Notes | | | It was not only the front cover of the first release of The Dream Mixes which signalled another change in TD's style in autumn 1995: For this album, the functional artwork which was typical for the CD covers of the past years had been replaced by more "techno"-like pop-art design and colours. It showed a dancing girl and text in modern types. No doubt: This cover had obviously been designed for a different target group. Also was the music. Jerome and Edgar -- they were mentioned in this order on the cover -- remixed six tracks from their three recent studio albums Rockoon (1992), Turn Of The Tides (1994) and Tyranny Of Beauty (1995) and added four previously unreleased tracks. The mixes of the old material are named by additional titles which refer to the techno and DJ scene. All tracks are characterised by strong pre-eminent rythms, or, like the cover back side tells: "This album energizes the famous TD sound with an infectious beat." Even if the six well-known tracks from the former albums could be easily recognised by their sound structures, long-year connoisseurs were surely surprised by the "new" sound of the band typified by the strong beats. The Dream Mixes broke with traditions TD fans were familiar with. |

This is the first album of the 'Dream Mixes' series that so far includes the following releases: |

Note that the cover artwork of the Saudi Arabian CD release from 1996 has been slightly edited, so that the girl wears long trousers instead of a short skirt; furthermore the track Change Of The Gods is listed under the abbreviated title Change Of The... on the inserts and the cd itself. |

In spring 1996 TD's then new founded own label TDI released a 2-CD set including the material from the Virgin/Miramar release and a second CD with six previously unreleased tracks. Five of them -- the reworked mixes of material from Rockoon and Tyranny Of Beauty and the new composition Sojus -- had been originally produced for a CD-5 and a 12" vinyl single to be released in late 1995, but the record companies did not want to release them in that form; instead they asked for more commercial remixes. As TD did not want to rework the material this way again, they decided to make it available by the new CD set, adding another new composition: Iowa. This may have sounded familiar to some TD listeners: TD had used a similar theme for the intro of the open air video presentation for Tyranny Of Beauty in 1995. The artwork of the new set was completely different from the first release, showing a photograph by Jim Rakete who also did the photos for Melrose five years ago -- and last not least the text line on the front cover featured something what became more and more typical also for TD's style in the late '90s: Jerome Froese's handwriting... |

In June 1998 TDI re-released the 2-CD set under the new title Dream Mixes One, again with a new cover artwork -- this time done by Edgar Froese himself. |

In March 2009 the album was re-released with different cover design as part of an extensive digipack series (consisting of a total of more than 60 CD and DVD releases) by the Germany based Membran record label. |
