The irony of "Dream Circle" is that its loops and layers create a music that never resolves, always circling but never closing. It invites us to inhabit a perpetual state of becoming, where the journey matters more than the destination. Whether you approach it as a historical artefact or a living, breathing organism, this reissue is a testament to Rapoon’s enduring relevance. Storey reminds us that dreams - like music, like life itself - are cyclical, mysterious, and infinite.
