Very Pleased

"This album is not "Faith in the Future" but it is not supposed to be. This album is an experiment in sound and is expressive and conveys a mood. It is not your usual break beat mix album but an original score, so if you want something with a fast beat or a mix of something you have heard before, then this one is not for you. This album tells a story in sound, it expresses a mood, what music is supposed to do. You loose yourself in it, I am very pleased."

Uberzone Is Back!!!

"Timothy Wiles is clearly back & blowing minds all over again. What a clear step up from UZ's first album "Faith In The Future". I wasn't a huge fan of "FITF" because I thought his sound was kinda commercialised with it, not that it was a bad album, it just had a different sound than I'd been so used to over the years. "Ideology" very clearly goes back to Uber's roots with the twitchy/glitchy, metalic/robotic, electric/analog sound he made so famous with his remixes of BT, Crystal Method & Keoki, + his own "Space Kadet" & "Freaks Believe In Beats" EPs (both phenomenal productions for those that haven't heard them, buy them if you can find them). In a time while all breaks producers seem to only crank out stale wannabe Hybrid & Plump DJ sounds, Wiles breaks (pun intended) the mold by giving us something both fresh & familiar. My favorite tracks on the album are "Vibrate" & "Satisfaction", but the entire album is awesome. Also, if you can find it, check out Hybrid's remix of "4 Bit" it's far past due the time that Truman & Wiles got together. Ignore the review saying "this album sounds nothing like Uberzone", this album absolutely spews everything that Uberzone has ever been & aside from a couple tracks there's nothing slow about the album. If you've ever been even slightly intersted in breakbeat much less an actual Uberzone fan, YOU MUST BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!"

MASTERPIECE IN MUSICOLOGY!!!!

""Q", who IS Uberzone, has created another masterpiece with "Ideology". He has shown us he had 'faith in the future' by evolving with this new album and taking it to the next level. Uberzone has ALWAYS had his own unique sound that separates him from the rest. Clearly a perfectionist who stands by the integrity of his music (yes, MUSIC, this man is a talented MUSICIAN, not sampler!) and doesn't just throw out sound on a production line to make a buck! This Breakbeat Master fine tunes every sound, taking you on a journey from start to finish. His musicality doesn't just shine on the dance floor either, it works EVERYWHERE! And seeing Uberzone live is a must! You're torn from the moment "Q" hits the stage on whether you should hit the floor or stand in awe watching him perform - he LIVES his music, bringing it to life before you with jaw dropping energy on LIVE percussion. Anyone who has seen Uberzone live knows what I'm talking about. I've been an Uberzone fan from the beginning and all I can say is... it just keeps getting better...WELL worth the wait!"

5 Stars All The Way!!

"This CD has been playing non-stop since I got it. I've been a huge Uberzone fan for years and was looking forward to this release for a long time. Once again, Uberzone delivers sick beats! BUT, this time he also gives you something unexpected (you'll see what I mean). If you like electronic music with phat basslines, trippy sounds and hooky melodies, then you have to get this album! It's not the typical dance album of 15 monotonic tracks...this is a proper album that takes you on a journey. It moves beyond breaks & is the best of the dance world! I've been to his shows before and these new tracks sound as good on my stereo as they do when he's tearing them up on stage.

YES!!"

The New Standard

"Have you ever bought music that you liked a lot, but somehow filed it away? The one day you pull it out, put on, and just get blown away. Admittedly, I did this with Ideology. What a disservice I have done. When I saw berzone was releasing a new album, I ordered it without question. I was moving into a new house, and even though I had this disc on constant play in my car, it was eventually just filed away into my music library.

Faith In The Future was okay by me, but not the true successor to the Space Cadet E.P. or The Freaks Believe In Beats. Ideology is! After sitting on the shelf all this time (nearly two years), I pulled it out and rocked the house!! I played it twice, then played all the other berzone releases available to me, and played it again. The beats are pretty standard if you've listen to a lot EDM and such, but the total groove has the gravity of a Black Hole (strange that there be a track so named) from which sound effects, melodies, and your rhythmically bobbing head cannot escape. By the time you get to Alphawave (track 7) you should be totally sucked in, forgetting about washed up UK Big Beat, the everybody's-doing-it Drum n' Bass, or another Hip Hop Johnny-come-lately. Appropriately, M87 mellows out like you're projected to a far away celestial body before being sucked back to your living room.

So thank you Q!!! It is not often someone can make music or a full-length album within the confines of a genre that runs the risk of becoming contrived or is regularly exploited for a commercial vehicle and still sound so fresh and interesting.
