Editorial Reviews

"Have You Ever Touched a Dream?" is Daybehavior's second album, following up the popular Scandinavian debut album "Adored". This Swedish band has a style all their own, combining top notch electronic production with an absolutely dreamy female vocalist. Some of the songs are uptempo, danceable club tracks, while others are melancholy trip-hop flavored songs. All together, it adds up to a great listening experience.

The first 1,000 copies include a limited edition bonus disc which includes the winning remixes from a contest that was open to electronic musicians from all over the world. There are winning mixes from countries like Russia, Greece, Spain, Germany, Sweden, etc. plus a couple of contributions by Daybehavior themselves. Pick up the album quickly for the great extras!

I bought this CD on a whim, since Amazon recommended it to me.

I didn't know what to expect from it. I listened to a few tracks online, but I don't like listening to things from the middle, but what I heard, I enjoyed.

So, I bought the CD. I saw that it had 2 CDs, and the second one was mostly remixes, which I didn't mind. I love remixes.

The CD opens up, with a rather, open/airy song: "Give Me". I fall in love with the singers voice, it's very beautiful and smooth. I love smooth voices. The song it's self is slow, and kinda dancy. More of one of those slow tracks to let everyone rest.

Most of the songs after that are slow and airy, and then we have, "Close Your Eyes" which speeds things up a bit. It has a good beat, and those same beautiful vocals.

Then we come to "Bleed". It's kind of dark. Rock feel to it, which I was surprised at. It's very pretty, and really shows it's dark undercurrents.

The rest of the songs, are rather dark, and it surprised me. Due to the first songs, and then coming to this dark stuff. It becomes brighter with Superstar, but then falls back into the dark sound that I am used to.

All in all, I love this CD. It's new. It's different, just what I have been looking for. I love new things, and this new genre is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise, January 21, 2004

I anxiously awaited the release of this CD after I purchased the "Devil In Me" single. Whereas the single (and its remixes) seem a bit more dancefloor friendly, this full-length has songs for every mood. Personally, I feel the first two tracks ("Give Me" and "The Sweetness of my Pain") are the strongest. I could not get them out of my head for days!
My only gripe? The bonus disc should have included the "Devil In Me" Melodramatic Goodbye Mix. This gorgeous remix is one of the most beautiful songs released in the last few years. Be sure to pick it up on the "Devil In Me" single. It's worth it!

I've come to rely a great deal on A Different Drum to provide me with good, quality synthpop-styled music that rarely disappoints. They're a small independent record label that supports and markets groups such as Daybehavior, enabling these talented unknowns to express themselves freely and to actually get their musings out there... I first heard of Daybehavior through an Internet acquaintance who recommended them to me. They said it was "my type of music" and was pretty adamant about it, so with time I listened to samples, liked what I heard, and decided to buy it... Needless to say I was glad I did! Daybehavior's 'Have You Ever Touched a Dream?' swirls with heavenly female voices set to energetic as well as soothing electronics, sounding like an amalgam of Solar Twins and Mandalay with their darker down-tempo/trip-hop melodies, and like ATB/Lasgo with the more uplifting, club friendly dance-pop tracks. The only song that's cast apart from the others is "Devil In Me" which is deeply infused with driving industrial beats.
