Jan Van den Broeke – 11,000 Dreams
11,000 Dreams is a compilation spanning two decades and three different projects of Belgian artist Jan Van den Broeke. The songs are dreamy minimal synth musings that combine elements of post punk and ambient music to great effect. Vocal samples, drum machine, soothing synth pads and jangling guitars all come together to create a sound that feels like welcome patch of sunlight on a cold day. Another fine addition to the ever reliable STROOM 〰 catalog.
