Inward Dreams by Mark Banning

Mark Banning (1953-2023) was a virtuoso guitarist who excelled equally in the realms of rock and new age space music. An electrifying entertainer and beloved educator, Mark was a pretty great person.

Inward Dreams is the first posthumous release of his many unreleased recordings. It was completed in 2009, shortly before Mark would be rediscovered by a younger generation of new age record diggers, culminating in a reissue of his 1985 debut Journey To The Light. Segmented into four tracks, this long piece vividly reveals a tireless innovator, forever refining the paradisiacal sound that seemed to flow through him. Utilizing field recordings with a vaguely industrial bent, Inward Dreams is music for disappearing.
