4.0 out of 5 stars There is no such thing as "dated" music, April 25, 2002

As many have said already, in terms of style this CD is all over the place. Many different types of styles, mostly sampled in LoFi. While I do agree that this CD's sampling/production style seems the same as Utah Saints' first Album in 92', I simply don't see how can that be "dated". Music is like art, it really shouldn't be "dated" unless the listener judges music by current music trends. Just because Dream Trance (Robert Miles type) came and gone, followed by Anthem Trance (System F), followed by progressive trance, house, and progressive house, does not mean that any of these types of music somehow lack quality because clubs don't play them anymore.

Back to the Two album, my favorite song on the CD is Lost Vagueness, followed by Massive. Both of these songs are very moody and have a slower tempo but they are powerful pieces. Power to the Beats has a very catchy beat, yet somehow I feel like this song is made to be put into a videogame. Morning Sun does sound like something from Underworld with the continuous synths, a great song. The rest of the songs on this CD are not bad either, but they don't stand out as much as the songs I mentioned.

Overall I would say that if you still listen to the first Utah Saints album from time to time, you will definitely like this Album. If you are into techno you will certainly like some of the songs here. If you are into what is hot in the dance scene today, you probably will be disappointed in this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first, but still good!, October 16, 2001

I was rather impressed with the changes from the Utah Saints over the almost 10 year span from the first CD release. The music
has a much more "techno" type feel, but is mixed well, and you can tell alot of work was put into the album. The album is a great addition to any techno music fan's collection!

I thought Utah Saints were a one-hit wonder when they had the single years ago, but this album is outstanding. The first half-dozen tracks unleash the bigbeats with a joy I find reminiscent of the Chemical Brothers Surrender. Mixing tribal throat-warbling, Chuck D, and spoken film-esque dialog, the album ranges in style and quiets down a bit in the latter half, which is fine.

All in all, a very surprising and powerful disc.
