This review is from: Star Climber 27 Final (Audio CD)

To me this CD always had such an "organic" feel to it. Maybe it's the way the first track "The Beginning" starts off with a vibe that makes you feel like you're in a jungle.

"The Beginning" is a breaky housey track with trippy forest elements. Next is "U.F.O." or "Ultra Frequency Oscillator". Split across 2 tracks on the CD, it's 12 minutes sonic goodness of unrelenting bass. This has become my favorite track of all time, such a beautiful chillout gem. On "Fire Pusher" you get a bit of experimental beatless ambient sonic soundscape. The next track "Love" saw itself a vinyl release with a few remixes. This could be described as chilled breaks/breakbeat. Swirly & drifting, and the female vocal seduces you in with her saying "Don't you want my love?". My second track off this CD. "Medicine" pumps things with some hard tribal(ish) electro techno. This track could fit into an acid house set easily. A fun track. "Journey" picks things up even more. Realllly DEEP tribal acid vibes here! Hell yeah! My third favorite track on the CD. The next track "T.O.P. (Trippin On Philosophy)" saw its way to vinyl too. This one is weird & trippy spacey acid house. Next you have "Sounds Of Silence Part 1 & 2". Two tracks, one mintues of silence each. "The 3rd Vision" is like darker & slower evil twin of "U.F.O." but beatless. Strange swirly soundscapes fill your world for 13.5 mintues. Finally you have the "Star Climber 27. Theme". It a slowly evolving series of tones that take over 12 tracks yet are under a minute each but all connected.....yeah. While there are only 11 actual tracks (as per tracklist), there are 27 tracked on the CD.

I've had to buy this CD three times due it getting stolen. Yup, it's that good.
