Keyboard Fantasies is the third studio album by Canadian musician Beverly Glenn-Copeland, self-released on Atlast Records as a cassette in 1986, a time when Glenn-Copeland was best known for his children's television music. The album was inspired by the nature and environment of his home in Huntsville, Ontario, including the surrounding lakes and woods. Recorded using only a Yamaha DX7 and Roland TR-707 drum machine, the musician felt he was able to musically display the feelings that the environment gave him accurately. He felt the entirely electronic instrumentation he used was comparable to an orchestra because of the range of sounds he could create. The album is considered to be an electronic new age album, with pensive, relaxing music and comforting vocals. Upon release, Keyboard Fantasies only sold several copies, but soon grew a reputation among audiophiles as an overlooked, pioneering electronic work. A Japanese fan known in audiophile circles contacted Glenn-Copeland to send him copies of the album in 2015 which he then sold. This helped rise the album's popularity, and soon Glenn-Copeland received offers from record labels hoping to re-release the album.
