The title track was inspired by a belief of the aboriginal peoples of Australia - called Dreamtime. This album appears to be a natural evolution from "Aural Sculpture"; it contains a mixture of upbeat and thoughtful tracks and includes the addition of pedal steel guitar to compliment the horns. Highlights include "Always the Sun", which became a frequently-played live track and "Shaking like a Leaf", with its "Swing"-like feel.

Epic records were certain this album would be a big success on the back of the much hyped single "Always The Sun." However its disappointing chart placing in the UK singles chart(#30)meant that Dreamtime could only reach #16 in the album chart.

However it should be known that the Albums chart at this time still included compilation albums as well as studio albums unlike today. In terms of todays charts Dreamtime would have reached in or around the top 5.
