An easy listen, especially by Zorn's standard. The material combines jazz, surf, easy listening, and a bunch of other genres, but as aforementioned, it never gets loud (the closest it does is with the comparatively hectic "Toys"). While a pleasant listen, The Dreamers occasionally bores (the overlong "Anulikwutsayl" and "Exodus") and it isn't really much more than just that... pleasant. Still, it is mostly a fun record, and there's a lot worse stuff you could be listening to. Recommended, albeit mildly.
