Beyond the Stars Artist: Ultrabeat Label: BEC Time: 15 Tracks/ Ultrabeat's Erik Augustsson certainly has a gift. He wrote, performed, produced and mixed all the tracks on his sophomore release, Beyond the Stars. The entire album blends house, techno and dance music beautifully, creating a sound that feels more alive and energetic than the one found on his previous release. It is split into two parts, the first nine tracks are actual songs with words, while the remaining six tracks are instrumentals. The separate sections are titled "Spacepop 2001" and "Dreamplanet," describing the feel of the grouping of songs perfectly. The music and lyrics on Beyond the Stars are sometimes mysterious and sometimes very simple. One song that stands out is "Jesusrave," a song that could definitely be played in a dance club. The track is easy to follow with its steady beat and pulsing lyrics: rave, rave to the beatThe album is definitely a leap from Ultrabeat's debut, as it sounds like it was worked on harder and more thought was put into the music and lyrics. Any fan of dance/electronic music will enjoy the album and dance-club atmosphere it can create. Chelsea Lewis ) 3/17/2001
