...jazz and soothing ambient music, Goldie's compositions defiantly slip the grasp of any one genre and instead slide back and forth between high-energy passages that make you want to dance and quiet interludes that make you want to assume the lotus position and meditate--or at least daydream a little.

The music too has improved. Gone are the crashing synthesizer sounds and the overwhelming orchestrations. The songs on Daydream are restrained, such as the cool, blissfully nostalgic Underneath the Stars and the subdued, romantic Melt Away. And on the CD's final track, the stark...
