Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The incessant flower-power idealism may be hard to take, especially from a duo calling themselves Sunshine and Moonbeam, but on their second album San Francisco's Dubtribe Sound System put an imaginative and infectious spin on the contemporary club soundtrack. Opening with the sound of disco strings, Latin rhythms, and deep, magnificently detailed electronic grooves, the duo mines a wealth of dance-floor styles for a seamless reaffirmation of the spirit and the mind. It's only when things get too preachy--as on the inimical "Holler!"--that the group sacrifices its positive vibrations. --Aidin Vaziri

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful music in the world, November 25, 1999

By	Jamieson Bruce (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews

The Dubtribe Soundsytem promote everything that is right in the electronic music scene. While so many others talk about "keeping it real" Sunshine and Moonbeam do more than talk, they create, they inspire, they put smiles on people's faces and love in their hearts. This is especially exemplified in the track entitled "Equitoreal" (truly the most beautiful song every created). The Dubtribe Soundsystem will one day unite the masses in a true "global village".

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid album!, February 21, 2000

By	TJ (Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a lovely creation of some truly beautiful tracks. A clever mix of latin, house, and some killer grooves. Put this one in your CD tray, dim the lights, and look out...it'll floor you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kicking GROOVES!, January 22, 2001

By	Miles (Mill Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

I am a DJ on the weekends (house, world beat, tribal...etc) and I gotta tellya, from the first beat to the last, this is ONE HOT disc! For me the best tracks are 1, 2, 3, 7,8, and 12! This disc is just jumpin with tribal beat, house, and a very very slick mix of everything in between. The tracks merge, there is no stopping point or a starting point for each track...it just all flows together in one very long trancendental groove trip. Don't mishear this review as, "Oh its just another trippy, over produced trance beat". Its not like that at all. I first heard this disc at DanceJam in Berkeley and it blew my socks off! Its now part of my stable of music to play for my grooves. Get it! Own it! Pull the shades down if you have to just so you can dance to this, you won't be sorry about buying this disc, at all!
