Largely electronic album from singer/songwriter, keyboard player and in demand session musician Gary Wright. This album from 1975 is considered his breakthrough album as a solo artist.

Gary Malcolm Wright (born April 26, 1943) is an American musician and composer best known for his 1976 hit songs "Dream Weaver" and "Love Is Alive" (both on this album), and for his role in helping establish the synthesizer as a leading instrument in rock and pop music. The Dream Weaver came after he had spent seven years in London as, alternately, a member of the British blues rock band Spooky Tooth and a solo artist on A&M Records. While in England, he played keyboards on former Beatle George Harrison's triple album All Things Must Pass (1970), so beginning a friendship that inspired the Indian religious themes and spirituality inherent in Wright's subsequent songwriting. His work since the late 1980s has embraced world music and the new age genre, although none of his post-1976 releases have matched the same level of popularity as The Dream Weaver.
