Dreams Fantasies & Nightmares: A pop/rock album. The group were earlier known as Mandala. They achieved some commercial success with I Can Hear You Calling in November 1970, but disbanded the following year after one album. In general, the tracks on this album are not unlike the music Troiano and Kenner wrote and played later with The James Gang - funky hard rock. Drink Your Wine is the best and most adventurous of this genre. Other tracks worth a spin are Yonge Street Party, which sounds an interesting combination of Grand Funk and The Temptations; I Miss You is a slower track whose melody and guitar work has some similarity with The Rolling Stones' Black And Blue album; and Turn Down is in a more jazzy direction with a lazy rhythm. In February 1972, Troiano and Kenner joined The James Gang, after Joe Walsh's departure, and became leaders of this band, writing almost all the material on their Straight Shooter and Passin' Thru' albums. After these Troiano went solo making five albums between 1972-79. He also played on The Guess Who albums in 1975. Then in 1980 he was in a band called Instructions. Kenner remained with The James Gang as lead vocalist for two further albums (Bang and Miami) and also provided the percussion and vocals on the first two Troiano records. In 1972, Glan joined John Kay (Steppenwolf)'s solo band and played on his first two solo albums. John and Glan also played on the first of Troiano's albums and later with Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Bearfoot (in the mid-seventies) and on the second American Flyer album in 1977. A borderline case for inclusion as Glan and John became the top rhythm section in L.A. and Kenner stayed in the 'States. Only Troiano returned to work in Canada. ~ (Vernon Joynson/CA)
