"Dream" comes from Forest for the Trees' self-titled 1997 album, and the credits alone read like a dare: sitar, tabla, mbira and bagpipe all turn up on the same track. Karl Stephenson is the man at the controls and at the mic, singing lead, playing sitar, arranging, recording, engineering, producing and mixing it himself.
Jaspr Baj brings guitar, mbira and vocals, Chris Harvey plays tabla, Aaron Shaw adds bagpipe, and Kevin Krakower chips in extra voices. The songwriting credit is split four ways, among Baj, Krakower, Stephenson and Herb Rooney. It's a headphone record assembled by one very busy man and a handful of players on unusual instruments.
