A tale of the lounging Lizard, who loves to lie on the beach from day to day and observe the sunset. Once in awhile, you can hear its plaintive cry of "Aw-right, Dude!!"

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.

If it were any more laid back, it might be UNDER the beach ;) Slow, steady, funky fun. Very cool mood and tones, Carlo. Is that Tuvan throat-singing? An extra layer of awesome right there.

Yeah, give that geico some competition ;) A very cool synth and deep tom beat - and a neat change at 2:20, exotic stuff!

Great synth work on this one Carlo Nice change of pace at the 2:16 mark. Cool organ playing too and the guttural voicing. Enjoyable musical journey for sure. Hey, where did that laugh come from?

Sounds just like what a Lounging Lizard should sound like to me! Ha! You have very original and diverse musical skills that makes it fun to visit your music page and see what is next.

Well-produced track. Great layering of instruments and effects, like the smooth beginning building up to a crescendo and then bringing it back down. Can visualize the iguana wearing sunglasses. Well-done.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun. This could almost be an early Pink Floyd out take. This is so unexpected Carlo. You're a psychedelic wizard in disguise. Cool track, love the way it all links up again at the end. Fab.

a very nice piece of music with beautiful changes and a feeling where give a good atmosphere around - a great song and also a great production, beautiful.... hugs, kaufi :-)
Now this is RELAXING! Very cool thing Carlo, love the synth work. Kind of a summer song... in the first half, and then? A complete break, something else, whicht I really appreciate. Music without surprise...food without spice. Cool how you get back to your basic theme! We´re definitely having fun and add some xtra with you tune! Really good! Andreas

ohhhh cool! first the beach, then midway though it is as if the lizard has arrived at a "special" kind of destination, and then in the end, returned again...LOL!!! :D
