From the first note of “Breaking Boundaries” your ears are held captive to the sound of this wonderful album.  Lyrics from “Rock’n’roll, Soho and the Coffee” set the basis for the entire body of work - “Music is my therapy, my guitar takes notes...” the songs which follow are evidence of that, flowing effortlessly through various moods, and recollections of experience in life & love.  Kopandy gives so much to his music that he makes the listener feel as though the emotions conveyed are their own.  A fine example is “Amsterdam” – truly heart-wrenching & saxophone-fuelled.  Amazing.  “Castle’s” haunting melodies are almost goose-bump enducing.  As for the rest of the album?  You will have to find out for yourselves!  Buy it.  It could be one of the best investments you ever make...

From uplifting rock choruses like "Rock'n'roll, Soho and The Coffee" to love inspired 
tracks like "Amsterdam", A True Dream sets out to further express Kopandy's travels, 
experiences and relationships, with much success.
There's much lyrics and feelings to relate to, such as "Baby can't you see I've only
got two knees/ And I can't live confined with all these memories" and the ever catchy 
"Miss Delicate" track will leave you anticipating what's next for this Newcastle artist.
A True Dream, overall, is an album well put together and it's Kopandy's talent to put you
into his shoes for a track at a time that seals my final take. Which is: for only 6.99 this
cd is generously under priced and we learn something about Steve...

"I don't want people to see me as a commercial guy. 
I want people to know me as a creative, loving, world helper.
I want fame for this, not fortune. 
Fame gives you reach and influence.
I hope people can trust my influence."- Steve Kopandy, Lyric Series 7 on Myspace.
