"This one will sweep you off your feet! Dreamchaser establishes Ancient Future as a world-class music group. A dazzling variety of instruments are heard, from sitars and guitars to violins (acoustic and electric) and keyboards, and percussion instruments from African talking drum to dumbek, gamelan, cymbals and kalimba. This is an exciting album that really moves, and features one cut in the 'spirit of the Andes'." – Heartbeats, Backroads Distribution

"Indonesian campus radio listeners picked Gamarock off the Ancient Future album Dreamchaser as the #1 jazz song. Gamarock received 400 points and Edge of a Memory received 125 points out of 2000 points counted weekly for all songs. Trisakti University is the biggest private University in Indonesia and they are critical in jazz and pop songs. When they say they like it....THEY LIKE IT." – Srahreza, Campus Radio DJ, Jakarta, Indonesia

"Ancient Future es una banda norteamericana que practica un jazz-fusión de alta calidad. Con incuestionables tintes progresivos en cada uno de sus temas, "Dreamchaser" es un nuevo paso en su prolija carrera musical. El álbum posee un corte bastante étnico. De hecho, canciones como "Edge of the Memory" rememoran el sutil encanto de grupos como Embryo, aunque en una faceta más melódica. Piano, guitarras acústicas, flautas, sintetizadores, percusiones africanas y orientales desfilan con gran elegancia, denotando el virtuosismo de cada uno de los integrantes. Un disco pulcro y variado. ¡Excelente! " – Juan Barrenechea Herrera, Subterránea

The album has a distinctly ethnic feel; in fact, songs like "Edge of the Memory" evoke the subtle charm of groups like Embryo, albeit with a more melodic approach. Piano, acoustic guitars, flutes, synthesizers, and African and Eastern percussion instruments are showcased with great elegance, highlighting the virtuosity of each band member. A polished and diverse album. Excellent! " – Juan Barrenechea Herrera, Subterránea Blog Issue 3, May 2000
