Ultrabeat's third release is quite good. It's production values are much higher than the debut "Trip To A Planet Called Heaven", and the lyrics and melodies seem a bit stronger than his stellar sophomore release, "Beyond The Stars". It's nice to know that quality Christian techno is possible with the right talent. However, there were a few weakpoints on this album. While most of the lyrics are stronger than before, some are still a little too simple, and the song "Going To The Danceparty" came off pretty cheesy, I thought. And, as already mentioned, the album does seem a bit too short. But with those minor gripes, this is a quality dance release and one to be enjoyed.

When I first heard about this release in 2003, I balked at purchasing it because I heard that it was more of a dance/pop CD. One day, I heard the song, "Time is on my side", on a compilation CD that a friend of mine had, and when I found out that it was Ultrabeat, I made up my mind that I would get the album, and I must say that I'm glad I did. The music, as usual, is top-notch, but what impressed me more is the heartfelt, genuine lyrics that relay love and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. The song, "I need you", has become my new personal theme song. I would have given this CD a 5/5 if it had more songs of similiar quality, but at 41 minutes, I felt that it was too short. Nevertheless, it does not change the fact that this CD is superb and highly recommended.

This cd does that for me, its not always that you're able to find a CD that you can listen to from start to finish. But "Shine Through My Life" is one of them. All ten of the songs on this disc are worth listening to. Some of my favorite tracks are:

Going to the Danceparty
For You Forever
All I Have Is You
I Need You

But like i said if you are a fan of Ultrabeat already then you should check this out. Even if your not it soooo much energy and a vibe that will keep you going for some time.
