Produced in 1994 this self-titled album served as Revival's demo. Quite orchestral in nature it featured the piano and violin over a rich arrangement of synthetic sounds. The eight songs displayed imagination, originality and a sensibility for melody. This was a taste of things to come...

100 copies were sent to record companies worldwide. As it is generally the case with unsolicited material there were many returns. Many polite replies with words of encouragement for the future. Warner Bros. in Germany however were intrigued by the ambitious 8-song demo and immediately requested more material from Revival. 5 new songs were sent overseas with the highest of hopes. These new compositions would turn out to be a real catalyst: although Warner Bros. ultimately declined the offer Revival had discovered the path to follow. Time, experience and a private recording studio would later help refine the vision.

Many years in the making, Revival's "The Longest Dream" is an ambitious concept album that blurs the lines between classical, ethnic and electronic. It explores the mystical world of dreams in one long voyage. "We have approximately 4 to 6 dreams per night." Sorin explains. "Some deal with the past, some with the present and some with future. They can cover a wide range of emotions: fear, happiness, jealousy, anger, sadness, etc. and they can also be irrational, immoral, terrifying or all at once. I find that absolutely fascinating! I wanted my album to have the same diversity and organic flow... one long dream that keeps morphing in different directions."

Tranquil and hypnotic at times "The Longest Dream" is also dramatic and full of passion. At the heart of it all lies Revival's piano; expressive, colorful and capable of delivering the slightest nuance. The variety of moods, textures and melodies immerse the listener in an intriguing world where time ceases to exist and the imagination rules supreme.
