Dreamscape is a 2007 science fiction thriller style black-and-white film noir written and directed by Daniel J. Fox as the first feature film made by UK based Indie production company Chat Noir Productions Ltd.
After hearing about Dreamscape Inc., a company that provides custom fantasies directly to a subscriber's brain as he sleeps, a bored businessman (Daniel J. Fox) visits the sales offices and signs up for the service. After an outpatient procedure to implant a receiver in his head, he goes home and begins to dream about being an unstoppable secret agent whose mission is to deliver a confidential package to a contact. In his electronic fantasies, he tackles rival agents, wins the affections of "The Girl" (Sandra Darnell), and keeps one step ahead of his nemesis "The Investigator" (Mark Ellingham). But the fantasy turns sour and reality and illusion begin to blur.
Dreamscape is a progressive metal band from Munich, Germany.
Dreamscape was founded by Wolfgang Kerinnis (lead guitarist) and Stefan Gassner (rhythm guitarist) in 1986. After numerous changes in the line-up, Tobi Zoltan (singer), Andreas Angerer (drummer) and Benno Schmidtler (bass guitarist) were hired to perform full-time with them. After very thorough preparations, they started performing live in 1992.
After a few more line-up changes, they produced three demos in between 1993 and 1995: Dreamscape, Decisions and Changes.
In 1996, the band recorded its first full-length album in their own studio, titled Trance-like State. It was released through Rising Sun Records almost a year later in 1997.
In the wake of the CD production, the band decided that they needed a keyboard player as a permanent member, hiring Jan Vacik to fill the spot. Vacik's hiring caused a rift, and as a result three members left, including the founding member Gassner.
