EAN: 0074645784021 Format: Extra tracks Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: December 14, 1993 Studio: Sony Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The primordial unknown--or the modern urban dweller's impressions thereof--has long been a staple of New Age music. So it was only a matter of time before some studio whiz got the notion to take the translation process one step further and bring that atmosphere to the dance floor.

I no longer analyze why this "story" soothes me: as I drift off it turns into a dream. How cool is that! Rating: - Marvelous!Are you looking for ambient music with kickin' beats? Well look no more because "Deep Forest" is your answer! Deep Forest is a wildly exciting mixture of forest-like synths and soulful vocalizations. The prime players in Deep Forest are the Pygmies of the rainforests of Cameroun, Burundi and Senegal. Deep Forest was created by two musicologists who recorded all the vocal tracks. The added synths, bass and percussion are splendidly perplexing. And the harmonically beautiful vocals of these natives ...

More imaginative than typical "new age" stuff. Even Tom Servo and Crooow lampooned most new age stuff on a MST3K show. They said to make a New Age album one only has to get a Synthsizing Organ, hold some keys down for infinate and get a contract! Deep Forest goes far beyond that! Taking aborigone African drumming and piping, refashioning ... Read More |
