-dream<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*Full review by Woodzee: <a href=\"http:\/\/sunisshiningdubnchill.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/03\/kick-bong-waking-dream-review.html\" title=\"http:\/\/sunisshiningdubnchill.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/03\/kick-bong-waking-dream-review.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/sunisshiningdubnchill.blogspot.co.uk\/2014\/03\/kick-bong-waking-dream-review.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","categories":[5,3],"artist":[90],"class_list":["post-1683","release","type-release","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-releases","category-music","label-cosmicleaf","style-tags-psybient","style-tags-psychill","artist-kick-bong","release-date-2014-03","country-france"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kick Bong - A Waking Dream (Cosmicleaf) - psybient.org - psychill music, psytrance festivals and psychedelic festivals - chillout music - ambient music<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psybient.org\/love\/release\/kick-bong-waking-dream-cosmicleaf-psychill\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Kick Bong - A Waking Dream (Cosmicleaf) - psybient.org - psychill music, psytrance festivals and psychedelic festivals - chillout music - ambient music\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"What is special about Franck&#8217;s releases is that they are always a little different and this release moves even further afield from psychill of earlier releases.
