Cosmic Dream / Universal Machine / Spf 5 [1996] -

: Universal Machine was part of the San Francisco Bay Area electronic music scene during the 1990s.

: The artist has stated that "Cosmic Dream" was dedicated to Carl Sagan , a figure who provided "reason and hope" through his work in science and cosmology. This space-age influence is reflected in the track’s atmospheric, "cosmic" sound.

: Critics and listeners characterize the release as a blend of Trance, Techno, and House , specifically noting its "chilled out, space age vibe" which was distinct from the faster 150bpm "hard trance" common in the mid-1990s.
