Anoebis Posted March 22, 2000 Share Posted March 22, 2000 Electric Universe - Waves Artist: Electric Universe Title: Waves Label: Spirit Zone Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 06'21" Jungle Spirit 02. 07'41" Spectral Blue 03. 07'46" Bubbles 04. 08'40" Spiral Galaxy 05. 08'40" Saijen 06. 05'44" Flashback 07. 08'41" Freakquencies 08. 05'50" The Island 09. 07'04" Funtation Review: Really bad CD, only two good songs on it!! Flashback and Jungle Spirit!! He uses way too much breakbeats and lots of songs sound like Techno, and I don't like Techno... It's too boring!! Luckely the artwork is beautiful, but the CD isn't good at all!! Bom Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPosture Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 I bought this CD for one reason: The beautiful build-up and the amazing break in track 2 [spectral Blue]... That fucking rocks, but I hafta agree with Anoebis, that the albums isn't that great!! Jungle Spirit is OK, but kinda repetitive... Smart ass artwork! 4/10 (Spectral Blue build-up And break 9/10) Bom Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snow Dog Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 Dullsville. All the tracks sound the same, except for the last two, and the first four tracks are just not very good. It sounds like something Boris threw together while making his Galaxy album. Buy Blue Planet or Angel, don't bother with this. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Children Posted October 11, 2000 Share Posted October 11, 2000 Average Album ? in fact Tracks 1& particularly 2 are interesting, other Tracks are very average ? repetitive And not enough melodies ? the work in drums And bass is most of the time really good, but that?s not enough to make a good Track ? there?s much better Electric Universe stuff than this ?

Guest fheierli[at]mails[dot]ch Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 With waves beginns the time where the albums of BB becomes bad. After the two great albums "One Love" and "Stardiver", the albums are more Ibiza-Trance or Techno. I don't say that Waves is a bad album, it have good tracks like Jungle Spirit, Spectral Blue or Spiral Galaxy, but the album is not so good how the older two. It have some disappointed tracks like Flashback, The Island and the ambient-piece Funtation. My favourite tracks are 1,2,3,4.

seraph Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Pretty poor release...Like you can't imagine that the same guy that made ELECTRONIC PULSATION, PORTAMENTO,PRANA, STARDIVER made this repetitive, boring try of d'n'b techno stylized trance... 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Philip Xmen Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I think it's a nice release from Boris Blenn, very fullon and nice sounds. Favorites are "Flashback" & "Freakquencies"! 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraph Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I feel bad now spitting on one of the greates masters in trance music for that louzy and a bit immaturish review I gave...But, that was after 1 -2 listens...Now, after i listened to it more i have to correct myself and say that is pretty cute and bouncey album...Yes, it is the poorest of all his albums but it is not repetitive and boring, same, it is not techno but more goes into real trance genre...there are 3 not so intersting tracks but the rest is good especially SPECTRAL BLUE, BUBBLES, SPIRAL GALAXY, SAIJEN, FLASHBACK...7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusSarcoffa Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Revisionist history time: this is a good release. With the exception of the obligatory chill/dub track at the end (The Island) this was aimed directly at the dancefloor circa 1998, and I'll bet it killed. With all the suntrippy goa-nostalgia swirling around psynews I can't believe this doesn't get a little more love. Electric Universe never broke any ground that I'm aware of but all the early albums are so well executed it's forgivable. It's just straight-up goa energy injected directly into your brainstem.
