Conflict And Dreams - Cairo - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 20 days)

First-ever vinyl release of the original 1998 album, plus previously unreleased bonus material: Western Desert, remixed and performed live by Jeff Brockman.

Following their groundbreaking debut, Cairo, the American progressive rock band Cairo continued their musical journey with the album Conflict and Dreams, originally released in 1998 on the renowned progressive label Magna Carta Records. Now, this second album appears on vinyl for the first time, complete with another previously unreleased bonus track, making it a must-have for both collectors and new fans.

Conflict and Dreams unfolds a rich musical landscape in which long, compelling compositions transport the listener through dynamic arrangements where keyboards, guitars, and rhythm section interplay and reinforce each other. Tracks like “Angels and Rage,” “Corridors,” and “Valley of the Shadow” showcase the band’s technical prowess and symphonic ambition, while the album’s production further emphasizes the intensity and depth of the music.

While the album builds on the symphonic, keyboard-driven sound of the debut, Conflict and Dreams showcases a refined and mature style, with greater layering and variety. The addition of the exclusive bonus track offers fans a unique opportunity to discover unreleased material from the band's creative peak.

This vinyl release combines analog warmth with rare, new material, offering both longtime fans and new listeners the chance to relive a seminal work from the '90s prog scene—an album that stays true to the tradition of symphonic rock while simultaneously asserting its own distinctive voice.
