He has also recently released a new CD, titled Dreamies: Program Twelve (The End Is Near), featuring similar sounds to the previous dreamies, with more recently released music including Neil Young and Nelly, and President Bush speeches about Saddam Hussein.
"Dreamies" is a term coined by Isaac Asimov in 1955 in a short story called "Dreaming is a Private Thing". It refers to manufactured dream sequences. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Bill+Holt">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
