Maximillian Lenz, a.k.a. Westbam, is such an important figure in the history of dance music--he's cofounder of Berlin's Love Parade, a 2 million strong party that's the biggest rave in the world; producer of "Alarm Clock," a track that inspired the early Chemical Brothers; and creator of "Sonic Empire," a hit that became the anthem of Germany's World Cup soccer team--that his near obscurity stateside makes clear how far behind the U.S. is on the dance-music tip. The American release of We'll Never Stop Living This Way offers the chance to remedy that situation. A perky sampling of the techno-electro style that's been his thing the past few years, this 12-track album harks back to the now quaint electro pioneered by his hero Afrika Bambaataa (who guest raps on "Agharta, the City of Shamballa") without ever reeking of the conservatory. What it does reek of is an unashamed pop sensibility--not moon/June/spoon, verse-chorus-verse, but titles like "Wanna Get My Smurf On" and a friendly, open-hearted way with chiming electronic textures. It's sort of like Trio's immortal "Da Da Da," but with breakbeats. Which is to say, the soundtrack to the greatest Volkswagon commercial you've never seen. --Jeff Salamon

4 out of 5 stars Exactly! "It Grows On You".......2003-03-08

Like Muzibacs stated in his review, it does grow on you.

I remember watching MTV one night. Beatbox Rocker came on. The video was simply awesome. Nothing really happened - it was just this guy walking around a party or something dressed up as a priest. It was just so simple that it was stylish, much like the song. I know Beatbox Rocker is repetetive, that's the point.

So, I went to Tower Records and bought the album. I liked Sonic Empire right off. The others were just alright. But slowly, I found myself listening to nearly all the songs and liking them. Were they repetitive? Yes, but so was Daft Punk's Homework album. Look how popular they are.

It is hard to explain just what exactly makes this album so great. It is sleek, it is sexy, and it takes time to cultivate. Give it a try.

Also, If you're a Run DMC fan, check out Hard Times.

4 out of 5 stars Enjoy the Love.......2002-11-02

Ignore some of the bad reviews given by orangeduke and elia. They are clueless.

Sometimes the greatest beauty can be found in simplicity. Although I enjoy complicated soundscapes, this CD is honest in its' beats. Most of all, it grows on you. I went from thinking it was an O.K. album the first time I heard it to now being amazed at it. Those are the best albums. The ones you enjoy better the 20th time you've played them. I admit, I could have easily put this CD away and just forgotten about it after I heard it the first time. Give it a chance.

1 out of 5 stars Iým A Beat Box Rocker And Let Me Repeat.......2002-07-31

And repeat and Repeat. This is electronica at it's worst. Droning, repetitive, pointless. Is it danceable? Maybe. Is it listenable? NO. Why do people buy this stuff?

3 out of 5 stars Essentially banal, yet surprisingly compelling........2001-01-11

I can't quite put my finger on what works about this cd; it doesn't break new musical ground; it is not even that interesting musically. Only a couple of tracks are inherently worthy.

It has energy -- good energy -- a good kick to it -- although if you track the lines of energy in your mind as it plays, if you let the sounds really pour into your conscious and alert mind it doesn't really go anywhere, this energy.

There are a few tracks with lyrics, and the lyrics are pretty tedious. You don't really want to listen to the lyrics. But who buys techno for life-altering poetry? No, it's not the words.

The Amazon reviewer notes the historical significance of this artist, and yet most of us don't buy music for its historical significance. The question is, what is it about this cd that is working for me now? Why do I keep listening to it?

Because I do. I turn to track #5, Sonic Empire, and the same old computer generated rhythms on truly mediocre techno albums suddely show their own intensity. #4, Hanging With The Machineheads, the sick twists and dissonances there and the slow evolution of the aural background hold my fascination.

But beyond these high points, there is also something essentially compelling about the mix of sounds, rhythms, the mix of tapestry and breakbeats that just works.

I can't honestly give it more than three stars because I just can't find a good reason to, but the fact of the matter is I listen to this a fair bit more than some of my four star possessions... make of that what you will.

1 out of 5 stars Do these people get paid to write reviews?.......2000-10-20

This CD was a complete waste of money. 80's sound with some elements of 90's dance music. It definitely does not make me want to get up and dance. Maybe I would 15 years ago. But not today. Music has progressed a lot more that what you hear on this CD.

3 out of 5 stars For Westbam this is Dissapointing.......1999-03-19

Let me begin by stating that I own all of Westbam's full length works (and many of his singles) and I can honestly state that, compared to his previous albums, this CD is dissapointing. The sounds are generic, simple and uninspired; at no point will this CD grab you and make your feet fly. This is not 'A Practising Maniac at Work'. Here's hoping Wetbam will 'Stop Living This Way', and start thinking about the music instead of fitting into the scene. He used to be an innovator.

5 out of 5 stars Good beat and cool samples makes it delicious !.......1998-10-28

I borrowed this album from my friend. When I`ve put this CD into player I said: WOOOOW ! What a music stuff! A lot of different samples, non popular beat-line, etc. I can talk about it in superlatives only. Anyway I don`t want to see Westbam as a pop music star, he should be an underground star.

4 out of 5 stars news from berlin's techno legend.......1998-08-27

can only be rated four star due to high price and a few too many gimmicks. features a couple of westbam's bigger hits of the last year, for example the 97 mayday anthem "sonic empire" and the 97 love parade song. all in all quite groovy,less hard techno as a few years ago. still a good buy, give it a try.
