| Details: |
Deep Forest: Michel Sanchez (accordion, piano, keyboards); Eric Mouquet (keyboards, vocoder, zendrum). Additional personnel: Beverly Jo Scott (vocals, vocoder); Stefka Iordanova (vocals); Philippe Paradis (guitar); Dave Fall (drums); Kifu Mitsuhashi (shakuhachi). Mike Sanchez and Eric Mouquet of Deep Forest have always been musical anthropologists, sampling the sounds of other cultures (Pygmy tribes of Cameroon, Gypsies of Eastern Europe, Cuban street musicians, to name just a few) and swirling them into their own ambient dance pop. On this 2002 release the French duo revisits some old samples and also brings in Turkish chant, Japanese pop, and Indian vocals. They introduce startling new elements as well: heavy electric guitars, many lyrics written in English, and a live drummer replacing the programmed rhythm tracks of their previous recordings. Many of the lyrics here concern environmental issues and warn of the impending dangers of soullessness. Definitely not soulless are "Yuki Song," an old-fashione... |
