This is the fifth Deep
Forest album, released in 1997. I agree it`s kinda dated. It cost me a
measly 2.00 $ at Renaissance Montréal. What can I say? I`m a sucker for
bargains. On this album, they do a potent mix of world music with lots of
experimentations, electronic, ambient and ethnic sounds. You will hear vocalists
(singing in their native language) from Cuba, Belize,
Mexico and Madagascar amongst other places. The vibe here focuses
on Caribbean and Latin grooves. There`s a nice use of the
accordion and some acoustic guitar as well. I liked the whole album. There`s
some songs who caught my attention big time, they are:
1 – Noonday sun (5.00
minutes) = song oriented world music + accordion = a good start, that`s for
sure.
3 – Madazulu (3.23
minutes) = electronic music + ethnic vocals + some vocoder + some accordion
again = we`ve got a winner here folks.
4 – 1716 (1.03 minutes) =
a short & sweet ambient interlude dedicated to Weather
Report.
9 – Radio Belize (3.58
minutes) = ethnic vocals + vocoder + really nice acoustic guitar works = pure
bliss. A good introduction to world music. Like Dimitri From Paris these
fine gentlemen come from France.
