5 out of 5 stars Artifact from an early 90's Chill Out room..........2003-12-24

I own a vinyl release and believe it was originally distributed on Rough Trade. The album is based on an imaginary canoe trip across America. It was one of my first chill out/ambient house records.
The best tracks are British Summertime and Saratoga.
Saratoga contains the sampled bassline from the Eagle's One of These Nights. The other tracks are all pleasant and light hearted electronic songs that will make you feel good.

Ultramarine's other albums are also good but do not sound alike. The styles of their follow albums range from folk/acid to trip hop.

Other records I felt went hand in hand with this release were The Orb's Blue Room 12" and UFOrb, KLF's Chill Out, and Higher Intelligence Agency's Colourform.

5 out of 5 stars Wrong rating :/.......2001-12-08

Sorry for the rating in my review from Madrid: I meant it was a masterpiece, a classic, a 5 star record :)

5 out of 5 stars Underrated classic of an underrated group.......2001-12-06

In fact, this Ultramarine's album is considered as a classic of the gentle techno; it is similar to orb's or other ambient groups in the early 90's, but their songs here are optimistic and vital, they seem to talk about nature and joy of life.

What I don't like is that most of the critics consider the later work as dissapointing: "united kingdoms" is a nice folk/electronica album with great vocals by Robert Wyatt, "Bel Air" (my favourite) is weird unique mixing of jazz and electronic sounds, bossanova and beeps, whose only flaws are sometimes when they approach trip-hop; "A users guide" is their amazing work in 1999, with a sound that you hardly have heard before, disonant but gentle. So check this group if you haven't do it before.

5 out of 5 stars an absolute ambient classic..........2001-11-07

...up there with anything from Future Sound of London and the first 2-3 Orb lps. So underrated next to those guys. Still a favourite after all these years and a must-have. Better than most anything new. Melodic and beautiful, love it all the way through... great to chill to. Fave trax include Saratoga and British Summertime. Pity about the rest of their career, though. But this one NOW.

5 out of 5 stars Very soft and rythmic, very nice........1999-08-20

My friend said that this song FELT fantastic as he tripped on his porch

4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

    Album Description

    A warmly melodic album of home-listening electronica produced just before the term was coined (originally released in 1992), Every Man & Woman Is A Star is a delightful concept album with dub-centric rhythms and a straight-ahead song structure. The album

    Album Details

    The Album Offers a Mesh of Acoustic Textures Underpinned by a Sometimes Dubby, Sometimes Upfront Beat. It's a Lavish Mix of Light Yet Infectious Rhyhtms and Mellow Vibes, Recalling Lazy Afternoons and Bright Summer Seascapes. Largely Instrumental, the Album also features Lyric Snatches from Kevin Ayers and Robert Wyatt.

    5 out of 5 stars The quintessential ambient-folk/electronica album.......2002-12-23

    This is the album that so many artists like Zero 7 and Groove Armada have been trying to make, but failed. Back in 1992, Ultramarine produced and released this warm, lush mix of bristling percussion, atmospheric keyboard washes, chiming acidic melodies and folk-ish guitars to an unprepared public. What happened next was a multitude of acclaim for these two gifted producers, with praise from all corners of electronica to folk. Robert Wyatt was a fan and a contributor on later albums.

    Sadly the duo never seemed to recover from the huge plaudits they got for this album, their later albums being less than what was expected.

    So this album must be something else, right? Well, I won't disappoint, it is. It's ambient music that you can listen to, relax to and actually have a bit of a groove to. A rare album indeed! It's one of those albums that so many have found influence from, launched their careers trying to emulate it and only succeeded in imitating it. It's a special album, one that I doubt will ever be bettered for a good time to come, if at all.

    It starts with a relaxing backbeat and percussive track which helps gets you initiated with the Ultramarine sound. Then it's into the Echo and the Bunnymen sampling 'Weird Gear', which is a real treat. Subsequent tracks are all winners, with the delightful 'Stella' a real standout song. Following that is 'British Summertime' both evocative and a beautiful track to listen to. It's a song which brings you back to those warmer summers and incorporated into it is a beautiful rave-type synth backdrop, making for more memories. Imagine a less complicated Boards of Canada.

    I found the songs 'Saratoga' and 'Lights in my Brain' the only disappointments, but maybe that's just me, some of you may like them! In between them is the Ska-styled 'Geezer', an intensely groovy workout!

    This has been deleted for years, for some reason, and it took the great LTM label (Darla in the US) to re-issue this classic treasure. Get it now while you can, at a great price too.
