Boheme

Boheme by Deep Forest is an original work of art which integrates so many different musical ideas it should appeal to most listeners. This is one CD where you may never get the itch to "fast forward" a particular song. It flows so well I am always surprised each time it ends. "Why do all the good ones seem so short?" I'll say to myself. I enjoy listening to other artists like Mythos, Enigma, and more recently Delirium or Magna Canta. All of these artists create wonder by blending modern day sound with traditional concepts and/or styles. However, Boheme began to have a unique and "sacred" appeal to it so I regard this CD as very special. I recommend Boheme to any who wish to be "enchanted" by the forces of ancestral yesteryear blended with the musical delights of today!! I own two copies of Deep Forest's "Boheme" to make certain I will never be without this great music.

Nicely produced and looks great / sounds greatThis is the album I like to be in my little vinyl collection - great album

I have enjoyed "Deep Forest" compilations from their first album. "Boheme" is a lovely collection--a somewhat smoother and more "pop" version of the "Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares" compilations when "world music" started to become more mainstream.

Boy, this is a tough one to review. For just about anyone, I mean, because this is so unusual, so far removed from anything else, even other New Age music (oh, just deal already!), there's absolutely nothing to compare it to.Which means you have to judge it for what it is, which is...well, I don't know. It has the pygmy sounds, and I could tell they were going for the "electronica" elements (nice touch), y'know, so it doesn't get lumped with generic New Age. Other than that, this is just a very nice, offbeat, listenable album. I did say "really pretty" too, right? :-)

I bought this for my 8 year old son to use as "calming music". Since he has Autism, it's hard for him to calm himself after he gets upset. This CD is perfect, it has rich, complex sounds and a wonderful cultural beat that my son finds enthralling. Definitely worth getting!

A magnificent piece. One of my early explorations in Ambient World Electronica, it remains among my highest rated. I also own Deep Forest III, Comparasa, but return to Boheme more often. Great for fans of the genre; the vocalizations may stretch your current paradigm. Also a great experience for people looking to expand their musical preferences.

I really think the subject line says it all; I love the sounds of "Deep Forest", and this is an outstanding album. I wish there were more.

If you enjoy Deep Forest, you'll truly enjoy this CD. Full of upbeat sounds of old world music. Though you may not understand the words, you find yourself singing along.
