Andy Hunter--leading the way for Christian Techno music | Posted July-27-2007
Andy Hunter released Life in May, 2005 already built on Hunter's success from Exodus and his music's appearance in several blockbuster movies including the Matrix Reloaded along with several video games.
Although it is listed as an album, many consider it to be an EP as it is only six songs. However, Hunter weaves these songs together as one mix allowing individual songs to stand alone or to play together. Most songs are high energy and the first track, Open my Eyes sets the tone for the entire album.
Hunter expertly mixes raw sounds, instruments, and the human voice to form an extremely complex network of music that at times delights, amazes, and energizes. It celebrates life and connects with the listener on that visceral level. Hunter's expert use of all types of sound put him above many in both the Christian and secular techno world today.

I don't give this album a great rating because it is a favorite--it is a favorite because it is so excellent. All Star United's trademark style is evident throughout and their humor in many of their songs will have you laughing at their artful lampoonery of American Society. One such example is from "Popular Americans" where they describe our american culture as being larger than life and without concern for others. Some favorite lines include "we come to pledge allegiance/at the altar of convenience/in our wide leg, baggy jeans" and "Our money says we trust/But you know it's only just/A party slogan we were taught to say"
Other favorite songs from the album include "Theme from Summer," "Hurricane Baby," and "Baby Come Back."
