3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not better, May 9, 2000

I bought this CD on a whim b/c it was re-released (previously an import only) and I thought it would be just as good as Vertigo. I mistakenly thought it was a new release...hahaha. Anyway the tracks are similar with that mellow groove going on, but it's just not as polished as Vertigo. If you're dying to hear more from this duo then get it, just don't expect it to be at the same level as Vertigo....which I own and love =)

4.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to any "groove based" library, December 25, 2002

I'm not quite sure why there are the low reviews for this CD. It's a great mix. Tracks like "Dan-Solo" will keep your head bobbing while "Entrance to Zanibar" is a totally new experience. Granted, the disc doesn't have the stand out singles that brought Vertigo (with "I see you Baby" and "At The River") and Goodbye Country.... (with "Superstylin" etc.) out into the public view, but it still has enough groove, style and intricacy to earn it a spot in your repeated listening rotation. If you're looking for fast paced "club" style beats, this isn't your CD. But if you are a TRUE fan of Groove Armada and their ambient techno/chilled beats then this CD is definately worthy of your money. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars groove armada northern star, January 16, 2001

This review is from: Northern Star (Audio CD)

groove armada totally set me reeling with the opening track of "vertigo" (their 2nd ,and to my mind far superior release].This is "nice" chill music,but in terms of longlasting "I will still love this release in 10 years" appeal it does not get this stamp.As they say in showbiz "Nice ,but no cigar". Try the excellent D Note or purchase their classic Vertigo instead
