His latest album Dreams Beyond leaves the listener
wanting
more— a great line up of musicians from Juini Booth to
Ikue Mori. Spanos' drumming is masterful. As a result,
these fine musicians will take the listeners on a dream-
like musical journey through time, from the sounds of the
past to the sonic landscapes of the future and back.
