Music conveying the variety of experiences in the dream state, inspired by the dramatic landscape of Sedona, Arizona.
Editorial review
The title fits the album perfectly. Dream, dreamier, dreamiest. Alexander ventures into twilight sleep with the first cut. Alexander's easy vocal dances "to the light" buoyed by rhythms of resonant thumping similar to Ray Lynch's Deep Breakfast. Fifteen intriguing dreamscapes follow -- some abstract, others melodic -- beginning with the endearing "Dreaming of a Crickets Song"; here, cricket chirps seem to be stardust among soothing space winds and a lullaby theme, later, the canyons become water filled, and the dolphins sing merrily in the surf. "A Baby's Dream" offers charming gurgles and coos of awe, but Alexander also takes the listener to those grave and ghostly places so necessary to create dramatic tension. (No pain, no gain.) Resounding basses, sparkling highs, and embracing mid-tones give "Dreams of Sedona" a juicy mystical presence and intriguing spatial atmosphere. Melodies on guitar and sax are balanced with synthesized space winds, galactic drones, nature sounds, crystal buzz saws, chimes, angel choirs, and tasty rhythmic interplays. The only small clinker is the last piece, "Child on the Road," a pop anthem attempt that doesn't quite cross the finish line. ~ Carol Wright, All Music Guide

Album Description
Dreams of Sedona begins with a gentle but driving rhythm in which Alexander sings of dancing on Sedona's red rocks in a dream state. This sets the stage for a cinematic instrumental album that's an adventure to experience. Choosing dreams that contained elements of the landscape of Sedona, Arizona the music conveys the feelings of both the dream and the wonderful reality of this beautiful place.
From the Artist
To give you an idea of how I approached this music, here are some quotes from the liner notes .
↓ more ↓About the song "Sublime Centering": An incredible image of being in a perfectly still center while the landscape of Sedona slowly turned around me. A resounding "Yes" came from all around me and in me.
And "Dream Of Surfing Oak Creek": What a great dream! At first I thought I was gliding over Oak Creek, starting from high in the canyon north of Sedona. Then I looked down at my feet and realized I was on a surf board. With miraculous balance I navigated the rushing waters. Who needs the Pacific? I hope you'll feel the urge to enter these wonderful dreamscapes. All the power, mystery and fun of nature...that includes we strange beings.
I had an interview with Wayne Wong on his Global Reflections
radio show. Wayne had a granddaughter who heard my "A Baby's
Dream" on Dreams Of Sedona and now every time she visits him
the first thing she says is "Put on the baby!"
I wonder if she likes the music or just likes hearing one of
her peers on the opening of it?
[5 out of 5 stars] Music with serenity and joy and deep emotion, March 22, 2000
Reviewer: Robert from Marshfield, VT
Dreams of Sedona has rich musical texture with various themes through the many cuts on this lovely CD. Alexanders music is unique. It connects directly to the heart and touches us there, awakening our deepest and highest emotions. I cannot overstate how highly I regard this music--I listen to it all the time.
Relaxing and Spiritual, December 26, 1999
Reviewer: A music fan from Columbus, OH
I was not the only one who loved this CD. I accidentally left it in my mother's car and she immediately asked how to get her own copy. Very calming, spiritual music to listen to anytime.
