What is Bass 305’s best album?

At the start, Bass 305 albums were getting better and better. Digital Bass, Bass [ The Future ] and Virtual Bass marked a steady progression. The following Departure is decent, but the quality of their music took a deep dive from there.

Virtual Bass includes their best song; Does Life Exist On This Planet; along with other fantastical space trips. Digital Dreams is sublime. The album certainly has its flaws; namely Mix Master and all the interludes; but it’s the best they’ve ever made.

my vote : Virtual Bass

audio review : Outer World ( song ) … Bass 305

The best part of this song is the breakdown near the middle when the drums stop to make way for what sounds like the harps of Heaven. “It creates an atmosphere,” a man says and what a peaceful atmosphere it is. It “might be dangerous”, but the music gives a sense, even if a false sense, of security.

The secret explorer concept seems to revolve around Outer space; a frequent hangout spot for Bass 305 when they’re not rattling car trunks here on Earth; but the aforementioned harp loop should’ve been expanded well beyond a mere eight bars. As is, the song ends up being rather anticlimactic.

The album title comes into play during A Trip To The Moon; the melodic chorus section of which is indeed Hypnotic. No other song matches its wonderment, though the set, which also travels Earthly places like Florida and Germany, is sufficient for what it is; techno music for Bassheads.
