Review by eiko Jan 28, 2009
This is one of THE GREAT goa trance albums as far as I'm concerned.

It's the first of it's kind. There's nothing "unoriginal" here. Even though there have been hundreds of dark psytrance albums that followed it, this one is still one of the best I've ever heard. It's got a lot of depth and dark melodies and rhythms all over the place -- it isn't just hard and noisy sounding like lots of more recent stuff. That's basically why it's classified as "goa trance" rather than "psytrance". There's something unique about every track and they are all excellent on their own. Furthermore they flow together perfectly to create a really strong experience as a whole.

As someone else said, it's dark the whole way through. There is nothing cheery or cheesy here. It's not overly emotional, but it's highly intelligent and powerful.

The best tracks are actually all of them. When I first heard this album I only really liked Master Of The Universe, which is generally regarded as the hit track, but all the others have grown on me through many listens. The opening and closing sections are ambient and Chrysalis is a downtempo track which has a special place with me. It's really a beautiful experience.
Rated 5/5

The Master of the Universe track has a structure you will not find elsewhere. Quality 100%, this track is really psychedelic. UX have done a great work, this release is one of the strongest aces of Goatrance. Buy it, it's a classic.
Well compiled, it's hard Goatrance sound is an example for future/nowadays Goatrance releases. Pure intellect is so powerfull and Dominion so trippy. A masterpiece.

1997 was the home for the best psychedelic-goa trance albums ever, and Ultimate Experience is one in this list.

UX was a one time collaboration between Pete Martin (Slide) and Kris Kylven (also ex Juno Reactor) Their album Ultimate Experience is one of the most evil and dark trance albums to have graced planet Earth. It’s a wild trip into the darkest realms of goa-trance, a trip spiced with guitar riffs, fat banging bass, alien and screaming sounds and also minute ambience which totally give the feeling of having been abducted and taken to a journey in outer-space. Absolutely one of the full-on-est albums ever and it sticks to the “dark” formula all through. Totally unique and un-paralleled alien sound.

Highlights of the albums are Life Support Technology, Dominion, Alien Earth Activity, Pure Intellect and Master of the Universe.

UX is a masterpiece which doesn’t get all the attention it deserves. While on everyone’s top is probably the Pleiadians’ I.F.O. released a little after on the same Dragonfly I think UX is an album which haven’t had enough mentioning. It’s also not difficult to get and can be found at relatively low prices compared to other sought albums of the time, so if you don’t have I strongly suggest to start hunting for a copy now.
