This was the live debut of the Dream Machine album 'Trilogia', an event which took place at Bush Hall, Shepherd's Bush, London on Sunday November 27th 2005.

The music is fantastic if you are into Psychedelic, Space and Jam Band music.

The song 'Invisible Maze' is about 25 minutes long as opposed to around 17 minutes long on the album.

It reminded me of the music scene of the 60s, particularly the mid to latter 60s.

'Machina Dread' is a reggae song where the band really jelled and just had a wonderful time. Alex got some great effects from his guitar too, in some ways reminding me more of what was happening with the guitar wizards of the 70s.

The music flowed really well and the tempo changes were not overbearing.

The song was around 22 minutes as compared to the 16 minutes on the album so you do get a lot more of the improv these guys are famous for. Loved the flute in this one.

They just cut loose and let it rip on the 'Trilogy Of Dreams' (The Flying Squirrel, Above and Beyond, Flying Carpet). They looked like they were all dreaming hence the name. Absolutely amazing. The video never does justice to being there and this is one concert we all should have seen. Some of the expressions on the faces told the story and the pan shots were wonderfully done. The crowd were very into it.

All in all, this was a special event that was captured in time by the video, which is about 80 minutes long. The lighting effects were perfect for the music.

I very much recommend this to all who have heard the music of the Dream Machine. If you haven't heard them then by all means go and get a copy.
