Dream house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the TV game show, see Dream House
Dream house was a short-lived dance music style which had a big success on the dance scene between 1995 and 1997. Its main feature is the importance of melody, usually a very dreamy one (hence its name), typically played on a piano, or in some cases a violin, saxophone, etc. And now, as of 2006, for most of the cases, synthesizer sounds.
The track that launched dream house to popularity was "Children" by Robert Miles, a melancholic piece of music. Among the most popular dream house tracks were "Sky Plus" by Nylon Moon, "Celebrate" by Zhi-Vago, "In Africa" by Pianonegro, and many others.
Traces of dream house music can be found in today's progressive trance.
The theme to the CBS TV series NCIS is a Dream House piece
