DEEP FOREST Comparsa PRODUCER: Deep Forest 550 Music 3943 Third album from Deep Forest's self-described "sound reporters"--Eric Mouquet and Michel Sanchez--is a joyous technicolor explosion of synth-sculpted dance rhythms, and a vibrant contrast to its more monochromatic predecessor, "Boheme." Their sampled, performed, and remixed tunes--with global influences almost too numerous to distinguish--feature such guest stars as Joe Zawinul, Syrian vocalist Abed Azrie, and Mexican rocker Ana Toroja of Mecano. In a striking set that makes Deep Forest sound more actual and less virtual, highlights include the great Afro-pop hooks and undulating horn charts of "Noonday Sun," the naive melody and rich vocal harmonies of "Green And Blue," the massive grooves and raging choral refrains of "Forest Power," and the rumba-flavored call-and-response of "Radio Belize." ~~~~~~~~ Edited by Paul Verna Copyright of Billboard is the property of BPI Communications and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
