Very nice sound, very good rhythms, but overall not very satisfying - rather too Germanic (trance-)techno in fact. I like "Radio SPACE" and of course our mantra "Online Information", also track 8, "Astral Voyage" and "Stardiver" - a real thumper of a track - overall however it all sounds just too much alike. And I was really looking forward to this one. Anyone know how it compares with Boris Blenn's "Paradise Connection"?

I've looked everywhere for the track 'Radio S.P.A.C.E.', because of it's wonderful rhytmic construction, but when I found it on this CD, I was dissapointed, why didn't Spirit Zone put this track on the 12"? I won't buy this CD for just ONE track!

What's everybody talking anout? What breaks, what
rhythms? Please! I've only heard Stardiver, Online
Information, and Radio S.P.A.C.E. and they are the
epitome of uncreative, overrated, boring Goa that's going to kill scene if people become so easily satisfied with it.

it's alot more breakbeat than what i expected after hearin onlin information, but to dismiss the album as a whole is a little premature. think back to 'made on earth' by blue room. first time you heard that don't tell me you weren't slightly dissapointed, but hear it a few more times and you can begin to respect where the tracks are taking you. same with this album. not aal the tracks are good, my favorites are 3,4,5,9,10,11

PERFECT !!!
Nothing more to say...
Breaks & Acid killers ... with wonderful melodies ...
Boris is my favorite producer in the Psychedelic scene all over the world ...
The only disadvantage is that the cd is some kind of mixed ...
Please not more mixed cd's !!!
Enjoy the silence gap ... !

A good release but not great like D-5 or the others. it does become monotonous after a bit. It really has little sense of adventure. True it has melody, the beats, great production but something is missing.What? I just could not appreciate this enough.

To break the trend, I will now say this is a great piece of trance-work.
I don't know what all of you has against this, but I sure do like it a LOT.
OK, it's much of the same thing, but if you like one part, then you like the rest. I think it's one of the best releases recently.

Sounded much better when heard as a whole but still disappointing. Innovative, but the ideas aren't complete. I still don't "hear" what the big deal is about. Skip this one.

My opinion...StarDiver a Brilliant Sound! This is my favorite Artist CD for 1997. every track is well thought out and put together. For those who "don't get it" should listen to it again! Full on energy trance! Guaranteed to light up a party!

An excellent job overall. A great CD. To me, it's a must buy. In fact, I love every track. Honest, every track! But if I had to pick one best track, "Sunset Skyline". Wow..... drug for my tympanic membrane...the incus...the malleous...the stapes....

My opinion...One of the most wicked Goa albums ever made, loved every track as it takes you on a cosmic journey into space, repetitive it may be in parts but boy
does it blow your socks off!!!

Well division of opinions HUH?!? I am voting for this CD. Maybe because I got it in 1/99 and I am feeling a little melancolic about the good old times. But, I think this CD is full on Electric universe Style. Same concept as their latest release Waves... breaks and percusion drive the music hidden behind the four by four and the baseline. The only clear difference between the two releases is the melodies, which dissapeared in Waves. I personally like from the heart and luna overdrive, maybe because I come from a germanic taste of trance (Noom, time unlimites, Now!, No Respect...) This CD is more for the lovers of classic trance, than the full on psy heads.

Stardiver has some really good tracks, but i must agree with some of the above, that the tracks sound too much alike. Still, there are a few great tunes on there!
