Brent Spiner & Maude Maggart - DREAMLAND

- This is a look at the making of "DREAMLAND" - a cd featuring Brent Spiner & Maude Maggart. The CD harkens back to radio's golden age, with a love story that is told through classic songs, characters, dialog and sound FX. Part musical, part radio drama and part film noir, the concept for this "audio film" sprang from Spiner's becoming a partner in a recording studio (the one featured in the video). Miss Maggart is well known in the cabaret world and brings a wonderful haunting quality to the dreamlike narrative. All in all, it's a uniquely romantic escape that stands apart from ordinary cd's and must be heard in it's entirety to be fully appreciated.
Available at iTunes, Amazon.com and www.therealbrentspiner.com
(autographed cd's also available at www.therealbrentspiner.com)
Here's what people are saying.....
"INGENIOUS" - The Wall Street Journal
"If they give out Charm Awards somewhere, Dreamland would be a sure winner...In the wrong hands, this endeavor could have been treacly or self-consciously labored. But, with humor and what feels like a natural and willing fit for old radio-style drama and non-condescending fondness for songs where romance is the be-all and end-all, it all works".
- Talkinbroadway.com
"The most romantic cd you'll ever hear"
-Your Wedding Day magazine
"A wonderful throwback to the radio days of old and a thoroughly enjoyable 50 minutes of entertainment...One thing that I couldn't help but yearn for, is a full cinematic version of this album. That's what I thought at first, but when I thought again, I realised that like a good book, I've built the whole story up in my imagination and that is where it should probably stay."
- Indielaunchpad.com
"Dreamland is a wonderful, thought-provoking adventure that invokes nostalgia for classic romance. There were moments when I was incited to laughter, enthralled with suspense and nearly moved to tears. The performances are first-rate."
-listener review
"A huge breath of fresh air. Once you start listening, you get swept away into the story and almost feel like you're watching it unfold right before you."
-listener review
"Each 'retelling' enriches the movie I have playing in my head. Eventually, I'm sure I'll be able to listen to something else.. but for now, I'm going to enjoy the rich tapestry of imagination that is Dreamland."
-listener review
"Best damn CD ever!"

What can't Brent do? Seriously, he acts, sings, dances, does voices, he is a comedian,
He has multi-talent. I was fascinated by his singing voice.💕
@@spotdata568 He has a sexy voice, singing and talking IMO
I was amazed at how his singing voice sounds absolutely nothing like his talking voice.
Brent can perform stunts to an extent. Just nothing too crazy since he's not a professional stuntman.
The Renaissance Man. A Whole Artist.
Oh God, I could fall asleep to his angelic voice 🥺🥺🥺
me toooo 😿
I've always thought Brent Spiner was a terriffic actor but I didn't realize his talent was so complex. He picked the right people for this project. They were all amazing.
i was 3 in 1991, and everytime Data came on i'd stop whatever i was doing and stare at the tv. my sister who was 15 then was the one that had it on.
Brent Spiner was put on the Earth to introduce Maude Maggart to more people.
I met Brent yesterday and he is lovely and really funny. I love the fact that he can be super emotive, whilst becoming infamous with such an awesome but deadpan character (Data).
Brent Spiner and Mark Hamill? My sci-fi, animated series, voice acting fan brain may just explode.
Actually that is pretty smart to hire Hamill as he is a voice acting God. I love Spiner's vocal talents, quite the singer and I wished I saw him in more voice acting roles.
I know this is 12 years ago. But Brent Spiner'd voice should have been more used in various animations. His voice is breathtaking
Her voice is so lovely
You must talk to him; tell him that he is a good cat, and a pretty cat, and...
...i will feed him.
Dreamland is a masterpiece.
Fabulous! Brent just gets better and better! Love the music, love the video - wonderfully entertaining and he couldn't have picked a better singing partner than Maude Maggart.
@Raea714 Right ON Spinersistah! Brent has it all. His pure masculine charisma makes me quiver. I think his true fans range all ages. We celebrate everything he does because he does it so well.
I´m so in love with his voice! His older Album "Ol´yellow eyes is back" is my favorite CD, and hearing it with headphones on..omg ***
Renaissance man Brent! Maude is awesome too! Thanks and take care.
Mr. Spiner is a consummate actor, excellent singer, excellent 'invisible man' (one doesn't see him until he allows it), as well as a superb judge of female singers. Hence the title of this video.
This was wonderful. I got a hand written autographed copy To Kismet, Love always Brent! Had him on my radio show he was awesome!
Brent you are THE BEST!! I really enjoy your songs and your site is great! Please continue like this!. Bye from Argentina!. Martin.
