According to music critic Bruce Eder, this is a" hard rock "album of its era, which, due to the mixture of rock, synthesizer and chorus, sometimes achieves the sound characteristic of "King Crimson" of the mid-1970s.
Most of the songs are written by the band members, but there are a few cover versions of songs by other musicians, including a treatment of the popular song "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" by Bob Dylan from the 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home.

SHOCKING BLUE-DREAM ON DREAMER-1973-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-POLYDOR-2459317. A very rare original album that was released only in Germany. "Dream On Dreamer" is the seventh album, released in 1973.

"Time Slips Away", "Diana in Her Dreams" and "Save Your Love" are the classic type of songs from earlier Shocking Blue. In addition, quite a big event in the development of the group is the piano ballad "Just a Song", on which Mariska Veres sang just fine, in the same key as in the ballad" I Like You "from the album" Inkpot "("Inkpot"). Initially, the album "Dream On Dreamer" came the firm "Pink Elephant" under the name "Ham", but as soon as he was released on the label "Polydor", the album includes the song "Dream On Dreamer", and the album changed the name and the cover too (Both versions differed more and some change in sostve songs, some were replaced with other, and order them on both discs differed). Since then, it has been known by this name. Robbie van Leeuwen left the band for good shortly after the release of "Dream On Dreamer", but several songs of his composition appeared on the next album "Good Times" (1974). ...more
