Incredible Sound
When thinking about this album, the word "ethereal" comes to mind.The sound is otherworldly. Soothing and evocative, yet hip and modern.The tracks I'm most fond of are:I Feel ItCallingSpacewalkMoon and the NightSo BeautifulAt the moment, my favorite among them (although it's extremely hard to choose, so they tend to rotate) would probably be Calling. It has such a light melody, and it's also light on lyrics; PERFECT chill-out song!!Spacewalk is awesome fare for a short midnight drive. And you'll feel like a boss through every mile of the trip!Moon and the Night feels a little more "heavy" - still a great chill-out track, but with a more urban vibe to it. It's the song that introduced me to this group. I just happened to stumble on this song while searching videos on YouTube and actually, I hated it!...at first. But, for some reason I just HAD to hear it again. And again. And again! Now I'm completely hooked!So Beautiful is a song that I find kind of hard to listen to. It hits a little too deep. It's an amazing piece, the sound possessing a genuine dream-like quality, but it's a little TOO good at stirring up a melancholy feeling in me, so I save it for those times when I'm just in "that" mood. So Beautiful is probably one of the greatest musical pieces I've ever listened to, given its power over me.I want this song played at my funeral...if that tells you anything.Lastly, I Feel It is a bit more "pop-ish" than the rest of the album. A fun track, especially when there's that someone in your life that you DESPERATELY want to ask out and you suspect that they might want the same thing, too.The remainder of the album is good too, but when I played the album through a couple times these were the ones that really stood out to me. I've played out these songs SOOOO many times, yet I keep falling in love with them over and over!My conclusion: Helium is not just an album, but a musical experience that EVERYONE should enjoy! ;)

Top rank
I have a very hard time finding music I love to listen to. Even listening to sample cuts doesn't tell you the whole story -so it's a bit hit-and-miss. This was definitely a hit for me. Besides the incredible creativity, they hooked me as a rabid fan when I found each of their tracks was different from each other rather than just a variation of the same sound over-and-over. Music is highly subjective but the Helium album is so damn good I listen to it over and over without getting tired of it. Very rare for me.

Mindblowing!
What is there to say about Urban Myth Club that hasn't already been said? It's simply sensational. Listening to every track is euphemism to one's ears. "I Feel It" is definitely a track that I've had on repeat on my ipod for a while. I just love the vocals. Each track just emits all these emotions, for whichever mood you are in. I feel like the personality of this album is an attractive one and will continue to be on my playlist. Spacewalk is definitely another one of my favorites and I am just chilled out when I listen to this. I must say that this is one of the best downtempo albums I've heard in a long while.

Chillax!
This is such a great album, I can't believe it hasn't become more popular. I got this when it first came out and have been dying for them to come out with anything else. With all the hype around "Electronica" This album defines what electronica should be. They have more of a musical tone than most others in their genre... DH and I both love it, and consider it one of our all time favorites.

No words can describe my feelings
I was completely speechless when I heard this album. Urban Myth Club has come into the downtempo world and changed the whole platform of the genre. The tracks tell a story that you just don't want to end and you just want to listen to this story over and over again. "I Feel It" is the track that pulled me in. I didn't believe that the other tracks would be as good as the first one, but surely, I was proved wrong. Urban Myth Club has surpassed my expectations! I definitely recommend!

Great Chill-Out record
This is probably one of the best down-tempo-chill-out albums I have heard in a while. The intro track serves as a preview of the album. It just has that ambient vibe that follows through the entire record. The female vocalist adds a rich texture to most of the tracks on the album.I recommend this album to anyone who likes to have small get togethers with friends.

I'm Feeling this...
I don't usually write reviews, but I had to for this because I wanted to share how I felt about this truly amazing album. Great tracks to play at a dinner party or in the morning when you're just getting into the grind. I would start with the track "I Feel It."
