Description: Dream It Down is the third album by Australian indie rock/electronic band Underground Lovers, released in 1994. It was the second and final album released as part of a recording contract with the Polydor label and was named Australian album of the year by Triple J. Two singles, "Las Vegas" (May 1994) and "Losin' It" (August 1994) were taken from the album. Songwriter Vincent Giarrusso said the band wanted the album to be markedly different from its predecessor. "Leaves Me Blind had a desperate feel to it," he said. "With this new album we wanted to make the point that you can be subversive and confronting by softer means—that's even more powerful than being smacked over the head with drum rolls and guitars going the whole time." The album was originally recorded in January 1993, but the band, unhappy with the result, teamed with part of the Filthy Lucre production team—Robert Goodge and David Chesworth, formerly of Melbourne electronic band Essendon Airport, and Simon Polinski—to re-construct the songs with a combination of re-recordings, overdubs and editing. Songwriter Vincent Giarrusso said: "We went with David and Robert because we were comfortable with what they could do. They knew how to take the songs to where we wanted to get them. David is an amazing musician; classical, adventurous. Robert is great at showbiz." Bennie said the extra work on production had come at a cost: "It was a lot more frustrating to get the parts right, whereas on Leaves me Blind we went for a lot of first takes." The album also marked the arrival of Derek Yuen in the band, replacing original drummer Richard Andrew, who went on to join Sydney band Crow.
