Originally released across two albums, these pieces sprawl across time and consciousness—moving between Mars colonies, historical moments reframed as science fiction, and cyclical dreamscapes anchored by the recurring \"Dream Sequencer\" motif. Van Leer assembles the full instrumental and vocal forces that define his sound: soaring melodies, layered keyboards, and progressive structures that take their time unfolding. There's an almost conceptual-rock grandeur here, reminiscent of 1970s ambition but filtered through modern metal and electronic textures. This vinyl edition presents the complete journey as intended, rewarding patient listeners with one of progressive rock's more sincere attempts at genuine world-building through sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin:0 0 8px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;padding:13px 18px;background:#ffffff;color:#121212;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;border:1px solid #121212;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:2px;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:600;font-family:inherit;user-select:none;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:300;line-height:1;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border:1px solid #121212;border-top:none;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eGenre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eRock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eProg Rock, Progressive Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eMedia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eMint (M)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eSleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eNear Mint (NM or M-)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:1.2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:rgba(18,18,18,0.45);width:38%;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 18px;font-size:13px;color:#121212;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(18,18,18,0.12);font-family:inherit;\"\u003eSIGNED by Arjen.
