It sounded okay and when this sparkling new \u201cU-World\u201d  disc hit the review \u201cdo-you-wanna?\u201d list I jumped at the chance to hear  a full release from this talented duo. Karl Hyde and Rick Smith  connected with a bevy of producers to create this, only their sixth  album in their thirty-year existence. And at first listen it sounds  pretty much like a techno album should. Most every track strikes a  groove early on and fans of the genre will respect the urgent  boom-thuwap as being as authentic as it gets. The trouble is, techno is  an extremely limited style and if you don\u2019t have a dance club and a  wigful of ecstasy outside your back door then the tunes here do  definitely become a little boring. There are a couple of tracks (song  names are irrelevant for this music, really) that edge into a  beatcentric, Pink Floyd-y vibe but so many as that one would notice the  advance or even pay extra attention to what comes after them. Search  this out if you were ever a fan. If not, swerve to the left and move on.
