This CD is easily Keoki's best. There isn't one weak track on the entire album. It flows as if it were one long song rather than 15 separate ones. If you are looking for a a great road trip CD, this is the one.

My first copy of this disc was given to me by Keoki at a party in Greensboro NC in 1994. I fell in love with it then and I still enjoy it. Keoki had, an perhaps still has (i dont know because I'm long out of the scene)an incredible knack for selecting the right music and putting it together well. His selection was perhaps what made him such a successful dj. His ability to blend trance with housier type music was his trademark, and of course the over sampling of his signature samples ("I have come to save the day..."). Everytime I hear this cd, I close my eyes, feel the warm waves of happiness and journey back to my more carefree days.

DJ Keoki is a major figure in the Techno scene. This album is pretty fly. There are some songs here that I like more than the others, and some strong points here and there. It is pretty fair throughout.

Let me start off by saying that I own every Keoki CD available. Not a huge fan of anything after [...] but I still own the albums because...well, because it's Keoki. For the longest my favorite albums were Disco Death Race 2000 and All Mixed Up. Until one day, I picked up a copy of A Superstar Journeys By DJ Keoki...

Listened to the album from beginning to end then pressed rewind and listened again. This mix puts you on a journey through trance, house and even early breakbeat. I think it sounds like a wonderful rave thrown in purgatory. Definitely a darker sound than Keoki's normal stuff. This is now my all time favorite Keoki album. Don't listen to the other reviewers, buy it if you get the chance.

This is the album that got it all started for me. A friend lent me his copy and never got it back! O.K., I payed him for it. Keoki was so revolutionary in the mid-90's that this album still holds it's own to this day. Definately worth it if you can still get it.

I didn't stay with Keoki for long, though. I bought his Disco Death Race album and it stunk (so bad I chucked it out my car window before I made it home). I followed it up with Jelousy and, with the exception of track 6, it wasn't up to par with JDJ. I'll bet there's another album of JDJ's caliber out there, but it had better be good if i'm going to plunk down any more change. Littering tickets are expensive.

This mix starts off pumping and hardly lets up. It starts off with the cool "Violet Skies" sample over the top of the beautifully strange Whaler by Omicron, mixing into the perfectly sublime Garden Of Peace by Power Circle. Keoki then picks the tempo up with a strange but not too disconcerting mix into the exotic Technoriental by Momentum. He then mantains the pace with tunes such as Pete Lazonby's classic Sacred Cycles (one of my all time favourites), and Shi-take's Don't Look Back In Anger. The tempo is then gradually taken right down while Keoki plays a few more trancey tunes, including the dream-like Colonisation Of Space by E-Reaction. He then kicks in again with some more house-like tunes like the funky Keep On Truckin' by the Mighty Dub Kats (good ol' Norman Cook), the uplifting The Spirit by Spirit, and Digger's african-inspired Soweto. Whilst the mixing isn't as smooth as some of the other JDJ mixes, including some abrupt changes between tunes, and the tempo changes are a bit strange, it all seems to work. A good mix that covers a lot of ground, while keeping it all interesting.

Nobody can mix like this "techno god." He is amazing. He brings the same energy to this mix cd as he does to the dancefloor. He brings you up and down, as only he can do! When you listen to this cd, you are brought to his world where he is the "Pied Piper," and he leads you to ecstacy. Songs 1, 4, 5, and 9 rock. I have had this cd for 5 or 6 years, and I still can't get enough of it. I have everything that he has recorded, and this is definetly on top of the list!

I like good dance and trance, and this isn't it. Bumpy jabber-overlaid schlock is being resold as I type.

good, but needed some of his own stuff on it not just his mixes
