Review: Chihei Hatakeyama's Lucid Dreams is an ambient exploration that ebbs and flows like the tides it references. The opening 'Overflowing' sets the tone with gentle, cascading sounds that evoke a sense of quiet movement. 'Dance of the Ghosts' (feat Cucina Povera) adds a spectral quality, its ghostly vocals dissolving into the atmosphere. 'Three Dice' leans into meditative minimalism, creating a calm before the slight shift into the darker textures of 'End of Summer.' Tracks like 'Wind from the Mountains' (feat Nailah Hunter) introduce organic warmth, balancing out the release's ethereal tendencies.
