X-Dreams is the second solo album by Annette Peacock, released in 1978.[1]
Peacock had spent the previous four years recording material for the album in various studios. She recalled that a total of 22 musicians participated in the creation of the album: "most of them had never played together, and all the tracks were first takes. It was very exciting."[2] Mick Ronson played on tracks 1, 5, 6 and 7. Peacock reflected: "There was an understanding between Mick and I, a mutual respect and admiration."[3]
In an interview, Peacock stated that she approached the creation of the album as if it were two singles, "like each side was one piece... and the relationship between the two sides was important." Side A (tracks 1–3) was "very hard and aggressive," while side B (tracks 4–7) was "very romantic and kind of sweet."[2]
The song "My Mama Never Taught Me How to Cook" is featured in the film Chasing Amy.[4]
The contents of the album were reissued by Sanctuary Records on the 2004 compilation My Mama Never Taught Me How to Cook: The Aura Years 1978–1982.[5]
