Go to the Brunnen website  Brunnen - The Beekeepers Dream [Beta-Lactam Records - 2006]

The Beekeepers dream offers up a selection of quirky, laid back airy and often oddly charming songs, twinkling with pop elements. All of the songs are performed and played by Freek Kinkelaar, he uses a well thought out and gentle mix of piano, synthesizer, guitars etc. To make an album to sooth and relax, ones weary souls.

The thirteen songs were written over a thirteen years, and are a nice varied mix of mellow sound craft, going from sad to mellow to child like .The album seems to float by, nothing to disturb your relaxed sate, each song following sweetly on from the next .A few of my favourite track are: Rupert rides a rainbow- which is full child like wonder, with it’s humable  synthesiser melody, rich with lush dreamy air, and down played electronics. Like a childhood dream reborn into audio form, he also adds sound elements like strange bird noise and children playing. Marias of the sea, mixes tabla type beat work, some passionate bluesy guitar work and sound elements of crackling fire.Again having very much of a childhood element, to the proceedings.

A enchanting and chilled out album, prime for those times when you just want slip off you shoes, and relax in a  half awake state ,and be instantly  whisked back to your childhood self.
