Deep Forest

Innovatively fusing traditional ethnic musics with state-of-the-art rhythms, the work of Deep Forest was best typified by their 1993 smash "Sweet Lullaby," which brought together the contemporary sounds of ambient techno with the haunting voices of the Pygmies of the central African rain forest. The project was primarily the work of the French keyboardists and programmers Eric Mouquet and Michael Sanchez; after the latter returned from Africa with boxes of records he'd picked up across the continent, he and Mouquet began sampling the native sounds for use with their atmospheric dance tracks, and with the aid of producer Dan Lacksman, their eponymous debut LP appeared in 1993. Propelled by the international hit "Sweet Lullaby," Deep Forest was a surprise success; Mouquet and Sanchez soon began work on a follow-up, this time exploring such areas as Mongolia, India and Hungary, recording several tracks with singer Marta Sebestyen. The resulting album, Boheme, appeared in 1995; the third Deep Forest record, Comparsa, followed in 1998, with Live in Japan appearing a year later. In 2000 the duo recorded a soundtrack, Pacifique, to the French film Le Prince du Pacifique. Deep Forest returned in 2002 with its next proper studio album, Music.Detected_. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

This song was on the owner's video for my new 911 Porsche Turbo in the 90's - I immediately purchased four of the same Deep Forest CD's and would use the music for brisk drives very early in the morning and today it is still on my devices and is my favorite single CD...
One of the strangest groups I've ever hear but strangely pleasant.
I adore Deep Forest
I also heard them in 1995.. in Las vegas... I LOVE THEM
I first became aware of Deep Forest in Los Angeles in 1995, and even today I remember the exact day, street, and store in Burbank where it was playing. I was like everyone else, asking the cashier in amazement, Who IS that? Many played to death cassettes, CDs and downloads later, I remain in awe of this duo. The afternoon I first heard them, a miraculous multiple rainbow appeared around the sun over Burbank.

To me that sums it up :)

Fan forever

When I put this song and few other of Deep Forest's on heavy Rotation, my fellow DJ's (we called them programmers for some reason, thought I'd went and truly smoked one to many spliffs. But te audience ate it up, the request lines lit up like crazy, asking Who Is THAT?? Two of us working in record stores remember them? were more than happy to tell them. I believe my first CD wasn't even labeled, just markered on. I'll always love them, and am SO impressed that Pandora got lyrics!!

Magnificence in music mixology! Nuff said!
I have loved Deep Forest since it's debut in the early 1990's living in Manhattan, New York. When I hear this music...it stops me where I stand, as a microcosm of my origins of soul searching... n o t excluding all who travelled along and still remain.

I'm quite the old f*rt and I find it magnificent. This coming from an old Beaver & Krause, Floyd: Saucer full of secrets, Enya freak. It floats, and it aint Ivory soap.

Absolutely captivating!
I have developed such a love for Deep Forest since I first heard them when I was 19. I never have loved another band as I love this one. Deep Forest is amazing in every sense.
The best of best. Deep forest rocks!
awakens the primal senses
To relax it is my favorite! Save the Planet! Save The Amazon Forest!

WOW. UNIQUE; MUSICALLY VERY INTERESTING. GREAT DANCE MUSIC.
Windy Williquette, You were 15 when you bought this CD. I'm 64 and I love it and it's my next CD,a must have. I love these people's childlike voices.
I had this cd when I was 15.. I was awesome.. LOL
The Pygmies, like the people on this album, are the coolest people on the face of the Earth. They live in huts made of marajuana leaves. For fun they'll roll up a little piece of the shanty and fire it up. Squatting inside their hut, they'll pass it to whover's beside them,and holding it all in,they'll say"Heyyouwa n n a g e t s m a l l ? " They also play checkers faster than anyone in the universe, probably, because they have hours of time between moves, since their sense of time is so sloooowed dooooooown.
This sounds a lot like the first Baka Beyond album Spirit of the Forest.
The award winning first Baka Beyond album. Music inspired by Martin Cradick's first visit to the baka Pygmies in 1992. The birth of the band Baka Beyond

Real soul music 4rom the E.A.E.R.T.H. ............
Deep Forest has also done som remix work. I have a CD called "The deseo REMIXES" that has 2 songs from them on it.
To:Ash, Just burn your tape to your computer harddrive and then make a CD from that.

Why can't I select specific songs from the Deep Forest album as seed songs?
Why don't they have the original album out? It was sooooo great! I have it on tape, and it's starting to die. I wanted to find it on CD, but it's different than the original. Waaaaaaaaaaa a a a a a a a a a a a ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I first found out of Deep Forest in (gasp!) MTV where they showed their Sweet Lullaby video. As many other other people commented: it's music that moves, motivates and inspires. Nothing like the sound of nature and people who had lived with Nature for so long, melded together to form a unique harmony. I too had the cassette which was broken for playing it for so long. I bought the CD on a now-defunct web page and I did the smart thing: I downloaded the songs. A must have for any New Age fan.

I love listening to Deep Forest. It helps me to feel more creative.
Sweet Lullaby was a fantastic tape! Loved it - still do to this day - wish they would release it on CD now as my tape has just about had it. Their other albums were a bit too commercializ e d for me, but the origional one was lovely. If I could buy it on cd, I'd buy their first album two or three times over.
I heard "Sweet Lullaby" for the first time while I was driving. I had to pull over to listen to it. The song had moved me in a way few pieces have. I bought the cassette (I did not have a CD player yet) and played it until I could hardly hear the music. Deep Forest has found a way to seamlessly meld the ancient and the modern, the primitive and and technologica l l y advanced with neither overpowering the other. Beautiful music that can take me away.
I love their music, its so diferent, it makes me feel like I am on a trip somewhere, its relaxing, but invoigoratin g , the kind of music I want to do yoga to. It feels like it expands my horizons. just cool stuff.
