Consistent and well-received live shows helped spreadthe word about the band and resulted in a follow-up release in 1996, a rathersurprising dance mini-album entitled Nuda Veritas. Released in 1997, Apaikarevealed both the power and the diversity of the band. Apaika is a very mixedalbum, very diverse; there’s some acoustic material, guitars, grand piano, someethnic influences, flute, didgeridoo, different forms of percussion, all mixedwith some heavier songs. The album Mirror Moon finally appeared in May 2001,and indeed marks something of a new start for the band. Guitars were a littlelouder and an album was created where metal, gothic, electro and ambient elementsbecame equal. A further turning point in the band’s career came in 2003 whenDancing Ferret Discs put together Faery Child, a compilation of The Dreamside’smaterial for the American market. Faery Child featured a cross-selection of theband’s material, together with two previously unreleased songs from the MirrorMoon album sessions and a remix by Cruexshadows of Fairy Child. 2005 saw therelease of Spin Moon Magic and a single, Open Your Eyes, taken from it, a duettwith Rogue from The Cruexshadows “A masterpiece of the Metal Female Voicesgenre,” is how UK metal magazine Fireworks described it: “a truly outstandingalbum which moves you from the depths of despair to full-on dance-floor mania”.Spin Moon Magic went into the alternative chart top 5 of Germany, Italy,France, Belgium and The Netherlands. The readers of US music magazine"Gothic Beauty" elected The Dreamside as the "Best Band Of TheYear 2005" and the Belgium magazine "Sideline" honored the bandwith the title "Band Of The Season".
