In 1896, the Pacific Northwest was flooded with reports of an extraordinary flying machine. Whether mass hysteria or something more mysterious, that slowly drifting dirigible is an icon of Oregon's partly cloudy past and present, and Portland based ensemble Imaginary Airship has gotten more than a little inspiration from the surreal sightings of the Northwest's long-ago floating mystery. Combining old world aesthetics with the inventive song structures of 1960's pop and early 70's progressive rock, the band's swirling, soaring arrangements will captivate your imagination, taking you on a fantastic audio voyage you won't soon forget.
There is nothing wrong with your phonograph. Do not attempt to adjust the stereo equipment.

Reviews for the album "Where Dreams Take Flight":
"When an album opens with an acoustic guitar that’s as delicately
toned and recorded as the one that starts this album, it’s
impossible not to immediately fall in love with it. When the next
things you hear are a slow rise of keyboard in the distant background,
a tiny arpeggiated synth line, and vocals swelling and welling up in
their sad statements, it’s impossible not to think there’s
something special waiting for you. While a lot of this album takes
influence from more mellow and swirly moments of both Pink Floyd and
the Flaming Lips, there’s an overall lamenting sleepiness to this
record that allows you to be drawn from acoustic guitar + keyboard
songs to the more rare, full-on jaunty rock. The whole package
benefits from the psychedelic production and song structures employed
from bow to stern of this Imaginary Airship, and come to think of it,
there couldn’t be a more perfect name for this band."

"PDXPole.com gives Imaginary Airship all the stars we have and staples them permanently to our soul. They give hope of a "Bright New Day". Listening to the album gives strength to keep going and pursue your dreams, even when there is unbelievable pain and disappointment in your life. And it's not just a temporary feeling of joy, but Imaginary Airship leaves a lasting sense of hope. You'll find a 60's psychedelic influenced indie rock sound that competes with the likes of Flaming Lips and Pink Floyd, but offers something new that will take you up into the clouds."

"Where Dreams Take Flight" is a unique, unpredictable, and often wonderfully mystical collection of songs. The songwriting is strong, and is nearly (but pleasantly) overshadowed by the stellar instrumental production. The musical effects, ambient delays, layered keyboards, strings, and other weird sounds lay a wonderful canvas for the band's tunes."
