Under the cheesy cover...

"With all due respect to Bidiol (the cover artist), the exterior of this album isn't going to win any awards. However, what lies within is a superb piece of ambient techno-trance. You may have heard the highly danceable "Hale Bopp" on other compilations. Forget compilations; "Spaceglider" is a prime example of why original artists' releases are nearly always better. Andreas Krueger starts out with a delectably simply rhythm and overlays it with complex light electronica that will have you floating seamlessly from "Schwerelos" onward. "Polarstern" picks up the energy and introduces a bit of a darker groove, which hardens and flawlessly blends into the heavier, deeper beat of "Lava". These tracks alone may pale the flagship single "Hale Bopp", but all of them count towards the five-star rating of this album. Krueger's mixing is so damn near perfect that you almost start picking on the insignifica - "Couldn't you have made it any harder? Throw in a house beat? How about another bassline?" The answer is probably yes, but it wouldn't have been "Spaceglider". You'll love it for what it is."

Open your ears and enjoy!

"OK, I will admit that I am not that thrilled with the first two of songs on this cd; but, I find the majority of the tracks on this cd to be exceptionally fantastic. The wonderful sounds of Polarstern, Lava, Hale Bopp, and Zwischenwelt will totally carry you away. The music is complex, intelligent and diverse."

"Big phat techno beats with great climbing energy and this without sacrficing a intellegent complex undercurrent. Hard to find techno this good."
