Search - Livin Joy :: Dreamer

This Track isn't Just Music- It's Magic, Pure and Simple

"Clearly among the most beautifully composed and intensely emotional dance tracks ever written. Livin' Joy's "Dreamer" tells the story of a woman who's just beginning to realize her inner-beauty and magic, but is hesitant to share it with a world that may reject her. She is, as the song unveils, a dreamer. The hook, coupled with the incredibly soulful and at times heart-breaking vocals, make the track a must-have for anyone who feels happy... but ultimately isolated among the masses. A wonderful, wonderful song that's provided so much joy to my life... and hopefully your's too."

ANOTHER STRONG (YET OBSCURE) 90s DANCE TRACK...

""Dreamer" by Livin' Joy is among the 'Dance Mix USA: Vol 4' songs that I've always considered to be a standout. To get an idea of what this cut sounds like, think of your typical mid-90's euro/dance songs, a la "Another Night" by Real McCoy, except less radio-friendly, and more clubby. More of a euro-feel. I believe this song is meant strictly for dance music fanatics in their late 20s or early 30s, who miss the ultra-cheezy, yet simply undeniable groove of 1990s techno. Enjoy...C.H.R."

A '90s Classic

"A slammin' dance tune from 1994, this was one of a trio of huge club hits for Livin' Joy (the others were "Don't Stop Movin'" and "Where Can I Find Love").



First, a track listing (currently not provided by Amazon):



1. Original Club Mix

2. Slo Moshun Mix

3. Junior's Sound Factory Mix

4. Factory Dub

5. Junior's Instrumental

6. Radio Mix



Track 1 is easily the best of the bunch. But, that's why this disc falls short of five stars. Junior's Sound Factory mix is a HUGE disappointment. The fire of the original is lost with his noodling. I will say the Factory Dub isn't bad, but it's fairly standard.



Of the mixes, the Slo Moshun Mix is the best, but not great. Stick with the Original Club, though if you own the album this may not be a necessary purchase at all."
