Forest for the Trees was a Los Angeles outfit started by Stephenson, who pulled in Mark Petersen, John "coz" Acosta, Papa Bear Martinez and a loose gang of other collaborators to bring his ideas to life. It ran from 1993 to 1999, more a project than a band in the usual sense.
The self-titled album came out on DreamWorks in 1997, and "Dream" was the one alternative radio grabbed: a woozy, off-kilter track that sounds like several different records playing at once, stitched together with a lopsided sense of humor. It was the sort of song that made you check whether the station had drifted, and then turn it up.
