Across an Ocean of Dreams
Recording duo Pamela Copus and Randy Copus make up 2002. Across an Ocean of Dreams, the pair’s sixth release, is quintessential 2002, filled with quiet eloquence and lyrical melodies. Their all-original music is ethereal, ambient, and exquisite in its healing power. The music washes over listeners in waves of delicious bliss. Against a backdrop of languid, drawn-out synthesizer chords, acoustic guitar and piano dance ever so sweetly as choirs of angel voices soar. A masterpiece of healing light, Across an Ocean of Dreams is an excellent choice for yoga, massage, reiki, meditation, or simply relaxing with friends. All of the music on the album was composed, arranged, and performed by 2002. Guitar, flute, strings, keyboards, and distant voices enchant listeners as the 10 delicate melodies unfold. Previous 2002 efforts Land of Forever and River of Stars spent scores of weeks on the Billboard charts. Those familiar with 2002’s delicious sound will find much to like on Across an Ocean of Dreams, and new fans will be thoroughly captivated.
Across an Ocean of Dreams
Inspired by myth and legend, this ethereal multi-instrumental music is for relaxation and rejuvenation. Swirling and flowing, it bathes you in a musical expression of the healing waters of sacred wells, rivers and oceans. This is the music of Pamela and Randy Copus, known as 2002, on their latest release Across an Ocean of Dreams. The CD is an irresistible invitation to explore the call of the planet’s jeweled waters. It asks, “What does the ocean dream?” It is a call you want to answer by diving into a new musical experience. From first glimpse of the cover, with sun slanting through blue waters, you want to follow the mermaid through the depths. You pass columns reminiscent of Atlantean ruins and move toward unknown dreams and ultimate relaxation. Perfect for a massage session, the music often has a smooth rocking and rolling feel to it, bringing the feel of water ever closer with gentle repetition that calms like waves lapping on a boat. Being a scuba diver, I was particularly drawn in by track six “Oceans of Life.” It has that quiet, expansive feeling of being one with the deep and blue. The liner notes speak of it being the last dive of the day. The music fills you with a feeling of joy and wonderment at the dance of color and light all around you.
