About Me

What is Dreams Prevail? It's different things to different people, depending on when you knew me. 4 years ago it could of meant the little CD-R's Alex Bashar and I passed around PMHS. A little afterwards it could of also meant the band Miguel which was Dreams Prevail with more then 2 members which featured Billy Pridgen and Mike Barley. It could refer to the depressing stuff I wrote for my own personal enjoyment after various phases in my life. Or it could mean the first LP I plan on pressing this year.
People have a hard time trying to figure out exactly what I'm trying to do regarding music. Dreams Prevail is meant as an escape for the life experiences I've had. I personally don't believe in the generally accepted progression of songwriting. My songs are meant to confuse you and manipulate your emotions. So, the emotions you have when you listen to my songs are correct, but the meanings behind the songs will help you understand DP more. Every noise, change in the song, etcetera does have a point. If you're confused on anything you've heard, let me know. I will be glad to clarify.
You can now listen to Logarithmics in it's entirety for free on Last.FM here
A release is slated for Late-2007/Early-2008 on Gatefold 2x12" Vinyl. CDs are currently being made and an AC3/DVD-Audio 5.1 Dolby Surround edition is being mastered. The CD will come with the DVD version for free. The CD is an enhanced disc which will contain artwork, high quality MP3s, a few videos of shows, past discography and just about anything else you could want. Expect some seriousbadassness to the KMO Catalog from Dreams Prevail!
On another side note, Logarithmics was mastered with 96khz 24-bit audio recording, the MP3s available on Last.FM don't do the album justice at all. I highly recommend getting the CD off me or a lossless encoding of this album (just message me I'll up it somewhere). Use of high-end audio equipment or high-quality headphones is crucial to enjoying this album. There is a lot of overdubbing and stereo panning, purposeful wow and flutter is also in these songs. The album is meant to stimulate your imagination behind closed eyes. This album should make you feel immersed in another world.
