Dreamspace is the third studio album by power metal band Stratovarius, released on 9 February 1994 through Noise Records.[2] It is the last Stratovarius album to feature guitarist Timo Tolkki on vocals (after which Timo Kotipelto became the lead singer on 1995's Fourth Dimension), as well as the first to feature bassist Jari Kainulainen.[3] Sami Kuoppamäki was asked to record drums for some of the songs after drummer Tuomo Lassila was unable to finnish the sessions due to tendonitis.
