Dream Signals in Full Circles is an LP by Tristeza, released on Tigerstyle Records in 2000. [3] [4]

Contents

Production

The album was recorded at Kingsize studio, in Chicago, and was produced by Dave Trumfio. [5]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the one most overt Krautrocking number of the bunch, 'Auroura Borealis', is pretty much a shorter version of Neu!'s 'Fur Immer', but it makes up for the near plagiarism with yet another soaring yet deceptively simple guitar solo that evokes a beautiful blue sky to go with the open road." [1] Exclaim! wrote that the album "contains epic pop gems that give atmosphere to whatever room it's played in." [6] Phoenix New Times called it "sweet, viscous instrumental rock," writing that "it may be some of the most beautifully expansive music you hear this year." [7]

The Washington Post praised the "elastic, jazzy rhythm section that works in great counterpoint to guitarist Jimmy Lavalle's ringing lead lines." [8] The Tallahassee Democrat thought that "the album title is a perfect description of the band's instrumental approach, which blends rock with smooth beats and jazzed-up tempos." [9] The Arizona Republic wrote that Dream Signals in Full Circles "combines shimmering guitars with gently minimalist rhythms and Stereolab-style tape loops." [10]
