V diskografiji Johna Zorna, ki se nepoznavalcem kaže kot komaj pregledna, je najti kar nekaj tematskih ciklov: od skladb, pisanih za projekt Masada, do aktualne serije skladb z naslovom The Book of Angels (imenovane »druga knjiga Masade«) ter nekaj drugih serij, med njimi tudi takšna, ki se imenuje … ja, res je ... Glasbena romanca (Music Romance)! Album Dreamers je četrti v seriji in naj bi bil nadaljevanje leta 2001 objavljenega The Gift, na katerem je Zorn mdr. počastil zvrst »eksotika« – slog, kakršnega so gojili big bandi v ZDA 50. let, ko so mešali godbe iz Latinske Amerike z jazzom in popom. Zasedba The Dreamers je v osnovi enaka kot pri Electric Masadi (manjka Ikue Mori), glasba pa niti slučajno ni podobna razposajeni improvizaciji Masade. Kje pa, The Dreamers zveni milozvočno, sproščujoče, »lepo«. Lenobno drsi čez eksotiko, surf in lounge, tu in tam odmevajoča morriconejevska kitara doda malce napetosti, a se kaj kmalu s havajskimi kitarami zaziba do naslednjega vala … »terasa« jazz, kakršnega v naših hotelih nikoli ne bodo igrali!

John Zorn’s discography, towering reverentially before an uninitiated person, comprises several thematic cycles: from compositions written for the Masada project to the current series of works entitled The Book of Angels (also called Masada Book Two) as well as several other series, among which also… yes, you’ve heard right... Music Romance! Dreamers is the fourth album in the series and the sequel to The Gift from 2001, which, among others, is Zorn’s tribute to the musical genre of exotica – a style exercised by US big bands in 1950s, coupling Latin American music expression with jazz and pop. The Dreamers line-up is basically the same as with the Electric Masada (less Ikue Mori), but its sound is a far cry from the unrestrained improvisation practised by Masada. Nothing like it, The Dreamers give off a sweet, diverting, and “beautiful” sound. Leisurely, the soundscape spins from exotica, surf and lounge music, while occasional Morriconesque guitar motifs add a taste of tension, but are soon stilled by the Hawaiian guitars, already riding the next wave … Lounge jazz, as one can only wish to hear at Slovenian bars!
