I think Hixxy did about the best rip one could do with this song. I like it, and some parts of it have really grown on me (like the "t-t-t-tell me why" vocals that fade in near the end), but it's not gonna be one of my favorites in the long run. Anyways does it even matter? Dreams is truly one of the best songs to come out this year so you must grab the record anyways

I wasn't too thrilled with it. It sounds almost exactly the same as the original just sped up.
If you're going to do a remix of a trance tune, at least take it somewhere new, don't just use the same layout and overall sound.
All in all, I was well dissapointed, the tune was WAY overhyped.

The reason why a lot of u r saying, shit this tune is ****in wkd, is cause u have not listend to the 'castles in the sky' version on the Breakdown Ibiza CD, its exactly the same, except its sped up and guess wot. THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD. I bet u lot have only heard one version, the poppy charty crappy version. Hear this club version, then come back ere and tell me shit that is a wkd mix i bet it took years to think of and produce.

its ok i ave all three raver babys and the cover ups and the b trax tunes they are all ok but i would never include any in a set if i had one cos i dont particually like this trancey hardcore sound,all i would say to the fellas is yr doing well for keeping hardcore alive but personally i no i prefer the old gear with the real hardcore edge u no antisocial tunes,go mental seem to be keeping it real hardcore,it seems they look at other popular scenes and think well thats popular and giv hardcore that sound for instance when things started going trancey so did hardcore they should go back and think to them selfs ok wat got the ravers attention in the first place and start afresh kniteforce are doing it

I agree with what most of you are saying, that it's a quality or near quality tune but it does sound almost exactly the same as the original by Ian Van Dahl.

I really hate the way the vocal sounds when you hear it at home, but on a big system it sounds really good. Dreams is ok, i think that bit in the middle is a bit too much of the hard house 'easy rush' syndrome. Its just cheap and boring. As for the original, i think if hixxy used the vocal from the original rather than his pooey vocalist of late, it would have been much better.
