The Asteroid No. 4 - An Amazing Dream

Following a long hiatus and a few side-projects for much of 2004 and 2005, the group’s longstanding core, Scott Vitt, Eric Harms, and Adam Weaver reunited and demoed the material for their soon to be realized fourth album. In 2006, “An Amazing Dream” was released and once again on the Rainbow Quartz imprint. Many of the songs, written during and intended for “Honeyspot”, were reworked and approached differently than anything they’d done up to that point. Effected guitars and oversaturated reverbed vocals back in the mix, this was clearly the sound The Asteroid No.4 have become known for ever since. Many fans, and critics alike, later cited “An Amazing Dream” as the first real A4 record, meaning the one that first revealed a sound of all their own. 

Within months of the new record’s release and once again in California, the band played in San Francisco, as fate would have it, where they’d meet future guitarist Ryan Carlson van Kriedt. Making an immediate friendship and musical bond, Ryan decided to make the long move to Philadelphia. Although still grappling with a revolving cast on bass guitar, two years of touring the US, UK and Europe ensued in support of “An Amazing Dream”