Her voice is absolutely amazing! And Brent is hilarious.
Its a shame this music album never made it to Broadway or the West End in London. This would have been fantastic!
Love the video: more, more, more, please!
This album is superb!I`ve never heard anything like this........and the extra plus is that BRENT SPINER sings here!!!!!!!I`m impressed.
I mean this project completely made my day, Brent and Mark Hamil, my 2 fav actors together! And the music itself is above amazing!!
Yeah. While I would have liked to see the story on screen, the audio and music does take you back to a bygone age where people listened to radios when TV has not been invented yet.
this is an unusual 'behind the scene'
lol
@cynthiacher Finding someone attractive is always a matter of taste. Personally, I think Brent has the whole package: looks, talent, intelligence, charisma, etc. I say most of his fans are young because if you search for Brent fan tributes here on YT or for fan websites and you look at the creator’s profiles, most of them are in their 20’s (like me, though just barely lol). I also feel he has gotten more attractive as he has aged. However, that is my taste and everyone has their own opinion.
He's much much cuter through time lmao.. oh. I'm 17! 🤭
Mr. Spiner is actually a little older than my father but I always thought he was handsome in his youth and prime when I saw him in movies and TV shows as I was growing up. While he's clearly one of the best actors I've ever seen, I don't think that his acting talent alone was enough to make his Data character as popular as he was. I'm really sure that Brent's personal charm and good looks had a lot to do with it as well.
@@Elly3981if you watch his screen test he absolutely oozes charisma. he's doing a not so great interpretation of shylock from MoV but you don't even care because you're just hanging on every word he says. incredibly magnetic.
@@k_a_y_l_e_e Yep. Good looks and charm/talent can definitely get you far in life. Luck too.
I have this CD and Brents voice -Swoons- Awesome just pure awesomeness:))
8:50 What's better than Maude Maggart? Three Maud Magarts singing tight harmony.
@cynthiacher Actually, I think most of us die-hard fans are young enough to be his granddaughters. And that's because he IS hot. :)
I'd be his great granddaughter for my age. Hahah
Maud has a wonderful voice! I admit, I only knew her through her sister, of whom I'm a huge fan. But I'm a fan of Maude now too-for completely different reasons, and in her own right.
This is brilliant - an ultimately happy-ending - classic musical with some great songs - Stranger in Paradise (OK Polovtsian Dances from Borodin's Prince Igor) appears as a showstopper! Well done
Disney better hire Maude to do the Snow White remake!
So perfect. I love this
Solid Mary Tyler Moore Show reference, nice one haha
Lol i love hearing Brent laughing at 36 secs, reminds me of one of my friends =D
My God this is a beautiful CD. Truly brilliant.
I must get this. He offers personalized autographed copies on his website. I'm off to get one. Happy Birthday to me!
Great to see Mark Hamill supplying his voice-over talent's to this project. Thank's for posting this interesting video.
This album is just wonderful. The writing is really tight -- funny, warm, and with layers that you only notice after several listens.
The directions to the restaurant are accurate!
What a terrific concept! Brent is a great singer, as is Maude This video is funnier than 99 percent of all the sitcoms this year! Love Mac!
I would love this even if it didn't team up Data and Luke Skywalker.
OHHHHH MYYYYYY!!!!! LOVE IT!
I LOVE this type of music and OH MY he can sing too!! Wowza !!
Maude is fabulous!
Girlfriend, Michelle, and I caught up with her @ the ocean side Colony Hotel in Palm Beach last summer for an A++++ show second to none!! Those who say traditional Americana is passe are all wet! Maude swims with the best of them and with a sea of mediocrity out there, her voice and style rise above the din and into the heavens.
I absolutely love it! I love Btent's voice and they way he comes across in the video, and I also love everything else about it...YIKES!
I've been waiting for this since over twelve years...wooohoooo!
@LiveLoveObsess
That's from the old Mary Tyler Moore Show, Chuckles the Clown
got killed by an elephant and at his funeral the recalled his philosophy.
"A little song, and little dance, a little seltzer down your pants".
Of course it is possible they took it from somebody earlier.
I knew Brent could sing, onetime got an older album but THIS WITH FUCKING MARK HAMILL TOO - I must have now.
OOOH kayy, must not have now it's collectable priced. Wow. Glad it's doing so well.
I listened to the whole album..it's like I want a musical show with it. Or an animationnnnn about it. OH PLEASE DO!!!
I would have loved to see a short film version of the album but I can understand why Brent didn't make one since he was no longer a young man when he produced Dreamland.
Oh I really want a copy of this.
