    The record touches on new tonal and structural territories, however incremental, while maneuvering within the same basic framework laid out in Ital's debut.

    This lack of clear signposts can make navigating the nightmare-laden second half of Dream On a bit more difficult as the sound effects pile up and the tracks get denser.

    These are soundscapes rather than tracks.

    Ital's sense of abrasion and his notion of groove are both finely tuned, so it's all for the best when they work in parallel.

    The core of Dream On though is an album, and a good, if imperfect, one at that. It’s an LP worth exploring with the cultural filters both turned on and off.

    Its best tracks suggest a similarly abrasive, exploratory and jammed on the fly approach to House music [as Jamal Moss].

    Dream On moves in pretty similar territory to Hive Mind and with almost as much flair.

    Dream On finds him utilizing the computer-processed end of his sound with a newly savage intensity.
