Forget the title track. What makes this release something to remember is the B-side. A floaty, dreamy melody and some nice slow beats make up for some really sweet chill music. Even if it was released in 1991, it still feels fresh enough to be played today. Play this one on a warm summer evening and you'll see what I mean.

A FIVE ALL THE WAY! As stated in my comments for Orb In Dub, I did not enjoy this track when it was released. It was beyond me at the time. While now, I find that the track was WAY ahead of it's time. Reggae-house-pop. All four versions here are different enough to warrant listening to them straight through. In fact, the way the tracks are sequnced makes it feel very much like the track is being broken down more and more with each mix. Ending this release is, in my opinion, the best version of Star6&789 released anywhere. Add the January Mix 3 from Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions and you have a complete breakdown of this song. Deep.

Note #1: Several versions of this song contain real vocals (ya know, like, singing). If this isn't your thing, stay away.

Note #2: I have this on a cassette (long ago converted to MP3). Both side contain all five songs.
