Review
The trouble with The Dream Weaver is that most of it sounds alike. For all the effects you can squeeze out of electric pianos, organs, clavinets and synthesizers, those devices still have one vital thing in common: a keyboard. As such, the same physical process is usually employed to produce a sound—a process entirely different from that of, say, a reed or a fretted instrument. This is why you can almost always tell the machines from the actual instruments. Synthesizers only synthesize—they don't duplicate, which means that sameness… Read More is an easy trap to slip into. Gary Wright's choice of instruments on his second solo try does little justice to his solid songwriting. Working within basic rock frameworks and chord structures, he manages never to be hackneyed. Few arrangements, however, stand out though "Power of Love" does drive with the best of the hard rockers. Generally, this is a long, mechanized wash, with the moog bass line particularly monotonous.
