Comments

The first album Deep Forest released was so successful they released it again with a pile of remixes on it. There's the classic track "Sweet Lullaby", of course, which now deservedly graces many a world music compilation, and less well-known but brilliant tracks like "Hunting" and "Night Bird". Mixing dance beats with ethnic sounds is unfortunately now something of a cliché, but Deep Forest does it with style.

The remixes are all right and generally pretty good, though listening to the same song over and over again gets a tad wearying. Still the ambient version of "Sweet Lullaby" and the Sunrise at Alcatraz remix are both cool.
