Editorial Reviews
Stark, CD Street
Plenty of wild contrapuntal, classical-styled interplay between the guitar and keyboard spun around strong, hauntingly sung melodies... Highly recomended.

5 out of 5 stars As good as prog rock gets.......2004-08-29

Don't know what else I can add, the other reviews here pretty much say it all. This is easily one of the best progressive recordings ever laid down, regardless of which generation you compare it to.

Incredible orchestration, pace, point-counterpoints, arrangements, etc. -- just a shear joy to listen to.

Also a first rate recording with clean dynamics, spacious sound-stage.

What more can one say, if you can find a copy of this masterpiece - BUY IT!

5 out of 5 stars Let Dreamship Take You Away..........2003-02-16

The more I listen to this album, the more I find myself getting caught up in it. I love the pace of it... from peaceful moments to hard hitting rock and back again.

It's hard to believe this is only a two man band (Tim Martin and Ed Schaum). What blew my mind even more was learning that they have never met in person (they recorded it thousands of miles apart, and exchanged recordings over the Internet!). For what it's worth, recording it like they did is not just a gimmick. The sound is incredible; I couldn't imagine it getting any better.

4 out of 5 stars Progressive roots shine throughout Ancestral Voyage........2002-06-05

Dreamship has produced a first album that is sure to please many fans of the classic progressive rock acts of the '70s. On first listen the music is hauntingly familiar and the influences of Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull and a bit of Alan Parsons come immediately to mind. While the past has clearly influenced the direction of Ancestral Voyage, after several listens their sound establishes itself as a unique creation that stands strong on it's own merit. Tim Martin and Ed Schaum have created an epic album, fully capable of transporting progressive rock fans into the 21st century.
