LP version. The Lucid Dream return with their fourth album, Actualisation. Driven by fans raising £10,000 to help replace all equipment robbed after a Paris show in early 2017, a new album became the instant focus in the summer of 2017 for a rejuvenated The Lucid Dream. Actualisation is soaked in the influence of acid house, amalgamated with dub and Kosmische. It will again see them acknowledged for venturing into pastures new, setting themselves apart from 'genres', 'scenes' or what any other act are currently doing. The album was penned over the summer of 2017 by Mark Emmerson (vocals/guitar/synths), using only the classic Roland 303/808 synths, bass and vocals as tools for writing. Inspiration for the writing was formed via continuous listening to the Chicago to UK acid house works of 1986-1992, the focus predominantly on the groove. Recorded at Whitewood Studios, Liverpool, with Rob Whiteley, the album is produced alongside long-time collaborator Ross Halden (Ghost Town Studios, Leeds), with mastering via Dean Honer (All Seeing I/I Monster/The Moonlandingz). The Lucid Dream formed in Carlisle, in 2008. A string of sold-out 7″s was followed by the debut longer player, Songs Of Lies And Deceit (HAY 004CD, 2013). The Lucid Dream (HAY 007CD) was released in March 2015 to further acclaim. Their third album, Compulsion Songs (HAY 009CD/LP) was released in September 2016, on Holy Are You Recordings. Limited version on red vinyl.
