Born in Concord, CA, Lana Lane is both a solo artist and a guest on projects by quite a few other musicians. She works closely with husband Erik Norlander on many of his projects.
Lane's main instrument is her remarkable voice, but she also plays guitar.
Aside from her solo work and work on Norlander's album, she has appeared on albums by such artists as Ambeon, Ayreon, and Rocket Scientists (Norlander's band).
She first began her solo career in 1995 with Love Is an Illusion.
The following year she released its successor, Curious Goods. 1998 would prove to be the next year that the world would see releases from Lana Lane, and it would be a virtual avalanche of music.

Musically, The Dream Sequencer signifies tranquillity and serenity in conjunction with the "last of the Mars Colonists" who have depleted their resources thanks to a catastrophic, albeit futuristic war.

And besides the rather far-flung yet pleasingly affable concept, the crystalline recording in concert with the musicians' often dazzling and altogether sympathetic interplay equates to a thoroughly enterprising affair that sustains interest.

Lucassen enlists a multinational cast of vocalists and musicians for an exposition that at times elicits fond memories of early-'70s Pink Floyd-style dream-laden vistas.

However, the band does indeed perform with a late-'90s edge, while also maintaining a consistently identifiable sound and style as many of these textural soundscapes are enhanced by sweet-tempered vocals, layered synths, and seductive melodies that skirt the fringes of ambient electronica and classic progressive rock.

Whereas, Lucassen excels as an accomplished guitarist and colorist who chooses his notes wisely yet is equally adept at seizing the moment by way of bone-crushing leads and concisely executed chord progressions.

The Dream Sequencer is brimming with climactic overtures, enticing vocal harmonies, and memorably melodic themes.

Highly recommended.
