5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful., October 6, 2000

By	Hiroo Yamagata (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Way Out West (Audio CD)

This album is actually tiled "Blue", which is the first track in the album. It had a beautiful video clip with it, starring Harry Dean Stanton in a minor role. I got it in Berlin, but never saw it in the US. The whole album starts rather melancholic, but then brightens up toward the end, and the whole thing is sort of techno dance type of music, but it has depth, even when it is up-tempo and bright. I can't really think of any other like this, but I highly reccoment it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar & timeless, April 11, 2001

By	vinnie97 "vinnie97" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Way Out West (Audio CD)

Way out West's eponymously titled debut album is an unsung gem of electronic dance music. Some of the tracks on this album date as far back as '94 ("Ajare"), but their timelessness shines through as they have aged well. Predominately a more sample-based and instrumental album, the majority of the tracks are introspective and require focused listening. Otherwise, one can miss the complexities lying underneath. That's not to say the album can't be enjoyed without taking notice of the said polymorphic layers. On the contraire, it can be enjoyed in almost any state of mind, as it has varying tempos and moods. It offers a hearty serving of trip hop, ambient, breakbeat, progressive house and trance, all served up on one delectable platter. Don't walk, run before it's too late and the last copy is sold. And look out for wow's new album forthcoming "Intensify" on Distinctive Records this summer (2001)!

5.0 out of 5 stars totally unique, July 4, 2001

this album is just worth getting for one song--The Gift. the album is great, don't get me wrong, but if youre reading this review its probably because you have heard of way out west before. youll get the original mix of The Gift in this c.d. a totally awesome song that mixes the beauty of the female vocals as well as the brightest and most energetic sounds that youve ever heard.
