"How do you describe a record that has what this record has? I bought it solely after falling in love with the single "Please Believe", and it's yearning theme and charming keyboard riff. It's not exactly representative of the whole album, but then again, none of the 16 songs are, which is part of why it's so remarkable. A lot of guitar/keyboard-driven techno-rock with great hooks resides in the album, resulting in the speedy tracks "Revenger" and "Everything", the semi-driving "Samovar", and the bouncy "La Futura". "Starwood" and "Move" are two of the most beautiful tracks, with sweeping keys and thoughtful introspection, (with "Starwood" adding some distorted guitars halfway through). My favorite song is "Stormy Hill", a mid-tempo modern pop tune, with a great melody, cool shuffle beat, and a simple keyboard riff that compliments the song well. A marvelously crafted album that does a great balancing act between guitars and keyboards, mini-epics, (like "Starwood") and random thoughts, ("Move", "Here"), "Ultra Forever" creates wide-eyed original modern rock with ear-candy precision."

Timeless Rock

"Fold Zandura is one of those bands that could have been concidered great in the eyes of the public but was lost in the mass of independently released albums of the late 90's. Although plagued with many side projects, front man Jyro created one of the greatest albums in my very humble opinion. The fusion of electronica, rock and pop is uncomparable to any other artist. Way ahead of their time, Fold Zandura will be listened to for years to come as a unsung pioneer in alternative music. From the first ambient vocals to the final soaring guitars, Ultraforever is a journey reminiscent of Pink Floyd, a rarity in today's music. Ultraforever IS a MUST HAVE album.
