Generally speaking, from recording, concept and performance, this is the best Rozz' project. Dream Home Heartache was the one album project with former bandmate from Christian Death, the keyboard player, vocalist, Gitane DeMone. This is an album that showed the beautiful tension and pressure of their unique duet, in fact, their old performance in Christian Death was already inspired many nowadays darkwave group.

If you know Rozz, surely should've discovered he likes to play cover songs, he ever played David Bowie's Death In Detroit, the Velvet Underground's Venus In Furs and Lou Reed's I Kill My Son. All they showed his musical influenced. In the album, they re arrange Roxy Music's Dream Home Heartache and Jimi Hendrix' Manic Depression which filled with Rozz' spoken word performance.

Released in 1995, apart from the cover songs. They both had their own contribution as they all under the same mood, the instruments used in the album were mainly keyboard style, like piano, accordion, etc. And the outcome was surprisingly started a new kind of goth music, it's mixture of gothic and jazz ballad.

Flowers and The World's Apart are many Rozz fans favourite, which you can barely get the feelings of hope within Rozz' music. And Gitane also had her own contribution, romantic These Vulnerable Eyes and Moon Without A Tear are also amazing and beautiful.

If my memory is right, I've got my Dream Home Heartache in Admirty, Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Records in Pacific Place, and I think my copy is the last new one in Hong Kong, if you are lucky enough, you may find it in second hand records store. It was a night that I should have been sitting in evening class for reporting my f**king HKCEE, but instead I was sitting in a bus and enjoying this records. The impresssion of its dark, sad and lonely with the quiet night time Central remained forever in my mind.
