Niels Van Hoorn (a.k.a. Niels Van Hoornblower) is the horn player for The Legendary Pink Dots. Way before my plunge into the vast LPD discography, I kept hearing the track "Strange Dream" from Mr. Hoorn's solo album on a compilation I recieved in the mail from Soleilmoon Recordings. For a long time I mistakened it for a different track on the disc from the collaboration People Like Us & Kenny G, since there was a sax involved and all. Once I caught on to my mistake, I picked up the full album and it proved to be quite interesting. Solo horn improvisation; recorded, processed and looped in a variety of new combinations and arrangements, mixed with percussion, and sometimes analog synth. It's an experimental ambient record built from a jazz perspective, which makes for a very refreshing listen.Tracklist:
