Goldenthal's language, to which the laymen must grant certain credit in a beginning, is deep, maybe intellectual in excess, but clearly fascinating. With In Dreams the composer from Brooklyn deepens in that original experimentation always after a radical comment that exposes in a sincere way the fusion of the pro-classical positions of his concert works with his usual avant-garde language. The integration of a string quartet in the instrumental group fancies an election at least right, mainly if we keep in mind that the sound collision that Goldenthal determines to create through the overwhelming sound of the electric guitars in clear contrast with the piano of Claire's Nocturne or with the unhinged sax of Rubber Room Stomp it is fully and modeled gotten. In Dreams is a disturbing and dark soundtrack, of ominous and harrowing tone that doesn't avoid the polithematic creation to make a score that in occasions transcends the cue sheets to become a diffident and delirious study of noise.
