Details:
Guitarist Jason Takaki and pianist Doug Carter initially formed the band in late 2003. Their intent was to create something that would step out of the boundaries of conventional musical thought. Over the course of the next two years, after playing with many different musicians, the two found Edwin Porras and Chris Schultz, who shared their goals. The group, now called John-a-Dreams, set out to create music that is wholly original, that manages to connect with others by the strength of its honesty. Their influences are many, ranging from Richard Strauss to Weather Report, Pink Floyd to George Clinton, The Beatles to Robert Randolph; anything they've ever heard finds its way into their music and lays the foundation for their own unique sound. In the short period that the quartet has been together, they have enjoyed performing around their hometown of Long Beach and have recently won the battle of the bands at CSULB. Their fanbase is growing steadily and they are constantly composing new material, signs that they plan to be around for a while.

The total number of songs in the album is roughly ten:
Gone
Full Closet
Again Still Always
Under the Sky
Wishing Wells
The Yoga Groove
Singing in the Shower
The Sermon
The Japanese Folk Song
Georgy Porgy

The Title of the album is, after much debate about the litigations that threat to vanquish the spirit of the Inuit by manufactoring every day life problems, and by practicing pork barrelling, to favor the uninclusive interests of those disembodied entites that wish the decadent to remain ignorant, AWARE AWAY. We like the title cause it converts in among other things to: WW ARE AAY or ARE YA A WAWA or the old time favorite: A WRY AWE AA.
