The Key of Dreams


The Key of Dreams is the second studio album by the English post-punk band Section 25, released in May 1982 by Factory Benelux. It was reissued in 1991 with extra tracks by LTM Recordings.

Reception

Andy Kellman for AllMusic described it as "influenced by dub, Krautrock, and '60s psychedelia " and "sunken in a glum, mid-tempo pit of dejection." Steve Grant and Ira Robbins in Trouser Press describe it as "nine examinations of paranoia and anxiety, using lurking glissandi, curious touches of Doorsish piano and Oriental philosophy."
