Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Signed to trendy dance label Deconstruction, Way Out West's self-titled debut showcases their talents as being one of the innovators of Ibiza style trance dance music. Composed principally of Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren (both influential DJs in their own right) and occasional guest artists, Way Out West emerged out of the trendy Bristol dance scene during the mid-1990s. Their distinctive sound meshes creative samples (including vocals, bird song and speech from films) with soft chords and a drum & bass backing track. However, their soundscapes are never cluttered, with samples and beats being introduced at equal regularity. The vocals on "The Gift" are truly angelic, and indeed most of the tracks are ideal for chilling out. --John Galilee

Absolutely Brilliant 4 July 2001

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

Well well well, having heard some of Way Out West's more recent stuff like UB Devoid, and the The Fall, I decided to splash out on this album. It was well worth it! I have been listening to it almost non-stop and there is 4/4 trancey tracks, vocal breakbeat, bassy monsters, downbeat chillout, a touch of dark stuff with the excellent track Drive By, and even some hiphop style beats. I would recommend this to anyone remotely interested in dance music because it is pure genius and the ambient, melodic and just downright beautiful wonders available here will leave you astounded and make you think why you didnt buy it before.

Catchy melodies and excellent production without the cheese. 21 Dec 2000

By Td Elliot

Format:Audio CD

Back in 1997, this was one of the first house/trance albums I bought and boy, did I get off on the right foot!

More a collection of singles than an album as such, Way Out West's first effort an absolute belter, packed to the gills with hooky melodies and body-bursting basslines that deliver time after time after time. Expertly produced to be heard on a decent hifi at high volume, this album illustrates that these guys know exactly what they're doing but it is in the melodies themselves that Jody and Nick really come into their own.

This album will appeal everyone because of the hooks, lyrics and the sheer energy that is imbued into every one of the tunes. You can sing along as well as dance to them!

Most people who are into techno/trance/house have this album. Forget the Eurocheese of the last two years - this is proper music.

In short, an essential purchase. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. If I had my way they'd be teaching this sort of stuff in schools. It makes you feel glad to be alive!

The ultimate in listening techno 3 April 2000

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

Six stars!

Progressive, ambient, downbeat, breakbeat... you name it, it's here, engineered for maximum listening pleasure. If you're a fan of late nineties electronica (BT, Tomski, Disco Citizens, Tilt, Blue Amazon, Chicane, Airscape et al), this album is a must-have. When it plops through your letterbox, like me you'll be annoyed that you hadn't had it sooner: tracks like 'Blue' have such breathtaking scope and *harmony* that they simply never get tiring.

Also check out Nick Warren's chill-tastic album, 'Back to Mine'.

Surprise Gift

I received this CD as a birthday present. I was a bit shocked at first since I'd never heard of Way Out West let alone knowingly heard any of their music. Read more
