Unforeseen Reflections
A “why not?” effort from Dreamtone’s founders, me and Onur Ozkoc. After recording and dumping an entire album because it had “issues,” we entered the studio again, going for more complex compositions. It ended up as a demo selling in the mid-four-figure range, a hard-to-achieve success in Turkey even today after almost 20 years of market expansion.

Album Story
It was the first album that Dreamtone “managed” to release. Although there was another recording, which only the song Pandemonium made out from the desk, this was the record that laid down the composition ideology of Dreamtone. Listeners can feel what Unforeseen Reflections started all the way to Ophidia and even Skies Fall.
It was a sincere effort from 19-year-old kids and the most successful demo of its time in terms of local reach. Although the lineup features a full band, the band only had me and Onur on the recordings. We handled all the instrument work, leaving the drums for a drum machine.
Until Maegi’s Skies Fall, this was also the last record I played guitars.
For promotion, I had pressed, prepared, and posted over 500 CDs one by one. Thanks to my local neighborhood post office’s continued usage, the post office clerk could retire early, filling his quota. He and I kept in touch for a long while after his retirement.
