Left Ear Records went back to Coleman’s original master tapes for their vinyl reissue

classic. Coleman performs in an alien voice that comes not from electronic filtering
but from his own natural vocal distortions.

LER 1024 RAJAN JAMES IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS 12" 03.2020
1 Impossible Dreams (Unreleased Extended Version) 05:21
2 Impossible Dreams (Instrumental) 05:19
Rajan James, the Jamaican-born English-raised musician’s ‘Impossible Dreams’ is an
inspirational sax-laced single that walks a fine line between North American boogie
and British synth-pop influences of the 1980’s, yet manages to sound distinctly her
own. Left Ear have salvaged both the unreleased full-length versions, including the
instrumental for a 12” single.
