 | | Dream Runner (Parachute Music PARAVP002CD) was a second release from Phenomena, a studio project run by producer Tom Galley with a supporting cast of session aces and a few hardrock heavyweights, has-beens and never-will-bes. |
 | | Yet a progressive feel is ever present in the arrangements, from Caporaletti's infrequent, screeching distortion guitar stabs to Stalteri's omnipresent and richly inventive keyboard arrangements, which suffuse everything with nimble and beautiful piano and sparkling synthesizer. |
 | | This is an album that will quite probably strike the listener as tuneful but shallow on first listen, but further exposure will reveal it to be just as intricate and experimental as the big-name Italian progressive bands in their prime, just far less bombastic and flashy in its execution. |
