Сделано с помощью ии Released in 1985, Dream Collector (夢の収集家) stands as Phantasia’s longest and most ambitious project, with a runtime of one hour. By this time, the band had firmly established themselves in the jazz fusion scene, and this album marked a peak in their popularity. Dream Collector also revisits their roots, featuring modal and experimental jazz compositions that echo the spirit of their earlier trio formation. Driven by hypnotic basslines and steady drum grooves, these pieces create a trance-like foundation, while progressive layers of improvisation from horns, keys, and guitars weave emotional and dynamic textures. A masterpiece of innovation and reflection, the album solidified Phantasia’s legacy in the evolving world of fusion jazz. The intricate compositions hinted at the band’s growing interest in integrating modern elements, such as synthesizers and digital instruments, which would later become central to their sound. Dream Collector marked a turning point, blending tradition with a forward-thinking approach that pushed the boundaries of jazz fusion and laid the foundation for their continued evolution. Fun Fact: Infinity Voyage, Galactic Ascension, Angel’s Secret and Source of Fire were composed exclusively by the band’s founding members. Source of Fire, in turn, serves as a tribute to Ryo Kobayashi’s (小林 涼) contributions during the band’s early years, reflected in its more Afro-inspired rhythm.
