Refreshing and imaginative, this CD is a winner!
author: Bill Binkelman
Brannan Lane's debut, CARIBBEAN DREAM, is a refreshing dose of fun and good cheer in a usually somber and dour musical genre. Using a vast array of electronic keyboards,
Brannan has fashioned a sonic voyage to a tropical island, complete with steel drums and pan pipes. The music is relaxing even while it makes you want to get up and dance (which it does on some songs). The mood is bright, sunny, and full of life. In addition, the recording is very well-produced and performed. CARIBBEAN DREAM can stand
toe-to-toe with many releases from major labels, and usually come out ahead. For sheer musical bravado and creativity, Brannan Lane has few equals this year. If you are looking for a good time, grab your checkbook or credit card and order this CD. You won't be disappointed!

Escape to the Caribbean without ever leaving home!
author: Jeff Bjorck
Brannan Lane has packed the entire Caribbean onto one small disc. From the
bright, bouncy opening track, "Welcome," to the sign off "Until Then," this CD will
transport you to an island getaway. What stands out about this project is the
multitude of unique sounds and instruments, from steel drums and pan flute to
tropical birds, rain,
and waterfalls. Brannan creatively combines these sounds and instruments,
enhancing a varied selection of simple, pleasing melodies. Are you stressed out? Let
the lilting rhythm of the "Caribbean Sea" wash away those tension lines. Do you
need a pick-me-up? The percussive bonanza featured in "Fire Dance" will get you
going on a positive note! Do you need music to dream by? "Stars to the Sea" will
take you to the ocean at night, as the constellations pour themselves into the
horizon. Have you visited the Caribbean before? "Market Sq” will let you return,
right back to the middle of a busy intersection with an open market! I recommend
putting this CD on "repeat play." Then try to avoid calling your travel agent! --Jeff
