Ann Burstyn is the guest on Dharmic Evolution today, she comes from a musical family, and listened to Classical music as a child. Toto is a favorite band, and influenced her amongst other artists such as ABBA. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, are some mentioned. Dealing with Stage Fright was something Ann overcame.  *Rhythm of now The band uses DAT, Digital Audio Tape as part of their recording process.

The band went on to record contributions to other artists' work before releaseing the masterpiece Transcend in 2008. Since then they have become even more active on the web and have hosted live concerts to expand their footprint of live music played for world audiences. Work on Fallen Angel began in earnest in June when the demo tracks really began to take shape and form the structure of the new album. Like prior Dream Aria albums, the music is diverse. The majority of the tunes are upbeat rockers, each with a different sort of instrumental excursion to better develop the sound of each track. Ann Burstyn's lead and backing vocals are again perfectly mixed with harmonies adding depth to round out the overall texture the band have produced. Don and Ann have done a tremendous job on this new project and clearly have a lot more music in their future. Bravo!" — Russ Elliot, Musical Discoveries "Dream Aria's first album In The Wake received critical acclaim after release in 2005.
