Dreamy, magical, uplifting, spacey. All of these terms describe this CD. It has a somewhat
electronica sound to it, and yet it also has elements of deep space music. The CD begins with the
sound of a flowing stream and a somewhat traditional East Indian sound. From there it moves into
the hauntingly beautiful Montain Spell with it's rock oriented drums. The next track Dancing The
Climb, is 90's electronica with the East Indian influence. The next three tracks all have their magical
appeal. The  last track Dreaming Himalaya, takes the listener into deep space. A magical CD with
alot of variety. If you want something unique and different, this is the CD for you. 
 
This CD has the sparkling, mysterious radiance of a wintry landscape. Though not as profound
as David Parson's Himalaya, its Himalayan-inspired sounds are smooth and subtle, and the
composition is brilliant as usual. The new drum machine can sometimes be a bit overwhelming
on players with powerful bass. My favorite track, Mountain Spell, is an enchanting and mysterious
bewitched piece. Captivating TD-like rhythms similar to those from his first album. Soulscape
accompany the ethereal "ascent" through the album up to the "View From The Roof." In the
dreamy finale, which has the same 17-minute length as the finale to Darklight, the drums cease and
so does almost all sense of movement, as if we are experiencing the "eternal now" that Hiamalayan
lamas talk about. It is relaxing and inspired, much like "Past Boundaries" from Timeless, but in truth
once you've heard the first seven minutes of this final piece, you've heard it all. On the other hand,
you may find yourself lost in the midst of this blissful Himalayan dream and not want it to end.

"Himalayan Dreams" is a mystic journey into East/West crossover. Robert Carty creates ethnic
instrumentation through his synthesizers and samples. He uses Tibetn bells to add a touch of
authenticity to the proceedings. It is not necessary. Robert's talent and spirituality allow him to
venture into the cross cultural arena with audacity and tenacity. Up to this point, it has been
legitimate to compare Robert with his contemporaries. this album defies comparison. Most
Tibetan crossover is laden with-even bogged by-ethnic instruments. Robert has chosen to
emphasize the Tibetan textures by performing them on Western instruments.
