The Key of Dreams is the second studio album by English post-punk band Section 25, released in 1982 by record label Factory Benelux. It was reissued in 1991 with extra tracks by LTM Recordings.
Andy Kellman for AllMusic described it as "influenced by dub, Krautrock, and '60s psychedelia (and, yes, probably Joy Division as well)" and "sunken in a glum, mid-tempo pit of dejection." [1] Steve Grant and Ira Robbins in Trouser Press describe it as "nine examinations of paranoia and anxiety, using lurking glissandi, curious touches of Doorsish piano and Oriental philosophy." [2]
