Summary: International richness
Comment: French, African, Peru, Asia, it all melts together so deliciously here. One thing I loved about the CD insert was more than passing mention of the artists. Love the South African voices which remind me a lot of the Ladysmith Black Mambazo singers from Paul Simons Graceland album.
Something Deep Forest does that is so rare and magical is use the human voice and unique instruments in a wonderful, rich and bountiful way.Deep Weather is a song that as I close my eyes I am reminded of almost rhythmic conversations I have heard on the beaches of Belize, Brazil or even Hawaii. And the harmonica or accordion used in the piece make it rustic as well.
My family laughed when I said that Comparsa started out reminding me of some Swiss dancers and quickly bounced over to some Cossack dancers and then Argentina. Talk about a world tour of dance.
Tres Maria the CD cover notes is dedicated to Ochun, Pantheon's divinity Yoruba, God of sweet waters, Queen of Beauty and Love, Master of Gold. Have read that this is where the custom of tossing a coin in a fountain or water source came from. Anyway the song is as sensual as she is said to have been.
Radio Belize has some awesome Spanish guitar work, and electronic vocals that are utterly fun to listen to. This whole CD is one I put on when I want to get alot done during the day. Not only is the music happy and well tempered but one cannot help but smile when listening to the CD. Also love what appears to be either alto or bass saxophone.
La lune se bat avec les etoiles... sounds a bit like some of what Yanni has on his Tribute CD. Which like his CD's done from the Taj Mahal, Forbidden City and Greece has such international flavours.
Forest Power has the rich and varied voices and flavours of Deep Forests Boheme CD.
Media Luna has a very Peruvian sound in my opinion. Even though the CD insert says its more 'Arab and Andalusian music meet in the world mix'. But listen closely and there it is. That beautiful Arabic voice.
All I know is I love it!!!

Summary: Deep Forest Rocks !!!!!
Comment: Deep Forest is one of the rare music groups which blend world music in a harmonious and coherent style. Their tracks stretch from Macedonia to Solomon Islands and from Hungary to Mongolia. It is really a soothing experience to listen to Deep Forest.

Summary: Wonderfully light
Comment: Deep Forest's third CD called Comparsa is wonderfully light and highly spiritual. As usual in their music, there is an element of folk music from different continents - this one represents some tribal sounds again. It is happy, stunning. My four-year-old daughter adores it. Great dancing tunes on top of dramatic, meditative scores. Highly recommended!

Summary: their best, IMHO
Comment: I like the first CD, Deep Forest, and I *Really* like this one. It really does justice to the World Music idea by incorporating folk sounds into a very upbeat sound.What helps is the influence of the folk sounds adds naturally to the dance flavor of the CD, rather than being forced.
This was one of those few CDs that I put on "Repeat All" and listened to non-stop for several days after I got it.
