Dream house (also known as dream trance), 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.
[edit] Popular tracks
The track that launched dream house to popularity was "Children" by Robert Miles, a melancholic piece of music, its debut album Dreamland was also an iconic Dream House record. Among the most popular dream house tracks were :
