Now the Legacy Begins
Although the Dream Warriors' debut was released in 1991--the same year asDe La Soul Is Deadand Definition of Sound'sLove & Life--the album never received proper recognition. Mixing together jazz (the first song is "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style," and it out-loops anythingUs3ever did) and pop, crossing De La's "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" sensibilities withP.M. Dawn's summery touch, and laying down one hell of a groove, the Dream Warriors stepped up to the plate--only no one showed up to play the field. Years later the album sounds just as good as it did back then.--Randy Silver
