A bit of Mellotronic and Optiganic fantasy that manifests as a lullaby for some Steampunk dreaming. The outbound Steamer Engine pushes along the tracks through the exotic landscapes of stark fields, lush forests and past dark cities. (see below)

Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Story behind the song
The outbound Steamer Engine pushes along the tracks through the exotic landscapes of stark fields, lush forests and past dark cities. Men in wide fedoras and women in long coats with wide hats scuttle through the city streets.

I feel like I'm making a very long trip on a steam train, somewhere in between 1850 and 1920. Landscapes are passing by and the train just continues. 2:44: A change is coming. Changing direction? And then suddenly we are in another country with a different sound. The train keeps on moving forward. I wish it will never end. Very interesting. Very inspired. Very Carlo. Nice.

Very nice sounds and great chord progressions, that have an underlying taste of fear and horror, but still sound very nice and almost hypnotic. The production is awesome, the distorted sounds bring out a sense of illness, something's not right, something bad is about to happen.

Another song featuring one of my favorite instruments! Love the retro beginning and then the mix of new age-y mysterious vibe...a journey I will be taking more than once!

A steampunk lullaby!?! Actually this really works - quirky and so creative, this is a major tune and creates such a dreamlike visual. And those sounds are just awesome! Hats off Carlo this is brilliant, I'll be snaffling this one.
This is truly a masterful song, Carlo! You take the listeners into many realms of excitement and mystery...and the imagination can go almost anywhere WONDERFUL with this most creative work of music art.
