UTE guys are simply not from this world. I didn't hear a bad or mediocre release yet. They were a constant light in my darkest hour and encouraged me to put my life's purpose at the service of music. <3

All year they deliver. I wonder why do they not release on their own label?

After more listens I will have to agree with Daysleeper, the musical content is pretty unmemorable and unremarkable. It's a shame because the sound design really is top quality, and the styles on offer are some of the best I have heard all year. Even if it does deliberately try and go more minimal I am still wanting a bit more balls or groove to elevate things.

It's still a release I will enjoy though. I like they are using vocals and vocal samples. Alvar - Ego Døden På Oslo S (Vocal Dub) and Bönna - Sacred Soul (Pheonix Rebirth Mix) standout to me the most. The first one is probably the most interesting musically out of the bunch, and the latter has the hints of early 2006/7 trance-prog sound that is one of my favorites (think Interstate - I found You).

Hope for more of this kind of sound from the UTE boys!
