Album Introduction
Fantasy is the second international studio album by Freiheit — also known as Münchner Freiheit — from Munich, Germany, released in 1988 on CBS Records. The album reached No. 12 on the UK Albums Chart. Keeping the Dream Alive reached UK No. 14 (1988) — a warm, orchestral pop track that became the band's signature recording and was later featured in the film The Wizard (1989). Kissed You in the Rain was also released as a single. The 10-track album demonstrates the band's ability to combine melodic pop, rock and emotional balladry with their trademark vocal harmonies and polished production, giving them a distinctive position in the late-1980s European pop-rock landscape.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Keeping the Dream Alive — The band's signature recording and one of the most immediately distinctive and commercially effective European pop recordings of 1988; its combination of a warm, orchestral production and the band's ensemble vocal harmonies gives it a sustained commercial appeal and emotional directness that has made it one of the most enduring recordings of the era. UK No. 14 (1988).
- The Land of Fantasy — The title track and one of the album's most atmospherically distinctive and musically ambitious recordings; its combination of a warm, layered production and the band's ensemble vocal harmonies gives it a sustained dramatic tension and emotional expansiveness.
- Kissed You in the Rain — A warm, mid-tempo pop track that gives the album one of its most melodically generous and emotionally direct moments; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and the band's ensemble vocal harmonies gives it a romantic directness and sustained commercial appeal.
- Diana — A driving, rhythmically confident pop-rock track that gives the album one of its most immediately energetic and commercially effective moments; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and the band's ensemble vocal harmonies gives it a sustained commercial appeal.
- Tears Are a Girl's Best Friend — One of the album's most atmospherically distinctive and emotionally expansive tracks at over five minutes; a slow-building, dramatic piece that demonstrates the band's ability to sustain dramatic tension across an extended musical sequence.
