D:ream - In memory of

With the original line-up not seen since 1995, D:Ream are set to return with the release of their brand new album, In Memory Of…’ in March 2011. The act, comprised of DJ Alan Mackenzie and singer Peter Cunnah, will be embarking on a full UK tour, beginning March 10th. With two top five albums and a string of top 10 singles, including the iconic Things Can Only Get Better’, the act went their separate ways in 1995. After a chance meeting in 2008, Alan and Peter began working on some new tracks together which take their trademark sound to new levels. Peter says: We’ve been away from the charts for some time now and a lot has happened, so we needed to make music that was both relevant, but yet still D:Ream. With In Memory Of…’ I truly believe we’ve done that.

Incorporating their original electronic influences with live instruments, D:Ream’s new sound is a more organic experience, but still retains the anthemic and uplifting moods which earned the act so much praise in the 1990s.

Also present on the new album is original member, the physician Brian Cox, playing keyboard on two of the tracks. Known more for his involvement in BBC science programmes and his BBC Radio 4 show The Infinite Monkey Cage, he rejoins his old bandmates featuring on the forthcoming single Gods in the Making’, released February 2011.
