5.0 out of 5 stars Super Slick, February 25, 2003

This review is from: Dreams (Audio CD)

Why aren't any of Grace Slick's solo albums available on CD in this country? "Manhole" and "Dreams" are available as imports, but "Software" and "Welcome to the Wrecking Ball" aren't available at all. Pity.

Grace herself detests every one of her solo albums but this one. She feels that, due to her lack of interest in them, they all failed. But she calls this one the best of her solo efforts. And, as one who has heard and appreciates each of them for what they are, "Dreams" is her best. I'll probably be tarred and feathered for this, but I think this is the best recording her voice was ever on. Don't get me wrong, I love Jefferson Airplane, I love early Jefferson Starship, but there's just something about this album...

I like the fact that this album is kind of an amalgam of all different styles. We have Spanish music on "El Diablo," metal on "Angel of Night," arena-rock-power-ballads like "Full Moon Man" and "Face to the Wind," the world music-influenced "Seasons," and the bluesy "Do It the Hard Way." On almost every cut Grace and her band are backed by a full orchestra. She also wrote & composed over half of this album by herself. Trust me, if you are a fan of Grace's at all, or if you're new to the wonderful world of the Airplane/Starship oeuvre, you cannot go wrong with this album. Stand-out cuts: "Dreams," "El Diablo," "Angel of Night," "Full Moon Man," "Let It Go."

5.0 out of 5 stars Grace escapes in shuttle, Starship crashes!!!, March 8, 2005

This is most certainly Grace Slicks finest solo. After putting up with the corporate crap of Jefferson Starship thru the 70's, Slick dried out and came up with this beauty. No commerical trends here, just beautiful orchestrated ballads and hard rockers showing off that one of a kind voice. Sadly, she would return to the group that made her famous, leaving behind a one of a kind tour de force that she would never equal. It must be said that Jefferson Starship were extremely lame without her presence.

After owning this album in the 1980's I thought it would never be released on CD.
When I found it for sale I instantly purchased it, but with intrepidation, because it had been over 10 years since I heard it.
Well it doesn't dissapoint, all the tracks sound great & you wouldn't know it is a 20 year old album.
What a great voice Grace has, she could put a few modern day "singers" to shame.
Go on Treat yourselves to a timeless CD.
