 Don't miss out on some good tunes! September 16, 2004
Faith in the Future may not be a perfect album from start to finish, but there are some fresh and solid tracks on it that are not to be missed.
BOUNCE and RHYTHM DEVICE have the fat, buzzy sound of Uberzone's earlier EPs, but are completely new compositions that revitalize the Uberzone sound (much needed after the umpteenth remix of Freaks). And DREAMTIME will surprise you with a clean and beautiful blend of Lida's vocals and Q's crisp instrumentals.
Heck, get it used if you have to- plenty of fickle folk out there are turning around their copies at way below its true value. Have some faith in the future, and look forward to more original tracks from Uberzone, not just endless collaborations and remixes.
 Guest appearances galore...nu skool breaks is here August 28, 2002
After releasing many EP's on Astralwerks, we finally see a domestic release of a full-length album by Uberzone. Uberzone first made a name for themselves with the success of their single "The Freaks" back in 1998. The success of the track led to anticipation of an album, that has finally now arrived. Surprisingly, there are many guest appearances on this record by Beenie Man, Rennie Pilgrem, Afrika Bambaataa, Ken Jordan of The Crystal Method, and more. Most of the tracks on this album follow the same format as their older work; breaks with big beat and tribal house influence. Black Widow, the track that features Rennie Pilgrem was the most impressive in my mind (I played it 5 times before I went on to the next track). The amazing thing about Uberzone is that many of their tracks they released back in the late 90's still get played by breakbeat DJ's today. Their vision of how the music was going to sound in the future was brilliant (hence the title of the album, hint hint). Each track on this album delivers great intensity, and brilliant production....
 Good thing I bought it on sale June 27, 2002

I bought this CD b/c of "Bounce" and nothing's changed.
I was really disappointed with FITF b/c it's not my type.
Other than boring beats and climaxes that are waiting to happen,
but dont; FITF just isn't fit for me.
I'll take Euro-house anyday.
A little disappointed, but still quality work May 6, 2002

If you have seen Uberzone live then you know that he is purely sensational. And if you know Uberzone, you know that all his previous singles have been dope. I guess that's why I was a little disappointed. This album is very good, but I expected it to be classic material, which it is not. If you are considering buying this album, and you are not familiar with Uberzone, you should understand that he specializes in ultra crisp, clean, science fiction like breaks. He is probably a bit of a science fiction nut or something....I don't know for sure but that's how his music sounds. But Uberzone always represents super quality production. He has skills for sure. The quality of the tracks is up to the brim......quality noises, sounds, samples, composure. See, I believe that when he created this album he created it EXACTLY the way he wanted it to sound. You just have to step off in his mind to appreciate where he is coming from.............

i love uberzone. i have seen them play live a number of times and i've been blown away. i have a number of their singles which are fantastic and for these reasons i don't understand why this album is SO bafflingly LOUSY. I plan to give it a few more listens, but as of now, i plan to sell it.
