What a wonderful album! There are not a lot of albums this solid from start to finish.

The Todd Rundgren influence is obvious, particularly instrumentally, but it is influence only, not a copy. How can you copy a chameleon? Fernando Perdomo takes the influence without the esoteric excesses of which Todd has been accused.

Sea Dreams is a beautiful instrumental reminiscent of Todd's Sounds of The Studio from Something Anything.

Steal This Song is a rocker with a catchy tune and clever lyrics. The guitar reminds of the sound Todd got out of his guitar on his 34 minute opus, The Icon.

Other highlights are the ballads Lazy, Decisions Decisions & Let Me Love You.

This album is currently my most frequently played and will remain in the rotation for many years.

awesome album! totally rocks! five stars! favorite songs "let me love you", "steal this song", "amicable"

LOVE THIS ALBUM, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, HEARTFELT MOVING SONGS, MELODIC ROCKING GUITAR LINES! MUST HAVE!

Dreaming in Stereo's self-titled album, Dreaming in Stereo, features breezy songs infused by laid-back melodies and harmonies, manipulating the sounds of the guitar among several other instruments. On a lazy Sunday, it's the one album you'd choose to listen to from among the rest in your music collection. The entire compilation even seems movie-soundtrack appropriate. Perhaps the movie producers should give this record a listen.

"Lazy" is a soft pop song about the yearning to stay in bed and lie around all day. "Please come back to bed. Rest with me instead...Let's both be lazy today." Now, who can't relate to lyrics like that?

"Smile" warms the heart with encouraging lyrics like, "Sadness don't look good on you. Smile, Smile, Smile. Even if it hurts."

The Miami Beach native's lyrics to "I'm Not Gonna Move To L.A." define who he really is as a Progressive Pop musician: "I don't make the music that Miami wants to hear. But I'm not going to change my location even if it kills me. I'm not gonna to move to L.A. I'm staying right here." A pun at Miami's taste in music perhaps?

"Let Me Love You" is a romantic ballad that any love-sick guy or girl should dedicate to that special someone. "I can't let you go. Let me love you. You're the one I want...You are music to my ears."

The lead guitarist and mastermind of the band, Fernando Perdomo, wrote and produced all of the songs on the album. The band has made music together for nearly ten years, and along with Perdomo is Roger Houdaille on bass, Derek Cintron on drums, and Cynthia Kivlan on flute.

This guy is one hell of a musician. Brilliant songwriting and instrumental prowess. I highly recommend adding it to your collection. :)

There's a lot of music being released out there, but this album stands far above the crowd. Excellent songwriting, masterful guitar playing, and gorgeous melodies really showcase Dreaming in Stereo's talent in their blockbuster debut album. 'Misery Loves Companies', 'Steal this Song' and 'I'm not going to move to LA' bring out the energetic, humorous songwriting while 'Sea Dreams' and 'Smile' will stun you with ethereal beauty. This is by far one of most solid albums to come out recently and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys excellent music.

It is so rare that you get this kind of combination of wistful and introspective music today. This band has accomplished that and their album defines what modern music really should be. I've seen this band perform live and I can tell you that their performances are as energetic and exciting as their studio work is profound. Well done all the way around. Highly recommended.
