Some Dreams - Limited Edition Special 4xCD Set & Postcard
Returning with their sixth studio album and their first album of new material since 1995, A Flock of Seagulls present their masterpiece 'Some Dreams'. The band led by Mike Score continue to innovate and inspire. 'Some Dreams' features their signature synth sounds blended perfectly with driving guitars and high energy rhythms. With ten brand new songs Mike Score once again blazes a trail with well written, hooky, but serious pop music.
Lead single 'Some Dreams' of the same name was released in the Autumn setting the tone and with strong plaudits from fans and critics alike. Following up is arguably the strongest song on the album (and we reckon one of Mike Scores finest pieces of writing) the love forlorn 'Him'. The album features the big room synth anthems 'Lovers and Strangers' and 'Valley Of The Broken Dreams', as you would expect, plus thoughtful works such as the moody 'You're A Fool', the Japan like 'We Want It Back Again' and even the Beatles inspired 'Castles In The Sky'.
