1.0 out of 5 stars BE AWARE!!!, March 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Future Is Listening (Audio CD)

I just got this off of another web site...

"""NAME ALERT: Do not think the album "The Future is Listening" is by our UFO. It is by the band UFO! (The ! makes the difference), who have a handful of dance singles. Be warned!"""

This isn't a Micheal Schenker, Phil Mogg, Pete Way CD!

FYI

5.0 out of 5 stars Phunckatek UFO! Great Album Drum & Bass!, August 14, 2011

Amazing production album from US drum and bass artist UFO! This is not a rock band as you can tell from the other reviews. I believe this is UFO!'s first full length album. It contains a number of well produced Y2K+ DnB tracks. Standout tracks include Future Primitive, Esfirro, Airport, Deckard 2021. The track Cant Turn Back time is a sick slower chop-up that is signature UFO! nastyness. I should mention the breakdown on Airport is ahead of its time (the drum programing would make Dubstep producers envy). Things Happen for a Reason is a hybrid tune with DJ Shadow like melody over UFO! drums and sweeping atmospherics. A couple of these tracks above really show the progression of the San Francisco native.

Should also mention the album contains two CLASSIC UFO! tracks. Science Fact and Enemy Infiltration. Enemy Infiltration is a legendary US Drum n' Bass ANTHEM. The drum programming set the standard for UFO! tunes to follow. The atmospherics on Enemy Infiltration are eerie and beautiful. In fact a DAT of this tune was used by UK dnb producers at Renegade Recordings to cut a dnb track and UFO! was not given proper credit (i'm sure this is on wikipedia)

Couple other tracks are atmospheric melodies etc.

UFO! is an underground legend in the US drum and bass/Jungle music scene. One of the originators of the Phunckatek crew he has more recently relocated to NYC and continues his music endeavors.

Fore Warning: This is not some "ufo" rock band people are getting confused with. Pay attention before you buy this cd. This is drum and bass, and if you like UFO the english cheese rock, this is not what your looking for.

Now on with the real cd. This is simply one of the best, solid, dnb cd's ive heard all 2001/2002. UFO! really delivers an awsome, original, drum and bass cd like you've never heard before. The mixing is good and follows a nice flow. From hard hitting 'Enemy Inflitration' (which put UFO! on the map) to feet stomping 'Airport'. Every single track is solid and makes you want to keep listening for that next cut to keep your body movin'. The whole cd could be described as a SCI-FI movie on fast forward. With that frantic to spaced out type of feel to the samples. If you like Dieselboy mixed with Dom and Roland and a 50's UFO movie, youll love this. To get a taste of UFO! The Future is Listening, get your hands on "Enemy Infiltration" mp3 or such. Then buy the cd, you won't regret. Easily one of my favourite CD's right now.

UFO! contends as one of the most up-and-comming dnb DJ's and proves that and more on "The Future Is Listening"
