The Further Somniloquies of Dion McGregor

More Outrageous Recordings of the World’s Most Renowned Sleeptalker


Released 9 August 2004



The recorded dreams of Dion McGregor are among the most remarkable audio artifacts ever. By turns (sometimes simultaneously) hilarious, bizarre, poignant, macabre and charming, these singular somniloquies — recorded in the '60s by McGregor's songwriting partner and roommate Michael Barr — leave a vivid impression in the mind of the listener. The Further Somniloquies is the sequel to Dion McGregor Dreams Again (Tzadik 1999) and The Dream World of Dion McGregor (Decca 1964). For more information about Dion's life and recordings, visit the American Song-Poem Music Archives where you will find a brilliant biographical account by McGregor archivist Phil Milstein.

The new compilation includes selections from long-lost dream tapes excavated by Michael Barr. There's some astounding material that hasn't been heard in decades!
