The Key of Dreams is the second studio album by English post-punk band Section 25, released in 1982 by record label Factory Benelux. It was reissued in 1991 with extra tracks by LTM Recordings.

Reception

[edit]

Andy Kellman for AllMusic described it as "influenced by dub, Krautrock, and '60s psychedelia (and, yes, probably Joy Division as well)" and "sunken in a glum, mid-tempo pit of dejection."[1] Steve Grant and Ira Robbins in Trouser Press describe it as "nine examinations of paranoia and anxiety, using lurking glissandi, curious touches of Doorsish piano and Oriental philosophy."[2]
