5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, coherient, uplifting and unified, October 18, 2001

The deep emotional appeal of Sunscreem's O3 is somewhat difficult to describe. My older sister had this album on cassette when I was in high school and I happened to listen to it once, then countless times over the next few months. When she left for college I forgot about it. That was until two days ago (8 years later) when I was extremely drained emotionally due to some recent events in my life. I suddenly found myself with some of the melodies and started searching for source. Yesterday I found it (thanks to the sample files here).

Its overall genre is electronica (house/trance) but I've never heard anything like it before or since. This album carried me through some difficult times and can truly be an escape from the life you know or simply an adventure for your senses. The album is seamless - great to work to, read to, or just relax with. I can't think of another album I could recommend more if anything in your life is currently straining your emotions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Album, February 3, 2002

The synth-pop hit "Love U More" got me hooked enough to buy the album in 1993 not too long after it came out. Naturally, I expected a typical pop album: The song I liked, plus maybe one or two more decent songs and a lot of filler. What I got was a complete album, beginning-to-end. It's one of those rare gems you can stick in the player, listen for an hour, and not feel the need to fast-forward anywhere. I don't even know the names of my most favorite songs, since I never skip around to get to them -- I just listen. It's got a nice mix that flows evenly from trance to pop to dance and back, and yet it keeps a contiguous, unified feeling that never grates on you the way pop albums so often do. Today, almost 9 years later, it's still one of my favorite albums as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trance-sendingly Powerful, September 23, 2004

I actually saw this band in concert in Seattle (must have been '93-ish). I didn't expect anything: Some no-name band playing techno-house (live? Yes, Live) in a dingey, grungy back-alley type bar... I only went 'cuz I was dragged by a friend to go... :-p

Man - they were amazing! I bought the CD, Album & took one of the posters from the concert - - it hung on my wall for the next few years (man - wish I still had that).

One thing about this CD that I LOVE is all the songs blend together. In my younger dayz (did I say that?) I would beat-match and mix music, and I must say, this album got some plenty fine playtime... I recently came across the CD (all I have left) when I bought my iPod. Sure is great to listen to this again!

If you like Rave/Techno/Electronica/Dance/Trance music, BUY THIS! you won't be disappointed!
