5 out of 5 stars Best Album Ever.......2005-09-13

I have about 200 CDs in my possession and have listened to countless others, and this one, hands down is the greatest album I have ever heard. It flows so well and covers every emotion. I aboslutely love it and there is no limit to the praise I give this.

Listen to this album.

5 out of 5 stars Forgotten, but still great.......2002-11-24

Apollo four forty got my attention after the exelent track "Ain't Talkin''Bout Dub" which is a awesome dance track with some awesome samples from Van Halen. Really that kind of song that makes you feel in a good mood. They are a british dance group, i would say a new-wave dance group, cause they aren't afraid tom mix genres and add cool samples with their music. After hearing "Dub" i decided to take a look at the whole album. Their second single "Raw power" had a cool sound too, but was far from as good as the first one, but could there perhaps be others that was?. "Altamont Super-Highway Revisited" Drum and beats songs that somehow reminded me of Kraftwerk. "Electro Glide In Blue" The title track is slower but it got a nice sound, that kept me interested. "Vanishing Point" is powerful. Some slow beats and someone screaming of joy. It somehow gives me a picture, I can imagine how the video would look like only by hearing it and that what's so good with music sometimes. "Krupa" which got the name after a band member, is one of many highlights of this album. Also a Drum and beat song with some cool glad catchy sample's. "Pain In Any Language" could have been the beginning of a rock ballad. I have relized that this album is a million times better then i though. THey never got that much attention and you heard mor of the single's then the album itself. But in the other hadn this is no commercial stuff. If you like electronica music then you're gonna love this weither it sells a million copies or not. I just feel that they never got the same status as Basement Jaxx and the Chemical Brothers eventhough this album is on par with their best. Go and get it to find out yourself!

Wow. Still sound good after all this years.

2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.......2001-06-07

I heard "Stop the Rock" on the radio, and thought it had potential. I was going to buy the album it is on. Then I read all the Amazon reviews which said that "Electro Glide in Blue" was the best Apollo 440 CD. Well if that's the case, I can't imagine how terrible "Getting High On Your Own Supply" must be.

I strongly recommend against buying this CD. It's not good. It's not even OK. There are no redeeming songs. There's nothing but mundane, trite and overdone beats. The lyrics are dumb and senseless, but not "good" dumb and senseless. The samples are repeated so much that one wonders if there's anything else to the songs.

All in all it's terrible.

The CD was a waste of $... and 1 hour of my life.

I've never reviewed anything here (or elsewhere for that matter) before, but I felt this was worth saving someone else from.

5 out of 5 stars Sampled Originality.......2001-03-01

So many great tunes here. And such diversity. I love the pure techno of Altamont Super-Highway. The comic Tears of the Gods and White Man's Throat. Superb use of samples. All of this is masterly constructed, layered and absolutely timeless. The title track is an amazing epic with a huge amount of feeling in the vocals. 8 minutes of genius. The album ends with Stealth Mass in F#m which is mana from heaven if ever I've heard it... The whole lot conjures up such a wide range of imagery and emotion you'll be hard pushed to find anything like it.