@cynthiacher
There is a market for everything and anything, especially stuff that is well-done. Don't discount something's viability just because you, personally, may not "get it." True, radio plays (and audio productions in the same style) may not have held up as well in the present market as some things, but they are still popular and still valid.
She is Fiona Apples sister. Gods what a voice!
I don't think Brent's die hard-fans are obsessed, but some of them are pretty close.
Anyways, it's a nice album.
I bought it because of the concept itself, not many records like this around these days.
And he'll probably sell tons, thanks to all his fans. But I'm sure he would prefer people buying it for the music and not just for him.
Definitivamente adoro este tipo de música, pero no se puede negar que Brent, Maude y toda la producción que hay detrás es un plus. Y Brent Spiner es garantía de calidad en todo lo que hace. Somos afortunados por su buen gusto a la hora de realizar este album, porque es maravilloso.
i'm getting the cd!! *squeal!!!*
Wow, very nice
I agree!!!
I have seen her many times and will not miss one of her shows if possible.
She will be back at The Colony soon.
He’s so lovely 😌 also can we appreciate his shoulders and arms in that black long sleeve 😏
Also also you can really tell she’s related to Fiona Apple, definitely can hear the family resemblance. She’s brilliant ☺️
I'm inspired.
Why doe this person continually come back to comment in the negative? If you don't like it go away, no one is forcing you to listen to this great work!
She has a nice voice.
Charming old Callus...
He surely is fully functional
i.will.feed.him.
(thank you for this)
yaysies!
@PianoWizzy thanks a lot..its brilliant...
Yes they can, with a dream program. :)
The mixer talks about being surprised at the fact that they got songs down in one take, but, to me, that's just what I'd expect. Spiner was trained as a theatre actor first and foremost, so the notion of having only one shot at getting a good performance must be hard-wired into him by this point. There's no second-to-fifty-fourth take in theatre. You either hit the mark every night... or you don't.
Must it be a competition? Maude Maggart is a great singer and Fiona Apple is a great singer and composer too. They are both great at what they do, each in their own way.
I know right. Maude sounds more theatrical. And Fiona sounds pop-like
It's not available in Canada :*( But I really want to hear it!
yay!! i agree....or, as the 3 yr old in me would say: i agwee
Why are we so down on the guy with the beard? Guy with the beard can come be in my shot, we'll even go have a round of shots, then maybe go get our flu shots. That's how much I'm about the beard guy and shots. Mr. Spiner has a very pleasant singing voice, but I bet the guy who played Lore is MUCH nicer. :>D
Um, you do know that Mr. Spiner had to play both Data and Lore because he doesn't actually have an identical twin brother, do you.
Two Jokers!
people who watch this should watch this, too: ua-cam.com/users/freshhellseries (Brent Spiner) -- Thanks a million, Brent!
Just as soon as I finish TNG I will be watching that :D
@CoAvsAndTheFray I totally agree! :D
that´s the only point where the rumors start^^ some say Loree is his wife, some say not. but after searching through some sites I think they are married
Maude please come to Boston or Worcester
ha! he does play the piano I knew it! lol don't mind my randomness!
Glitch "Advisor to the Queen"
I need a job, so I can buy this. WANT.
I like Maude’s voice better than Fiona’s.
gail chord schuler wants love making while you sing brent !
what is the song at 1:49 called??
well done..
Brent Spiner Sucks!!! (This comment was inspired by Fresh Hell web series. I actually adore that man).
At least I'm not Brent Spiner.
don´t we all have both sides in us, too?! and Lore wasn´t "bad" he felt pain for beeing rejected by his father - hello- read his biography and look at pics of him and his "wife" he doesn´t seem happy at all...
Buy an iTunes card with cash. They're everywhere... like Staples, Best Buy, Walgreens, etc, etc...
@BlueberryHearts
which proves popularity doesn't necessarily line up with quality.
maude maggart is fiona apples sister for those who did not know that
yeah, I came to the same conclusion before, that the joke is- that he´s not joking (hope u understand)^^but at least he doesn´t make fun of his fans like others do^^ I love him, his work, his acting, singing, humour... but sure he s.times acts a little "ego"- who cares, nobody´s perfect!
lol reload da phasers and go on
01:24 lmao
sry, it´s ment to be for "cynthiacher"s comment ;-p
all i can think about is data in his yellow uniform
Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
No. Fiona Apple is Maude Maggart's sister.
I think that's Ric Flair's girl
Ummmmm, you obviously arent aware of his first cd LOL
felis cattus. is your taxonomic nomenclature, an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
I agree. He's DILF and I'm a guy. =)
I disliked Brent Spiner before this.
Now I'm just annoyed with him.
