Captivating!!!
author: labronner
"Take me with you" is captivating and haunting. The music takes you to another world immediately. My only complaint is this is a very short CD so the escape is shortlived, still, I have no regrets with my purchase as this is one of those rare finds that will always have a special place in my collection.

... the CD just flows.... so gorgeously. Constantly harmonized/layered female vocals, BIG BIG beats..... good god. Musical perfection. Sad thing is, they broke up.... but Poppy (singer) has a new band called Hush Collector, even though it's not really trip-hop, it's great to hear that voice again. If you can find the full-length Dreamfield record (possibly called Take Me With You, like the single), online or anywhere else, definitely grab it when you can. You won't regret it.

author: Bulaka Magazine UK
dreamfield have always been one of our favourite bands on bulaka, and this single is amongst the reasons why.
although recorded some time ago, take me with you is a prime example of the dark, melodic sound the band create. imagine being stuck in a car in the middle of a storm, miles from home. dreamfield are the soundtrack to that situation. screaming feedback overlayed on magical piano. haunting vocals augment the arrangement...
distant skies is yet another brilliant track. tinkling percussion and a haunting, almost anthem like vocal from poppy...
...the short-wave remix is somewhat akin to the laid back drum and bass remixes of whale's hobo humpin slobo babe.
this is still an excellent single and one which you should make plans to get your hands on, whatever the cost.

This is an awesome 3-song single, Dreamfield produce lovely music for late-nite

****1/2 stars.
"The Dream is the hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanitarium of the soul". SO reads the entrance to Dreamfield's official website, and listening to their music, it seems like they know what they're talking about. A female-fronted dreampop/trip-hop outfit from the UK, Dreamfield produces lovely music for late-nite listening. Laid-back grooves and drum loops reminiscent of Portishead accompany smooth vocals that alternately remind me of the Cranes of the Sneaker Pimps. This is an awesome 3-song single (get it for $5 at CDBaby, www.cdbaby.com!) containing the title track "Take Me With You", a remix of the same, and a song called "Distant Skies". "Take Me With You" is a plaintive, yearning ballad that echoes sweetly in the mind. "Distant Skies" is a nostalgic turn, with lyrics as follows: "I smell the scent of a delicate fragrance/it's the brand you used to wear/Winds blow in the street now empty/WInds of time that swept this place so ghostly bare". This proves that Dreamfield has a fine lyrical sensibility, as well as sensual and infectious grooves. I'm eagerly awaiting a full-length album, but in the meantime I, and you, can listen to and download more yummy tracks at http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/62/dreamfield.html.
Pleasant dreams!
